My Dining Room!

The last two weeks Tinkerbell has been hiding upstairs under a chase while the construction guys were here working. I managed to snap a quick picture of her after she realized we were alone again.

What she did not know at the time I took this that my daughter's dog Toby was on his way here for me to baby sit him. So now poor Tinkerbell is back under the chase upstairs. lol

Every day I thought of you and wanted to do a post but with everything going on here I have crawled to bed exhausted and unable to concentrate long enough to write.

In all honesty these two weeks have been very hard on me and am so glad their over.

Here I am sharing the dining room that I had painted yellow. The ceiling was damaged before the new roof was put on last summer so I was excited that my landlady agreed to spend the money on this room.

 It is a pretty yellow and I will enjoy having a brighter dining room. If you look at the pictures you will see that they did not paint the ugly dark green trim around the two windows. Now tell me have you ever heard of such a thing as leaving the windows unpainted. I ask them if they were going to do the windows and they told me that their boss said no because he had already spent too many days out here and was not making enough on this job.

I am of course furious because I know that I will be the one painting the windows and I hate painting windows. I am still painting the picket fence around the house and with all the rain we have been having I have also started mowing again which leaves me little time for anything else

 The clean up was horrible because the painters scraped the ceiling and the walls for three days. Each day I used a shop vac trying to keep the mess contained to this area but with the guys working in two rooms it was useless.

After days of mopping I have finally started moving some of my pieces back into the room. Problem is I don't know right now how I want to arrange the furniture.

Up til a few months ago this room has been an extra bedroom but I hated coming out of my tiny kitchen into a bedroom so I moved the bed to the back room but of course that room is full and unless I get rid of some furniture I can't move the two amoire's that go with the bed. These pieces are so big and heavy that for right now I will have to leave them where they are until my sons visit.

It's a shame that they waited so long to do these repairs because it won't be long and I should be moving to Georgetown.  The first few months I will be coming back out here until I make up my mind if I really want the job in Georgetown.

As you can tell by my writing that I am too tired to even write this without rambling.

I was actually surprised when I realized how long it had been since my last post.  I keep hoping that I might be better at blogging but it seems I am getting worse.

This weekend I hope to take some time and visit with you. Christi left Toby with me for two days while she meets Paul's family. So Toby will be getting a lot of my attention and I will be trying to convince Tinkerbell that she doesn't have to spend the whole weekend hiding out.

Take care of you and as always I love it when you come by for a visit.

Love to All
