Sunday evening....

The photo is of our dining room. We started emptying out bedrooms today, and got a good bit done. We hired someone to do our painting!! I am SO happy about that. Was not looking forward to painting, with a back still on the mend and my tender knees.  Our friends, Hattie & Jim, who live in Michigan now, still have family here and the brother-in-law is a painter for one of the local home builders. Hattie told me, when they were here a few months ago, that he does painting 'on the side' too.  I called him today, and asked if he would like the job, when can he do it, and how much would he charge. I'll just say the price was right, and he can do it this coming weekend. Whoohooo!

Speaking of tender knees, something happened today that really scared me.  I was in the laundry room, and turned around to leave the room when my knee (the really bad one) just went out on me. I couldn't do anything but fall on my butt. Thank goodness nothing broke, but my tailbone is really, really sore. I've been sitting on an ice pack, hoping it will help. I will tell you that I DID laugh at myself, and called Joe to come help me. When he saw me on the floor and was scared, too, I said "I've fallen and I can't get up"!  We both laughed and he helped me get up. I have no idea why it happened, except I just stepped wrong. It's bone-on-bone so there is no cushion to protect it. Good grief....getting old ain't for sissies.

We will be doing a little work in the rooms each night this week. I still have the closets to clean out, because I want them to be painted, too. I'm just glad this is getting done!! The flooring arrives on the 22nd, so we will be able to get that scheduled soon!!

That, and doing laundry, was my day! Hope yours was more fun!! Thanks for stopping by! I enjoy your comments. Peace, love & hugs.
