A sad moment

It was one of those perfect weather days again. Nice and cool with lots of sunshine and a few of those white clouds that look so pretty against the blue sky.

I spent way too much time this morning playing around changing the template and colors on my walking blog. I couldn't seem to make up my mind which one to choose. I'd pick a template and then change all the colors around and then not like it and start all over again.

Since I did laundry yesterday, today I did the ironing - not a lot though, just Kenny's shirts.

In answer to your question Bonnie about my cleaning routine. I don't stick to this always but as a rule I do pretty good with it. I start on Monday cleaning upstairs - sheets get washed and I start cleaning the bathroom up stairs which is in the top corner of the house and work through the spare room, our bedroom, down the stairs, and each room till I end up in the downstairs bathroom in the opposite corner of the house. I don't usually finish it all in one day because I can get distracted pretty easily if something better comes along. But when I get back to it, I just continue where I left off and usually in a couple or three days everything gets done. Sometimes it takes me the whole week. Some other work like windows, kitchen cabinets, dusting the book shelves to name a few are special jobs that get done when I feel like it. This works for me and keeps the house pretty clean. It's not spotless but my house feels warm, cozy and happy! :-)

I ate my lunch outside on the front porch and then went out in the back yard to the part I call my little woods. If you look at the picture from yesterday it's the part on the other side of the split rail fence. I worked some more on picking up the dead branches and just straightening things up back there. Some stuff we will have to take to the landfill.

I sat out on the front porch late this afternoon and read for a little while waiting for Kenny to come home from work.

Good news about the cabinets at the town house. Julia said after some persuasion on her part, the builders said we would be able to change from the cherry to the oak cabinets. :-) We took a ride over to the town house to sign another paper and while we were there had some more good news - another unit was sold. Just two more to go and then they will start building ours.

Tonight we watched the second episode of Dexter. There are 3 shows on the disc, so we will watch those 3 and then go back to Roots. My snack tonight was chocolate chip cookies and milk.

I made a few weave-its tonight. I started another afghan with them a while ago and put it aside for a while to work on other things. If you want to know more about weave-its click here.
A little moment of sadness today as I remember my Daddy. Today is his birthday and he would have been 87 years old. He died in 1999 and I sure do miss him. I wasn't sad for long though because my dad brought me so many years of happiness that I can't help but smile when I think of him. I was so blessed to have him for a dad. He was one of those rare dad's who always had time for me. He is one of the reasons why Happyone is happy! :-) This is one of my favorite pictures of my dad. It was taken at the Jersey shore in the late 70's.
I hope your Wednesday was a good one.
