Step One


Well this morning we dropped Lynilu off at the airport for her adventure back to New Mexico. It was great spending some time with her and we miss her already. We'll see her again in a few weeks when she comes back to get her things out of storage and then she will be "done" with KC for good. It was great having her as a neighbor and friend. The people that bought her house will not come close to how good of a neighbor she has been.


Last night we went to dinner to another neighbors and had a great time. Lynilu was closer to these neighbors then we have been and it was great getting to know them. Laura and I had said hi to these neighbors, but never spent an evening with them. We had homemade lasagna and it was so darn good. And the best part was we all were laughing the entire night, OH and gossiping about most of the other neighbors. It was fun. The neighbors we went to dinner with live across the street and they have several stray cats they have also adopted. They showed us their "cat condo" that they have built for their strays. They have a nice size dog house that has a cover on the door and a light inside to keep it warm. They also had this water/food dish that has lights under it to keep the water from freezing. I was so jealous and decided that we needed to do something like that for our strays.


As we were driving home from the airport Laura and I were talking and I told her we had to paint the bathroom. I was a little embarrassed that we didn't get it done before Lynilu got here, but it will surely be done when she comes back to town in a few weeks. We are suppose to get some major snow Sunday into Monday so I told Laura that would be the perfect time to paint the bathroom. So while we were at Walmart we got the paint and we are all ready to get the bathroom done. I can't wait to have it done.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Well, good! I'm glad you're taking a step toward getting the house fixed up more. It's also a step toward being ready to move when the time is right!

I enjoyed my visit a lot. I'm afraid I was rather distracted and stressed, but it was good to be with friends. It was more comfortable and de-stressing than had I been alone. One more stressful trip and I'll be done! Then I can just come to visit ... PERIOD!

Painting is such a pain in the rear, but it's the best and cheapest way to make over any room. Happy painting weekend. Stay warm!
