Sunday
Mother-daughter fun afternoon outing to see the last performance of "Bad Seed" at the Marion Civic Theatre. (Is she really that much taller than me?)

Tuesday
With some help from the instructor I finished a painting in one session. When I get back in a couple weeks we have a 'test' to see if we can do these flowers on our own.
Wednesday
Mike started playing Words With Friends this week and makes a big deal of every time he'swinning. However, I don't think he will have a 99 pointer again any time soon!
Thursday
I babysat for youngest nieto (grandson) for a little while. We have a lot of fun. He likes to run into my arms, go back and do it all over again. I've never let the game go on as long as he would want it to!

Friday
As you have probably surmised, the happy Meemaw Moments above are the relaxing fun interludes amidst all the work. A busy week especially for Mike, maybe that is why I have no photo of him. He's been gone most of the time, but his job (installing the heating system) is as done as it can be without water and electricity.
The house is closed up now and can be locked. Tomorrow a crew will begin to hang drywall.
Meanwhile, I have been puzzling over a color palette. It is overwhelming, there are hundreds of hues.

After several rainy days, we've had a couple beautiful sunny ones.

So glad you could find time to have those happy, relaxing moments despite the busyness. House is looking great! Choosing pain colors, etc. is BY FAR the hardest part, isn't it?! But YOUR painting is just gorgeous!! I could never do that!!
ReplyDeleteThe state of MY household?! Don't ask. "Squalor" is how I described it to a friend recently. :)
I love seeing how the house is coming along. your painting looks fabulous! so talented!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take Lori's squalor & add a helping of dishevelment :)
ReplyDeleteLeah's wearing heels - that's why she's so much taller (yeah right).
The house is looking great! I think you should make sure at least one room will match your lovely painting :)
