HOME IMPROVEMENTS

We are still in the middle of our home renovations.
We are in the master bedroom now John will start painting
tomorrow Friday.The rugs will be installed on Thursday of next week .
John will be glad that its coming to an end .Because he bought himself
a 1999 truck at autopak auction, it needs some work and he's anxious
to get started on it . Oh I forgot he won't be finished just yet
cause I want all new doors to the bedrooms ,bathroom ,closets in the hall.
The grand kids are asking if I will be doing some snow sculptures ,they keep expecting to see something when they they pull in the yard .
I guess I got to get my butt out there . I am still having trouble with my blog .
Seems that it won't let me download pictures anymore ,I wanted to post a group picture of all the grandkids together ,I will keep trying.

THE APPLES OF MY EYE

Here's a group picture of all my grand kids .
Madyson 9 holding her brother Jaxon 21 months .

shirt they are Kathryn and Joe's kids.Then there is Megan 8 in the middle back
her big brother Eric 12 in white in the front they are Laura and Laurier's kids.
the last two are Riley 11 in the blue shirt in front and his sister Breanne 9 at the back in the back and white dress and they are Shirley and Andre's kids .

Found My Blog

Hi I'm back ,I had lost my blog there for a while .
The home improvements are going slow.
Feels like I can't turn around, no its true
I can't turn around.There is so much clutter
and dust I don't know where to start.
We had so much trouble with the old paint in the
spare room .
I had just finish with the priming, when I saw a tiny spec
I scraped it and lifted the old paint.
I ended up peeling it all off ,with some great difficulty and varnish remover .
We must Carry on ,John is putting the laminate floor down today ,it will take him two days.And the paint color I chose for the spare room is pretty much the same color that I chose for the computer room despite having gone to different stores.I was at our Canadian Tire and decided to buy Debbie Travis paint for the spare room .So when I put the paint sample against the painted walls there is not much difference . Besides I've had trouble before in that spare room everytime I paint .I don't know why ?????Waiting to see how John is going to do with the floor .
Meanwhile Shirley and Andre with Laura and Laurier went to Mexico for a week with the kids .I 'm sure the kids are having a blast thinking and missing them alot .

THE NEXT HANNAH MONTANAS

Shirley & Andre's daughter Breanne 9 in the middle in the black and white dress .
Laura & Laurier's daughter Megan 8 on the left.
Kathryn & Joe's daughter 8 on the right.
The dads Andre and Joe are brothers,and Laurier is a first cousin.
So the girls have a resemblance, if you notice.
These girls are very close to each other.
Breanne and Megan play ringette and Madyson
likes gymnastic.

WHILE WE WEREN'T LOOKING

While we weren't looking, Jaxon had climbed
a chair and enjoying a taste of blueberry pie that was for dessert.
I guess he just couldn't wait .

HI 5 SANTA

Jaxon giving santa a big
thank you to santa and a hi 5

Hi there, I'm trying so hard to get to blog .I finally got an image through.I've tried many I think its a computer cliche.Today is my day off and I started some badly needed home improvements. I started in the computer room by tearing down the wall paper. We will be painting the bedrooms and putting down laminate flooring in this room and the spare room .Rugs in the master bedroom and hallway .I sure don't like all the disruption,furniture all over the place.Tomorrow I will go looking for paint samples. Meanwhile I will carry on learning more about blogging .

WHEN SANTA CAME TO TOWN

THIS IS JAXON MY YOUNGEST GRANDCHILD HE IS 20 MONTHS.
HE STILL DIDN'T KNOW QUITE WHAT TO THINK OF THIS
MAN IN A RED SUIT.

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas Eve was a fun night of
games and charades and opening gifts.It was so much fun
to watch their faces light up.

A New Year And A New Start

Happy New Year everyone, my New Years resolution is to get this blog up and going.I have been thinking on this to much and I have just decided to just do it.My life is pleasantly boring .One day just rolls into the next and seem the same .Get up clean house then go to work,I work at a center for the mentally challenged.I have been there for 26 years working from 3:30 to 11:45.I could have been on days a long time ago,my answer to that is when would I have time to garden.Gardening is my favorite past time ,there is so much beauty and wonder in a bud that opens up to a multi colored flower.Come summer you will all get very bored of my postings.Its getting late, and I need my beauty sleep. Good Night All .
