Making Progress

Yesterday I was able to clean up the guest room. It had become an extra closet and things were being tossed in there when we were too lazy to make a decision to put them where they belong. So many boxes! We save boxes because it seems we're always shipping out something to someone and Christmas is coming so that means more shipping! Was able to limit the number and broke down enough to warrant a trip to the recycling center.

Changed the linens on the bed and did some major dusting. The window is terrible and the view into the former cat room now turned storage room is awful!

Most of the hardware is on the doors thanks to dad. Chuck is coming this AM to install the remaining closet door. We'll wait for the final bathroom door until later. Maybe Dennis will want to help with that or we can have it done after they leave.

Took ourselves our for lunch/dinner at Ozona's and then did some shopping stopping by the mall to see if my glasses could be improved. They can't--permanently scratched. BUT they're having a sale and I can get a completely new upgraded quality lenses for $179--which is quite a deal considering I have no-line tri-focals. And the frame will be smaller which I like. Goes nicely with my new hair which I also like.

New neighbors are moving in. The dogs have noticed! We want to make up a card with our pictures to welcome them and maybe make them a meal. They have a big camper on the property--Franklin "The Mayor" will not be pleased! Wonder how long it will take him to make his presence known! The trains seemed particularly loud last night and since they're closer to them than we are wonder what they thought of that!

Jeff and Ben come for breakfast this AM and then the meetings. Will stop to do some shopping and then home to see if we can get curtains up on the French doors and continue cleaning. Tomorrow will try to do all the main cleaning to be ready. The rest of the time will continue cooking and work on my room. Rain is in the forecast which we need but hope that doesn't interfere with their trip.

The festival they're going to is some sort of weinerwurst festival--guess it goes on for a while. It would be nice to attend some time but not now. Maybe we can allow a day to take them into Galveston. So much to do between now and Christmas. Began Christmas shopping yesterday and found some things for the Unity Conference gifts I'm collecting for in February.

Overall a good day and we're both feeling better from our colds.

Gotta run!

Peace!
