Busy weekend....we met up with Daughter E (hair stylist) and she gave us hair cuts on her day off at the salon. It was nice to be there without other people, and we re-stocked her groceries. She was very happy about that.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
Will link up later when she posts.
The weather . . .
31/23°F today, and we dip down to 5°F by the weekend. Snow moves in just before Christmas.
As I look outside my window . . .
It's cloudy and dreary.
Right now I am . . .
Getting ready to make a breakfast, brewing more coffee, as Daughter E is coming over to do laundry.
Thinking and pondering . . .
An antique store we often visit has those shade for oil lamps. They suggested I bring my glass piece in to be properly fitted for one. I guess I thought they were all standard size. I'm thinking of doing that for the one on the kitchen table.
How I am feeling . . .
Frustrated - see "from the camera"

From the camera . . .
We had a very, very busy weekend, and we didn't see this until we got home Saturday, could not sleep and woke up Sunday with another busy day intended on taking out this flooring (again). It is hard to show you with out a close up, but our handy man apparently doesn't know how to do flooring. He literally lined up the seams with full planks in between. It looks terrible. The seams need to be staggered (he did all 6 inches), looking like a real wood floor. The more we looked at it over the weekend, the more we hated it, and with the cost of flooring we were not going to leave it that way.
Our handyman declared more money to take it out and do it right. Guess who got fired and guess who is putting the floor in every night my husband is home from work? Yeah, us.
Out with the old....it came with the house about 14 years about, globe missing, just ugly and hangs low....lights didn't work right...
In with the new....remote control too. Simple, farmstead style, and we can control the fan for winter or summer (will work either direction). My husband and I took the old one out, put together the new one, and he re-wired it. The top still needs hooked to the ceiling, but it's in working order.
There is much work to do yet in the living room, and now we are behind getting the heat hooked up, but spending that much on flooring we want to enjoy the new room as well. It's a head shaker for sure.
What I am creating . . .
Devotional, Bible Verse, Prayers . . .
-prayers for Jim, a brother to a good friend of ours with MS. He was life flighted to a hospital due to half his body not functioning. No update on if it was a stroke or not yet.

Oh my! having to redo is certainly no fun.
Thinking of Jim.
Have a Merry Christmas!
Luludou, right? My husband said, we sort of saved the handy man. Now he knows how to do it for his own house. Just wish it was already done and done right, as a winter storm is moving in and we want the heater hooked up and running and furniture moved back.
