Window Day & Is She?




Well, it was "Installing the Window" day. The very last one! Thank Goodness it's done. The day started off cloudy so Hubby jumped to it. Had that window torn out in No time flat. Installed the new one and now we're good to go. I Love these windows because you can swing them down to clean. The old ones came on the house and were 36yrs old...geez. We've also got a guy, that works for us, coming next weekend to start the larger "honey do's" around here. Makes searching for someone to do the hard stuff just a little easier! The carport beams need scraping and painting...patio cover (wood) needs mending...House needs painting...on and on. We will buy the material and pay him labor.
Now, the "is she" part...LOL....Not That!!! Moving! Moving!!LOL....Long story short, Crystal is thinking of moving out to her own little home. We all had a long conversation about it last night and she really feels this might just be the right time for her to make the leap. She has had talks with the kiddos about it, especially Sami, who says although she loves Gamma and Gampa very much, she just wondered why they didn't have their Own home...(LOL...Will said he Wasn't moving...Until he found out the townhouse had stairs...little traitor)!!LOL...So anyway, she started looking today and has an expectant and happy aire about her...excitement! We're happy for her and the children. That's as it Should be. Hubby and I have told her we're here for her no matter what happens. This is her home. Always.

So, while eating dinner, the doorbell rang and it was my friend Ellani. She, Crystal and I had a fun visit with lots of laughs while Hubby called it a night. She's gone now and I remembered I needed to get Saturdays post finished...so if None of this made sense? I'm sorry! But I'm off to bed. Windows, mowing, working the garden..and all that darn laughing...I'm pooped! Night all.....

They've been with you for a while now, haven't they? It will be an adjustment for you all, but it sound as though they won't be far away.
What kind of flower is in the last picture? It's wonderful!

Jazzi- Hi Girl! Hope you're finding time to Rest!! And yes...we shall miss the day to day activity...And she might be moving out sooner than we thought. She's calling Monday about another property. It's only 2 bedrm but she can get on the list for the 3bdrm if one comes available at a later date...we'll see. The flower is one of my 'puter backgrounds. It looks tropical, but I thought it was beautiful. Stay happy and know WE ALL Miss you!!!hughugs

Now, this is wierd. Your post didn't show up on my computer until just now. Maybe it's my computer, or maybe I really haven't been here, but I thought I had, and anyway I'm an idiot in the first place. hahahahaha

Okay then, I love your new windows! The problem I have here is that every time I clean them, then it rains which means I don't clean them often!!

I'm glad for Crystal and the kids; it's sure gonna be quiet there at yours.

That's all I have to say at the moment - my mind is on keys. Yes, blasted *&^%$# KEYS!! hahaha

Your window looks great. I imagine it lets tonnes of light in.

Beautiful photos. I am proud of Crystal wanting to get a place of her own. I am sure you will get to see Sam and William a lot. Plus, you will get to see Crystal daily.

On your "guy" would he come up to Missouri, I have a long list that we can afford to pay for the materials but have no way to do it ourselves.
Hope you are having a great day sweetie. *HUGS*
