Tuesday's Post---Pictures

Maybe I should change this to a post about home improvement. I hardly got outside yesterday. Early morning, afternoon and late evening. I worked upstairs getting everything in order for nine hours. I had it looking perfect. Elliot is ready to paint his room this week as he has this week off from work. So he relocated his room to William's old room and his dresser into the loft.
I thought you might like to see some pictures anyway.

This was how it looked yesterday when I started.

The empty loft

This morning when I went up there this is how it looks now.

That wall with all of the books back on the shelves. That poster is one that Emile made for William.

Odds and ends bookcase. I was getting tired and I was ready to stop.

Little kid books.

All of my Little House books are all finally together.

My Grandmother bought this set of books for me when I was born.

Shelves.

I took all of the silk flowers out that I had here. I washed all of the silk flowers and I am still debating if I want to put them back. Such a huge area to paint. Here is the ceiling that I couldn't even watch when they were painting it.

I noticed I left my water bottle up there and the I pod player. Ron made us a play list for painting. Since one of our favorite audio books is Treasure Island he called the playlist.  " Smart As Paint, Jim."

The view outside Elliot's window this morning.

Elliot's room

I hope Elliot's doesn't want to paint today. I will help though if he does. Peter wants to paint his room on Saturday. Then all that will be left will be the bathroom to finish up. Then we will move downstairs. Because its a two story there are so many angles. Once we get down stairs it shouldn't be as bad we just have more windows that will be a bear to paint. I guess this will be called what I did on my summer vacation.

This morning, as Ron was leaving he said, " Don't work! Just do something like sewing or something like that." Do you ever notice that or it is with me, once I get started working I can't stop. I need to vacuum and mop down stairs so we will see. The flower beds are calling my name. I can only stay inside for so long then I start going crazy. I do like the white though. It makes me so happy to see every thing so clean. Painting the trim around the stairs was so hard. I am not bendy like I used to be. I guess I need to do Pilates again.

Anyway, just a bit of home improvement. Thank you so much for stopping by today.

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.”
