Just when our lives were settling down, we found a way to upset the apple cart. We have toyed with having the floors refinished for quite some time, and so we called a local business to come out today to give us an estimate. Of course we, like everyone else, want the work completed before Christmas……but he said he could do the work next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
In the meantime, Ken has to tear up the old kitchen vinyl and subfloor, and of course the living room, dining room and hallway have to be emptied. So I spent the better part of the afternoon stashing china and stemware in every possible nook and cranny with most of it going on the shelves in the guest room closet. Oh yes, and the pantry, which is chuck-a-block, had to have everything on the floor moved. The kitchen serving cart is in the bathroom, and the bathtub is stacked full of storage drawers that contain everything from paper plates to beans and rice.
I am going to Spokane tomorrow, and Ken and Cooper will have to move out to the motor home next Tuesday because with the floor plan of this house, there is no place for them to go in here once the floors are in progress. I think I am glad I will be gone.
Well this week’s election truly did give the Republicans a thumping as President Bush called it. I won’t speculate on any of it, but it would seem that the electorate wants something done to bring a closure to Iraq. The stock market hit another record high on Tuesday so I suggested to Ken we stash our investments in our mattress for a while until we see what happens post-election!!
Cinda has tomorrow off since it is Veterans’ Day so she is going to ride to Spokane with me. It will be a great chance for us to visit non-stop for about five or six hours. I’m hoping the weather holds with just some wind and rain predicted.
Lois sent a card to me this week with the following verse that I find hilariously funny every time I read it (actually, I can just recite it at will by now because I have read it so often). She sent it to say she can’t wait for my visit this week end. It makes me laugh out loud every time:
Stroke the air waves, pull up the tulips,
Break out the well-digger’s rod…..
We’re gonna yodel tonight
It is from a line of cards called Pondering Pool whose creator is Susan Mrosek. She is my latest heroine.
Well, my jaunt to Spokane doesn’t qualify as a true peregrination, but it is sufficient for me at the moment.
Ciao
