Hey!

I did  not mention in my last post that while washing the windows, there was an "incident".  The very first window I was cleaning had issues and the lower section slipped out of the frame.  I tried to get it back in place, but could not.  I called our Handyman friend and he came by and put it back.  Some work will be done on that window in the near future.  For now it is secure.

Fortunately, it was one of the warmer days here, so it was fine having that window open.  Finnigan was especially happy about that.  Les took this picture.


I am taking today as a slow day and not doing much.  The last couple days I did work in the yard and got some things cleaned up and looking better.  No word yet on when the major work is going to happen with the landscapers.

Take care of yourselves.  Life is still good.  Be kind.  And God Bless America!

It's Been a While

I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.  Les and I are okayish.

I've been taking care of projects around here, and I have people lined up to take care of the things I can not handle or do.  

Power washing of the house was done last week.  Looks very nice.  That meant I could clean windows, so now they look better.  The same day, but later, our sprinkler system guy came and did the Spring turn on service and checked the system.  He made a couple repairs, so we are good to go when we're ready to turn the system on.  We haven't done that yet.  Right before that day we had three inches of rain, so the ground was pretty soggy.  

I got our porch pansies and got those potted.  They are lovely and make me happy.


The last couple days I have done some cleanup work in the yard.  Marlowe's We Care Landscaping will be working on the mulched area in front of the porch.  The shrubs there are the originals from when we built in 1995.  And honestly, they are looking sad.  So those and the aging Liriope will all be replaced and the area cleaned up.  The first thing I told them was that the large Azalea will be staying!  We've paid the deposit and are waiting to hear when the work will be done.  They will also put down new mulch around the patio.  

New mulch for other areas is waiting until we see if we need to have the Ash tree removed.  

And we will have someone coming to repair a porch rail section.  And he'll replace the weather strip on the bottom of the front door.

Hopefully this week, I will get a few errands done, get a trip to the Commissary done, and get the cars cleaned.  I did get the car mats out of the attic and down to the garage so those can be swapped out when the cars are cleaned.  We use the Weather Tech ones in the Winter.

So that is how things are here.  Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Be kind.  And God Bless America.  Life is good.

Hey


Well.....  We did have more snow and ice, and I do mean MORE.  It took a while for it all to melt and go away.

Les is doing alright, and he'll be doing his exercises on his own now.  I think the discharge nurse comes next week.  

I battled severe bronchitis for at least three weeks, but that is pretty much all better now.  Although I am on antibiotics again for another eye infection.  My eye doc said, "well, we need to have more antibiotics for longer this time".  I am doing okay.

I am just trying to keep up with things; some days are easier than others. Jacquie went with me to buy a new washer.  That should be delivered tomorrow.  Les and I got our tax form info filled out and took that to the new accountant.  We have not heard anything from them yet. 

Take care of yourselves, stay safe, and be kind.  Life is still good.  And God Bless America!
