Happy Anniversary to Us!

I love you Golfer! XOXOXO

Lamps, Artwork, and Pretty Stuff!

Hey, again!

This is the quilt Bikini made using the patches from my Mom's jacket. When Mom would come to visit us different places we lived, she'd get a patch for her jacket. If we took an interesting vacation, we'd get her a patch there, too. We have this in our bedroom.

Here are a couple views of some of the new artwork and the lamps. Disregard the date on some of the pictures, I was having camera "issues"!
















I think Golfer's lamp looks like a tie!





Other things have been moved around in the house and "tweaked" and we're comfortable with it all. And as of this moment, the yard work is all done, too. So, AHHHHH!

Stay safe! More later.

New Furniture!

Golfer and I are getting used to the new things and we both like everything very much. Lynn did a great job and was very patient. . . . .even when she had furry kids helping her! Here's a sample of what is here now.

This is usually referred to as the "guest chair". It's pretty comfortable. The light is nice in the evenings when we're watching TV. Don't know where we'll move it when we put a Christmas tree up!


The next picture shows the rug, ottoman and the loveseat. The furry kids love hiding under the ottoman.

Next is a view of the recliners. You can sort of see the new side tables. This was taken before the new lamps arrived. I'll share some views of some of the artwork and lamps in another post. Stay safe!

Back from Vacation (a week ago!)

Hey, all!

Sorry it's been a while. Golfer and I were on vacation in Myrtle Beach. He was playing in a golf tournament for Military Retirees. Several friends go on this trip also, as well as Bikini and her family. She started taking her vacation at this time a few years ago and we get a week with her, Brief, Boxer and Bloomer. Great to see them! The kids love the pools and the water park. Nurse J, Cable Guy, and BeyB couldn't go this year because of work and school commitments and we missed them.

Anyway, we're home now and the past week has been a flurry of activity around here. First there was the catching up around the house and the errands. I had to go back to work. Then there were deliveries! Lynn, our decorator, brought new rugs, an ottoman, art work, and an accent chair. The next day Lazy Boy delivered the things we ordered from them. Then we had to have someone pick up the old furniture and get it out of the garage. Today Lynn returned with lamps for us to look at and she wanted to tweak a few things. All in all things are looking lovely and much improved. I only cried once today and that was Hermione's fault.

Lynn set up each of the lamps she brought to see which we liked and where. So we decided and then moved on to the bedroom to check on something. We were standing there talking when we heard the crash. Let the beatings begin!! Hermione had knocked one of the new lamps onto the floor. Fortunately, the only breakage on it was the finial and the bulb. Lynn will get a new finial and we had another bulb. Hermione knew I was really upset and moved herself under our bed for a while. We know she did not do it on purpose, but geez!

In between all of this, I've been doing my own tweaking of things and rearranged some pictures and framed things. That, of course, involved doing some spackling and touch up painting. We just finished moving the cuckoo clock. The paint is drying now!

We'll be taking some more pictures soon and I'll try to get them posted here. I just wanted you to know we did not fall on the edge of the earth. Just been busy. Hopefully I'll post pictures soon.

Take care and stay safe!

Happy 40th, Nurse J!

Love you!
