Just in case you were interested.

I finished painting the living room today! I am soooooooo tired and cranky but the house looks refreshed.

The color, when dry and having all the walls the same color, now looks more of a light toast than butterscotch. It softens the wood furniture and wood trim as opposed to making them stand out. With the price of furniture, I'll be living with my early American/country oak tables and entertainment unit for a long time!

Now on to placing the two tiles in the foyer. DH got the tiles cut at his brothers and I'll install them tomorrow. Then all I have to do is wait for my new carpeting.

It's the weekend of the 4th. We've no plans and I'm hoping my pool warms up a bit. This time last year I had been in it for a month. I may stick my toes in tomorrow, but gee it's cold!

Have a great weekend all.

    I am both interested and impressed! You might just nudge me into action. I'm waiting for the brick mason to call (he was going to in late June, but so far, not). If I don't hear from him by next Wednesday, I'll be calling him again. But first, we have to get through the Holiday weekend.

    I am always happy to see you have posted. I'm always interested in what you have to say. I bet the house looks great!

    I love oak furniture. I have oak, pine, and mostly maple that I inherited. I will have it until I die. I have always had hand-me downs. I am satisfied as I don't like dark furniture, don't like painted furniture. don't like modern furniture. Don't like the cheap furniture they sell today.

    No plans for the holiday for us either. Hubby's labs are worsening. His immunity is worse. His oncologist is out of the country for a month. Sooooooooooooooo what can I say.

      Doing nothing is fine with me. Big hugs for you and Benny.

      Thanks, GF, for the hug. Sometimes a hug is more than enough.

    Glad that your painting is finished. PHEW. Sounds like a pretty color.

    Hope that the pool warms up!

 I know, I know. I'm getting slow at posting trip info. As a matter of fact, I haven't printed my photo books from my 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 trips. I've a photo book from every trip taken since 2002. Sometimes twice a year if we made smaller trips. My priorities have changed, I guess.  Well, now...our first stops. Americana in Bedford PA. once made the list as the world's biggest coffee pot. The handle is on the other side. My SIL and BIL as models. We traveled to Jeffersonville, Indiana in search of other oddities.  The Colgate Clock is one of the largest clocks in the world. It works. We visited  Schimpff's Confectionery,  since 1891,  one of the oldest, continuously operated, family-owned candy businesses in the United States. It was exactly as advertised. Best chocolate I've ever had! The Big Four Bridge is a local favorite as a walkway to Louisville Kentucky. We enjoyed it at night after a nice dinner on the river in Jeffersonville. My favorite in Indi...

 How am I, you may wonder. Pretty good! I am still following the diet prescribed by the MDs and dietician and only adding a thing or two back in weekly. I have discovered a lot of other things about my food and myself. I don't need all the ........(insert something here). Just because the label states the whole can of tuna is one serving, doesn't mean I have to eat the whole can; 1/3 does nicely.  The slice of farmhouse bread, toasted, is just fine cut in half instead of using two slices.  Pickles taste the same even when the peels are removed. I am living without a lot of cheese, my previous staple. Living without second helpings as well.  Eventually I will be able to exchange all this 'white food' for higher fiber veggies and grains. The result is I've lost 11 pounds since the end of January. I don't feel deprived.  Huh.

 Dear Diary, Missed you! I've not been of a mind to post anything. I purchased several of the books OKM was reading as we have similar tastes. I dove into the Fast. Feast. Repeat. book and read it from cover to cover. It was a better read for me than Bright Line Eating, I feel both authors put too much personality in them. I'm a more scientific approach, give me the facts, girl. To me Thompson comes on a bit haughty, Stephens' writing puts me in a 6th grade classroom. Sigh. I've gotten over myself. Just when I hit my 2 week attempt at IF, I spent multiple weeks in the throes of diverticulitis with a few days R&R in the hospital. I called them my spa days. Didn't have to care for DH and didn't care that I couldn't. The only thing missing was a mud pack and a massage. Their kitchen choices were not up to my standards even on a clear liquid diet. My martini was missing. Morphine is nice. I've never been cursed with this before, I've considered my di...
