Wednesday and here come the before and after pictures. We are so excited not to have blinds and solar screens in and on the windows anymore. The 16 layers of insulation not only keep the outside temperature out and the inside temp in, but the house is so much more quiet.
This is the dining room with the sheer curtains put back up. I love being able to see out into the front yard through them. It is much more elegant than it was with the same sheers.
This is the guest room or Wendy's room, hehehe! It is so bright and cheerful and really no one can see in it. And the master bedroom is like a sun room during the day! I love to walk into it.
The master bathroom has the "rain" window on it and you can't see in or out of it. When the sun shines on it, it sparkles! We love it!
The computer room is my favorite room to look out of during the day or night and also to look at from the front of the house. The way they changed it makes it look so much larger and more appealing.
Of course this is also my favorite place! I love looking out from the kitchen or my chair in the living room. And I love being out in the yard and looking back at the house. Remember, you are invited to join us!
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.
Welcome to a cold Fall day, yes Monday is back again. I hope it will be a good week for all of us!
This picture of the moon was taken a month ago. How does time keep getting faster and faster?
That framework was built over 20 years ago. The lattis does need replacing but it is still hanging in there. The plastic is now 6 mil and almost too heavy for us but it sure does keep the warmth inside.
All the big plants were moved to the front a couple of days ago. Now they are all snug in the garage and in a day or two will be able to go back outside in the sun.
I might have a few Airplane plants if anyone wants to come pick some up. I also have about 6 other big Airplane plants scattered around and to give away.
My favorite yellow roses are blooming. I am so glad that they don't mind cold weather. I have these two bushes and 2 more big yellow roses bushes out near the fence. I hope you enjoy seeing what we have been doing around the yard this week.
Isn't it a gorgeous Saturday? Are you a morning person?
It's Saturday!!! Did you stay up late last night? Are you a night person?
Mom, can you be a morning person and a night person? I am! I just don't need more than 7 hours of sleep and can function easily on only 6 hours of sleep.
Some people are just different. I do play catch up on sleep every once in a while but that is usually when I have only had 5 hours or less.
Lovely patchwork colors are always a good choice to view the world.
But every now and then Black & White can be a wonderful choice.
But on Sunday when our high is only mid 50's and our low will be near freezing, it will not be a good day for this girl. However, I will still have a smile on my face and be wishing you...
Friday is finally here! I hope you have something wonderful planned for this weekend with friends.
Fall is a special time of year when the weather can be spring-like, summer-like, or winter-like.
But as long as you have friends around, you can enjoy the time together no matter what the weather is.
Surround yourself with those who care about your heart and things that matter to you.
Remember good friends are not just there in the good times but they are there for you forever, even when you say something they disagree with or do something by mistake. Forgive so you will be forgiven and continue to love each other.
Thursday is still a nice warm Fall day in our area. But there will soon be a chill in the air for the weekend.
I am not a winter person at all. Thank goodness we usually only have 6 weeks to 2 months of that season.
But I do love the colors of Fall, orange that is!
Now if we could just get some of that much needed rain it would be a perfect month.
The month of November is always fun when a Super Moon appears too! I took this a couple of nights ago. Were you looking at the same moon when I took this?
Today I have enjoyed sitting here and looking around at all the beautiful Fall pages. I have said prayers for you and your loved ones and given thanks for your friendship. Come on over anytime and sit with me for a while. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
In fact, happy first Monday of November! Just 2 months left in 2025!!!
Coffee isn't ready yet but it will be by the time I send this comment to you.
From this view we can spot an acorn before anyone else can see them. There are lots of acorns on the ground this year in our yard.
Just like I always dreamed about, the biggest acorn to feed my entire family! Woo Hoo!
I hope you are thankful for this Monday advice before the day is over today.
Because the time is sure flying and it will be Taco Tuesday before you know it! So I hope that you enjoy every minute of this month! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
My goodness, where did the week go? The month of October is gone!
It will be our Thanksgiving before you know it and in the blink of another eye, it will be Christmas and a New Year.
I guess we will celebrate making it to another Caturday and the weekend. Fall weather has arrived in Texas, at least for a few days.
I even saw a few people in long sleeves and long pants yesterday. At least the air conditioner has been off and it isn't cold enough in our house to turn the heater on yet.
It is more fun just to snuggle up together this time of year. Now go have a fun weekend and enjoy the new month.
Bennett, next door! He is such a good Big Brother!
Leo the Lion, our grandson, Will. All the staff & teachers from his High School still love him.
Josh and Will. Josh is his half brother and is 6'9". Will still has some growing to do to catch up to him.
Now Will is taller than Josh. He was trying the suit on and learning to walk in it.
It was so windy that the wind almost blew Will over. Josh has a Chewbacca costume that he has worn and won the costume prize before. This year Will hopes to win with Josh's help.
Isn't Josh a good Big Brother! Wish them luck tonight. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Wednesday and this is the last of the pictures from our weekend.
My grandson, Will, is most happy when he is eating! Isn't that a beautiful smile! Be sure to share your smile today too!
The thing that makes me happy is Hugs, especially when they are from Will. Now he really has to bend over to hug me. I wonder how much he has grown, again!
If you don't think so, just look at this picture. Pretty soon his feet will hang over the edge of the end of the couch.
Speaking of feet, those feet are built on solid rock not shifting sand. I am most proud of his relationship with Jesus. His love for God shines brightly for all to see!
I am also a proud Gram of all that Will is accomplishing in college and in his life as he loves to visit with everyone who crosses his path about Jesus!
There is nothing better than having fun every single minute we are together with family!!! Oh and the stories that are told around the table. Even the waiter laughed with us and enjoyed our time together. I hope you did too!
