Painted and moved!!!!

I hate painting. My dad was a painter for many years and I think has glossy latex paint for blood but the gene did not pass to me. We painted three bedrooms, the living room, landing, and kitchen. Of all the spaces, only Amy's room really worked. Our room it too blue. They boys room it too yellow and that same overly yellow paint was so bad in the living room, landing and kitchen that we had to buy another color and repaint. Sue wants to repaint our room, the bathroom and the basement as well as touch up all the other rooms. She can do it while I am at work.

Friday afternoon with the painting completed we began the move. The apartment is mostly empty now except the endless odds and ends that are everywhere. Nothing big, just stuff that defies classification and is laying all over the apartment now. I will be so glad to say good-bye to the three flights of stairs. It took forever to load and mere minutes to unload. The big stuff from the storage unit was brought over on Saturday and we all slept in the new house Saturday night.

Sunday, after church we got the house put together enough to have our Sunday roast. Ah, to be back in a home. All the kids are thrilled. They love playing in their rooms and no one has to wait for a bathroom.

We still have the heating situation to work out. The house is warm upstairs but cool on the main floor and cold in the basement. I will have to do some dampering in the duct-work.

Hopefully, this week we will get the DISH working and have internet back too.

On another note: I am still morning the loss of my childhood home. It is now owned by another. I feel sad that 485-8848 is now gone. That was "my" phone number for 40 years. I still have dreams that take place in that house. It was a good home. Mom and Dad are better off in the condo though.
