No, Di, nothing fancy in Shirley's house! Might put a tablecloth on the table, at Christmas. Use my Corelle dishes. Napkins are paper not cloth. But, Thanksgiving we are invited to Bill's. Set for a king!! China from another country and the Crystal. Cloth napkins with pretty rings. The guy our son is with, his mother went to different countries to but china& crystal. Impressions. I just want good food on a clean plate with clean silverware!! I attended school with his mother. Her Dad was my English teacher. Her mother worked at a glove factory like Boyd&I did. She finally got a job at Zimmer, Orthopedic factory, sewing. I later also got a job at Zimmer. Started out on Buidings&grounds. Later shipping. Some folks get above their raising!! I love her for God tells me I must love. I just don't waste my time, trying to impress. I am Shirley no matter the day or time or place. Take care my wonderful friend! Shirley
Good afternoon to you. Its a lovely Tuesday here. The sun is shining and it 68F here. The mornings are rather cool but it looks like next week is going to be cold. I'm not a fan of that but I knew it was going to happen. I have been very busy since Sunday. Not only did I do laundry and dishes I also vacummed out my car and dusted the dash. I was so sore Sunday evening from doing that. We have a funeral to go to on Friday. Its out of town. Takes 3 hours one way. So I won't be on here Friday. Well take care my friend and enjoy the rest of your day.
Good Morning this Tuesday! Our project is over. We have wonderful neighbors that shared their son's side business with us. Viewpoint Exteriors put in new windows for us. The deal was too good to pass up.
These two young men changed out our 18 windows in a day and a half. They were very considerate of our dogs and us. They cleaned before, during and after the installation of each window.
The reason it was a huge project for us is that we had to remove the blinds from each of the windows and that also meant moving furniture away from in front of each window so they had room to work.
Yes, we pushed & pulled most of the furniture in the house around before they got there and we also climbed on ladders and carried heavy (to us they were heavy) blinds out of the house.
Rbt was talking to Branden as he was caulking the windows and noticed that he would smear the caulk off his fingers onto the window. My hubby thought this nice young man had lost his mind. Then he realized the film hadn't been removed yet.
The end results were well worth the days of preparation it took us and the days after to get furniture inside and plants outside put back in place. But our bodies may not agree with that quite yet. More to come tomorrow.
