We're rounding the last corner

Hi Dee Ho Peeps!

Well, last night we got you guys mostly caught up with the shenanigans around here in a rather lengthy post.  We'll try to keep it down today but no promises, I tend to ramble!

The ginormous refrigerator/freezer is in and we are using it! Woohoo!!!

(There she goes with those ding dang exclamation marks again!)

The stairwell is all done and all those little blue tape scratches have been repaired now.

Our new sofa got delivered....in a box!  Who knew??!!

Hubster got the new light fixture installed in the garage entry area.

It's so much brighter than the "boob" light it replaced.

It's reading yellow in this pic but it was getting dark so the lighting was wonky.

I had another fixture to put here outside the Merebear and Abogg's rooms but it didn't work so we just added a can light.  It's still brighter so that's good. 

We have cabinet doors here too!!

We got cabinet doors on Monday!  Woohoo and my stove is just still so lovely. 

Now I just need to figure out how to use it!

The microwave station is all set up and waiting on knobs/pulls.  That's what is in that box by the way.

Dry bar just needs the glass shelves installed.

New furniture!  We moved the furniture in and put it all together last night.

You'll see the full pics tomorrow...hopefully!  We covered it up before they arrived this morning just in case any painting got done in that area today. 

That was the State of Union on Monday evening.  Today has been hardware installation, final paint touch-ups, and attempting to fix my precious stove that the propane company messed up when they came to do a leak check.  grrrrrrrr   Hector is on it and is bound and determined to find a way to repair the leg they messed up.   

Alright, let's finish out dinner and such from the past weekend

Friday evening:  We headed out to dinner with our amazing neighbors at BoomerJacks

I'm telling you, our neighbors always call just when we need them to!

Saturday:  Hubster and I tried to obtain heat stroke levels while working in the yard all day long.  He mowed and trimmed, and I weeded the entire garden.   We cleaned up and headed to Costco to replenish the depleted stock around here.   Roberto wandered over and we had Salad w/ Sirloin beef strips for dinner.     Costco pound cake with berries finished off the meal then we waited on Court and MattC to arrive.   They got in at about 11 and we fell exhausted into bed. 

Sunday:  We had some breakfast then hung out in the pool with them for a bit.  PennPenn is scheduled for surgery in mid-July so she and Reggie Roni didn't get to play.   Reggie was not happy about that at all. 

After they headed out we installed light fixtures, moved stuff into the refrigerator and freezer, and all around pretended we could continue to live in that part of the house.  We had chips & salsa for dinner with some ice cream.   We were tired!

Monday evening:  After everyone left we headed to Lowe's to pick up a few things we needed so we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Braum's.   We keep saying it's the last time we have to eat out in the middle of the week, and then there we go again! haha 

Let's do some gratitude and get you people out of here for the day!

1) Light at the end of the tunnel- I can see it, it's coming!

2) Air conditioning - people it's hot here in Texas, like really hot

3) Contractors who care and don't say "That's not my problem".  Hector is doing everything he can to fix something the gas company broke.

4) A sofa to sit on and watch TV- those camping chairs were getting to be hard on the back.  I ain't no spring chicken no more!

5)  Seeing all the kids in the past 3 weeks!  Plus my niece, it fills my heart to see all of them and get that visual that they are all good!

See ya tomorrow and here's to hoping an end date is set!

 

Peace, Love, & Stay Cool
