Catching Up...

It’s been a few days and I thought I had better update the blog before my Momma calls or sends me an email reminding me.

Well, Saturday we made a trip to the recycle center to haul off some junk. It’s always nice to spend your Saturday at a place with junk everywhere and watching lot of odd folks. Before I get hate mail, all people that recycle and people that work there are not all odd. However, you never know what you will see; there are a lot of interesting people in this world. I guess the man that won the “Most Odd” award was a gentleman with a t-shirt on that was way too short and tight for him. His pants were held up by suspenders. The kicker is, his belly hung down from under the shirt and over the button of his pants. To paint a better picture…we saw skin…and it was NOT pretty! My question is, did his Momma not teach him about appearance. I mean, you don’t have to get dressed up everywhere you go but wearing a shirt that covers ones belly is a must in my book! Momma always said, “The way you, Tim and your Daddy look when you leave this house is a reflection of me”! Oh, if I had a dime for every time I heard that one. Hmm, that could be a whole other blog…I can see the title now…Things Momma Said! Ok, I didn’t mean to say all that but you know me, sometimes, I just can’t help myself. (Oh, I know Larry will leave a comment on that one!)

Sunday we went to the early service at church. After lunch we painted our front porch railing and columns. It was a nice day for it. It looks so much better. Normally it’s me who is writing the ‘to-do’ list but this time it was Larry. I was SO not wanting to paint another thing inside or outside of this house! He was right, it needed it, so we painted and I’m glad we did. It looks great! Later Sunday night we got a wild hair. We have an old wood chair in our bedroom that has ugly fabric on it not to mention it don’t match our room, or any of our rooms. It is hard to explain what it looks like but anyway, we started taking off the fabric and the million staples that were holding it on. I’m going to refinish it. Like I need another project! What am I thinkin’? This might be a project to be finished once we get to Manhattan!

Monday…Larry is back at work and the kids are at their moms so it was just me and Molly. I cleaned out our closet; packed up stuff, made a give away pile, straightened things, etc. trying to make it look nice and big. It took a looong time! After dinner, Larry and I took the knobs off the kitchen cabinets, scrubbed the cabinets and put on new knobs. What a difference new knobs make!

Well, that catches everyone up. I know, not too exciting. Have a great week!
