At the end of the day

This is an old shot, from 2011...and while it isn't near this pretty out, it is the end of the day.
*****************
We have moved everything out of the one bedroom, and gotten it painted this day.  But we are not even starting to put anything back in.  We are both too tired to move.  I am so relieved to have things this far along.  The worst part is over with as far as I am concerned. 

I don't know about anyone else, but I am thankful for the angled paintbrushes.  We call them cutting in brushes.  I am not too picky...with this old house, it doesn't pay to be.  But the cutting in brushes are so much quicker to use, and actually better results than when I have taped things off.

Flower garden spider...

I have not looked for it today, but it has been out there for well over a week.  I am hoping it stays the rest of the year.

Nothing much accomplished today and I feel like I have not stopped.  We had to go to Walmart, then I had to get my hairs cut...and we ran to Menard's in Terre Haute and I did pick out paint for a bedroom.  That is such a chore for me to decide.  Hoping we can start on that tomorrow, but not sure we will.

I just finished up a load of clothes I brought in earlier.  They had been on the line for at least 2 or three hours and had not dried completely.  I just wanted them done.

Remember the look Bubbie was giving me in the picture yesterday.  Well, last night he ended up in our bedroom, and here he came and jumped up beside me...and would not let me stop petting him for quite a bit.  Then he snuggled in next to me as hard as he could and put his head on my arm/shoulder.   He is so plush, though, that  I cannot stand the heat he generates....so I eventually picked him up and carried him out. 

Bubbie....

He was as disgusted with me as he appears...he did not want to look at me.  And jumped up and walked away within a few seconds.  Any other time he would have demanded that I pet him.

Debating on joining one of the Random 5 things on Friday...may just try to come up with 5 but not join.

1.  Finally, got the desk ready to be taken out of the house, and I have carried the file cabinet out.  I got most things in a new home or else if possible, disposed of them one way or another.  Plus a few more things are gone.  Remember I said few.

2.  So, what is new?  Jeremy and Sarah will be moving back closer to us.  Probably within half an hours' drive.  Jeremy will be starting a new job nearby before the month is out.  Their house went on the market today.  If they don't find anything between now and then, they will stay with us till they do.  He was not actively looking for a job, but a friend said 'Hey, why don't you put in for this?'....he did and he got the job. 

3.   Sewing/quilting is on the back burner right now.  I have the desire but the body is weak.  Or lazy.  Sometimes it hard to tell the difference.

4. I am sitting here wondering what everyone else is reading while trying to remember some of my recent books.  I just finished one from the library:  Immigrant:  A Memoir Across the Atlantic by Sally Bennett.  While I don't regret reading it at all, it was not one that will stand out as a great book.  A book I really enjoyed much more than I expected was When I Married My Mother...by Jo Maeder.  It ended up being much better than I expected.  And I would not fuss if I had to read it again.  (Please feel free to tell me what you have been reading.)

5.  Fall is in the air!!!  You probably didn't need me to tell you that, but I so love this time of year.  I think I always have.

  And just so you know, I made a big pot of hamburger vegetable soup this morn, and I have ate more than enough for two or three people!  Well, maybe enough for two people.    I always wonder if I made things I love more often...maybe I would not eat as much.  I can at least hope it would change things.  With this pot, I will have enough to freeze for another day.

Roger don't mind soup every now and then, but would not want it 2 or 3 times a week.  I could about live on soups...I love my vegetable soup, potato soup, broccoli soup, chili....give me any one of those and I am a happy camper.
