Anna!







Also a serious for the Queen's Day Celebrations pic share...great!

Ok...just rest a spell...and I'll give you something you've asked to see...

One end of living room...before paint & repair:


After:


The other end after paint & repair:

My kitchen floor...neked to the concrete...with 2 strips of new flooring laid out:


One view of kitchen after flooring in:


Another:

No before pics of the deck...trust me...it was rotting out on both ends.
A very sentimental spot for me, because Bob's middle brother, Tom, built it.
Tom passed away in 2001 & it holds so many precious memories of him.

Brian sawed away about 1' 8" from each end...moved all support posts in that far...so there's a nice overhang eave on each end...added 2 new support posts & new deck pieces to a few boards.

From East end now...still need to apply new stain:


From East end just after repair:


From West end now...and the plant I picked up that almost did me in:


It is called a Prayer Lily...and boy, oh boy...did I ever need them after trying to move it!

Some of my volunteers & new friends:

Sweet Kathy...one heck of a painter...in the medical field, and Brian the team leader & policeman's wife:


Brian (carpenter/policeman) on right...my feller, 74 year old Jack of all trades & wall repairman, Bill on left.


Ralph, another Jack of all trades & my techie on left...Les, can also do it all & was our laugh a sec jokester every day:


Everything is new in the front bath...except tub & shower tile...too small an area to get any good pics...but I love it all!

I am amazed at the wonderful things this program, "Great Days of Service", accomplishes each year.
The church's blessings & donations, the volunteers sharing their time & abilities, the blessings & friendships gained...mere words can not describe the love shown & shared all around.

This was their 11th year & they do from 20 to 35 homes each year.

Mornin you two ladies and great start to the day Scott its raining here this morning but hoping it will clear up......and yes it it very hard to find the green little bird in the blossoms of the apple tree...there was two but only managed to capture one...heh heh if you can find him as I know where he is

Great picture of your new hair dew Jean looks great and you took off 15 years as long hair makes us all look old Also lovely plants and flowers they brighten up any home or porch also love what you got done to your house

Great pictures of the open market as we call it here in Canada Anna we have one thats only open on the weekends here and you get so many bargins and if your into old stuff or antiques the perfect place to buy them

Ready with dinner............

Hi Judy, a open market is also great. I thought maybe you have also a special day in the year to sell, like a garage sell or so ( we don`t have that) , but every weekend is great. We have a second hand store, half the money is for a good goal. But most of the prices are to high, I think.

Jean, what a work did they do eh....and you too. Everything out of the way, what a work. I google the color you said, a few weeks back. It looks sure great in the living room. What a different floor in the kitchen, also great, love wood. But I want to have a deck like you, it is so romantic. You have real chairs outside and garden chairs. Whow, Ruud did make a deck on paper for me. The pity thing is....we don`t have enough good weather to sit outside and the view is bad, another house to close to ours. It is so clever they really know what to do at your deck. Your deck is perfect. Congratulations Jean and thank you neighbor-friend of you for giving you up.


That reminds me of the pict. from Brigitte`s house.
