Time for another update!....Seems winter never came this year. Only a few colds days and nights and that's it. No snow to amount to anything at all, nothing that ever accumulated on the ground just trickled down a few times and melted.
We are in the middle of a much needed bathroom remodel. It is our main bathroom upstairs and as no one really saw it but Don and I we just kind of ignored how ugly and worn out it had become. Finally we just bit the bullet and began. Don gutted the room and then we have had a plumber come in and put in a new tub, rearrange some plumbing to put in a pedestal sink, was able to move the toilet 3" back towards the wall. (it sat out at least 4" from the wall) electrician rewired some switches, added a fan and light bar over the mirror, sheet rockers came, we just finished painting to day, so electrician can come back and do his finishing, I think now we wait for the guy who is going to do some kind of stuff around our tub area. I painted it two different colors a brown and a greenish turquoise. I really like it, think it will look good with all the white in there.
Well another bit of news is that I bought my husband a 2005 Harley Davidson XL883C. It was one of our son-in-laws bikes. Was able to TOTALLY surprise Don. Eric took it over and put it in the garage while we were at bible study and when we came home and Don pushed the button to raise the garage door....WOLA there it was, he was speechless. He got his permit so he can ride it around, but we both are going to take a three day motorcycle course and if you pass the course you automatically get your license. I am seriously thinking of getting one also. After I take the class I will know for sure. Don is just loving it. One evening he took off to go show one of our friends, Lance Gordon, and Lance has a bike too, so they took off together over to Erics, and then all three took off and rode around for awhile. Had a great time!!!! So enjoy seeing him enjoy his new toy. Beautiful bike Eric took mint care of it, only had 872 miles on it.
Kids are all doing well. Tara continues to be unemployed at this time. It's been over a year now since she got laid off. She keeps hoping the County will start re-hiring and she can get her old job back. They will be going to Hawaii in May to attend a wedding. One of Taras school friends.
Chad and Lisa survived all the cutbacks and are doing very well at there jobs. Lisa is getting the baby bug, but ....Chad not so sure yet.
One of the worst things that has happened is that my house cleaner has injured her ankle and is out of commission for and unknown length of time. I can not clean my own house!! So, I hired Tara this last week. Don't think she was to excited, but the money talked when you are on unemployement!!!
Well at this time photos will not load so will try later.
