Carpet Day!

After many months of waiting it's finally carpet day. Bathroom project was first so all the plumbing in the basement could be finished before the new carpet went in. I hope it all comes together well. Anxious to see some of my furniture from my house in PA down there. It will be a major difference for the men of the house. I just hope Scottie and the boys can keep it tidy once completed. We worked until 10:00. PM last night getting it all ready. I will be so glad when all these renovation projects are completed so we can relax a little. It's been a long year of painting, painting,and more painting. Between this house and my house in PA it seems that's all I've done.

It's a rainy fall day. They are calling for rain all week. Hope my leaves don't come down with the rain before the weekend. I'm looking forward to getting away with my wonderful hubby to see the beautiful fall colors. (c: I must figure out where we are going today. I know so little about NY, especially western NY. On the eastern side of the state between Albany and Vermont would be a good place to start, but with a short weekend that is not on the agenda. I will share more after our trip.

Well eldest granddaughter is no longer upset over losing her phone for the night. She is such a beautiful 16 year old ... but how I remember those teenage years with her mom. I tell her it will get better, but she is not sure I'm right. And I smile ... I thought the same way at that age. Two birthdays coming up in early October. Zane will be 10 and Kaiya will turn 13. Another teenager! Eldest son, her father, says she has acted like a teenager for the last year. Mmm ... another house working through the teenage years. Just wait until the second daughter becomes a teenager too. Then he will have 2. And again I smile ...

After all the hard work yesterday ... my knees and back are hurting ... I'm taking it easy today. I had to double up on my Celebrex last night ... and iced them before bed. Feeling better this morning. I never know if that will help or not. Some days I am ready for knee replacement ... others no. I know that will not help my back ... at least I don't think so. Maybe I walk differently and throw my back out. Who knows ... so today while they work on the carpet, I will take a step back in time and read a little. Ahh, life is good!
