I've never heard of it, but will do some reserve. It's three in the mooring and I couldn't sleep. I've been up for around an hour now, so back to bed . . .the morning is coming and I've got lots to do :)<br />Have a great day!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-87622568649300934922014-04-21T08:56:59.913-07:002014-04-21T08:56:59.913-07:00Hi Connie,
I enjoyed your squash blossom story! ...Hi Connie,<br /><br />I enjoyed your squash blossom story! <br /><br />Wow, you've been busy. It's amazing the transformation some paint will have on a room. Like you, I'm not a fan of paneling. It sure was popular there for a while, though, wasn't it. Your kitchen area looks so much bigger and brighter already. How cool to have an acre of land too! Will you have any chickens? My friend in Phoenix got 40 eggs in one day! Her hens have been very happy and active. She takes the eggs to work and sells them by the dozen. Lucky co-workers.<br /><br />Salonpas really works for my aches and pains. I buy the patches and stick them wherever I need them. They comes in all different sizes too. I saw an Salonpas ointment advertised on t.v. but haven't tried that yet.<br /><br />Keep the renovation photos coming!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay<br />505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-15885816456856311102014-04-21T07:03:30.367-07:002014-04-21T07:03:30.367-07:00It is coming along nicely.It is coming along nicely.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084312435207377291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-14845827701374868082014-04-19T04:29:38.439-07:002014-04-19T04:29:38.439-07:00Either, I will be stronger and healthier or I will...Either, I will be stronger and healthier or I will be dead.

I have been putting in 8 and 10 hour days and that paneling is requiring two coats of primer and two and three coats of paint . . . I am getting so tried of the painting part of this and can not wait to get on with the yard work. After all, it is spring and Connie belongs outside :) Tomorrow I have a baby shower in the afternoon, so I plan of getting over there by 7 a.m. and stopping by 12 noon. It will be great to have a break and an afternoon to laugh and have fun with female friends. Happy Easter :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-2813322741482797262014-04-18T00:31:49.950-07:002014-04-18T00:31:49.950-07:00So the secret for me to not ache all of the time i...So the secret for me to not ache all of the time is to just climb up and down a ladder all day to get stronger!

Keeping a blog that is sort of a journal, you might find the time to write 10 minutes every night on your blog, or a half hour once a week. You will appreciate later reading about the journey with your new home. And later, your darling grandkids reading it as well! :)<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-31435924524687757322014-04-12T19:36:45.887-07:002014-04-12T19:36:45.887-07:00Evening Connie, I feel your pain!! lol!
