During all this chaos, I came down with a cold. I haven't had one for a long time, pretty much staying away from those germs, but guess I;ve just been around too many people lately that have had colds. Missed class yesterday and probably will not go tomorrow either. It's hard to do much when the house is in such a mess.
We'll be running out of food before long since we didn't do any shopping this week. May have to eat out, oh darn. But in all this chaos, I did get the taxes finalized. I had them mostly done but needed to do through them once more. Luckily this year we don;t have to pay much, guess that 's because we're retired and don't make much money anymore.
Have a great day!

Well this week will be very interesting. Bob is going to start on the floor today having done the back splashes on Saturday. He doesn't have the grout in yet but that probably won't take long once he does the floor. Looks cool! We probably won't be able to do much in the kitchen once he starts on the floor so we'll go to Sue's house to eat. We have to go and take care of the kitties anyway so will take our leftover pasta and eat there so we can use her microwave and stove.
I'm hoping he'll have the floor on the way in a couple of days so we can get the house back in some kind of order. Right now it's pretty messy. Haven't had this much of a mess since we moved in.
Well our Badgers won the Big Ten tournament and are on their way to the NCAA. Hope they do well there. Go Badgers
Will let you know how the kitchen goes tomorrow.
Bob called early and will be here this aft. to put in the tile for back splashes. So i need to get busy and get the counters cleaned off for him.
The weather has turned rainy and chilly but it makes the flowers grow. Sue will have daffodils in a couple of days. She's in Ohio and won't be able to enjoy them but we will when we take care of the kitties.
Big Ten Tournament is starting today so hope you are all routing for Wisconsin.
Have a great day

Went to a Homeowner's meeting last eveing for our Subdivision. We haven't attended many of the meetings but there are a few issues with our sub that we thought it might be interesting to go. At the moment there is the President of the Homeowners, and no board members so Phil may put his name in the mix. One of the issues is that all of us have been assessed over $1,000 due to the fact that the City of Eagle bought our current water company ( which was privately owned) and now needs to make 7 million dollars of improvements so we are supposed to pay folr it. There is a meeting next week that we all need to attend to find out the real skinny.
Weather is getting nicer, and theres so much to do outside. But I have to take things slow pretty much doing one project a day and then resting. Would like to see the kitchen done so I could get things back in order. They are still working on the house next door - we had one of the Subs make us a long, low table to put in front of the windows for magazines and plants. Looks really nice with the pineapple plantation there.
Have a good day everyone.

It's raining again today, but the club is having practice. They are getting ready with their drill for the Horse Expo in April and can't afford to not practice. This is the first time with horses and they have to get the big guys back in the saddle of drilling after a winter off. Razi and I are staying in where it's warm and dry. This rainy weather makes every bone in my body ache. It's supposed to clear up this afternoon but we will be watching the last Wisconsin game. If they win, they will have the Big Ten Conferencer title all to themselves. We've become those crazy Wisconsin fans that you see on TV.
My kitchen now has the sink and faucet hooked up so we can do dishes there nstead of the laundry sink. It appears that it might be a week yet before Bob rips out the floor to put down the Travertine. He still has one more project to finish and then he can concentrate on ours before he takes his 2 week medical leave from work. I would be most happy if he could install the back splashes and the floor could wait if needed. We are getting used to granite countertops, they still look cool. When the back splashes are in we'll take more pictures to show you.
I need to concentrate on doing taxes the next few weeks. I always put it off until March, because I hate doing them. Oh well, they will get done in due time.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.

Went back to the Y water class today and I'm sore now but expected to be. The class said they missed me, it's the first class I've missed since starting in Sept. I was glad I went. Morgan, one of the teachers, had a baby about 4 weeks ago and she brought Braden in to see us. He's a doll, of course. I don't think Morgan has MS but she helps the other teacher, Sharon with the class. Sharon does have MS.
Today when I was watering my plants, I discovered a pineapple on our one pineapple plant. We've been growing them for about 3 years, since we went to Hawaii the first time. What a surprise! It's cool, but i don't know if it'll ever get big enough to be a real pineapple. Right now, it's tiny and has lovely purple blossoms on it. We just had a table made for our plants in the great room so we can show off the pineapple.
Phil and Linda went riding horses today for the first time this year. The weather is actually getting warm and the grass is getting green. Sue's crocuses are out and the daffodils will be out by Easter.
That's all for now. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Yesterday we took a ride over to Meridian, to see a house that our tile installer, Bob, was doing. He was putting in the same tile we have picked out for the floor and backsplashes. I think he wanted us to see the kind of job he does. He keeps telling us that we will get the best when we have him put in our tile. I guess it's good to be that confident. On the other hand, we can see that he will do a great job, but it looks like it will have to wait until he gets two other jobs done. At the end of the month he will be out for two weeks with health issues so it may not get done before that. If he just gets the sink put back together, we'll be happy.
Feel pretty achy from not going to the Y water class but if I had gone, I would feel that way too. So it's a catch 22. Hope to go back tomorrow .
Hope everything is fine with you.
