Month: August 2020

I was just scrolling through pictures and saw the one of your moving day. I miss you.

Wishing you well and warm thoughts.

After a very busy couple of weeks with work and construction, I finally got a few minutes to just try and catch up. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. I’m hoping you are feeling well and finding some joy in life.

I can’t help but feel that this home project of mine would have been more fun with you. I always was a dreamer… now its time to be a do-er.

Things have changed quite a bit with the plans. It started with a simple addition – a bedroom for dad – and just keeps growing. We expanded the addition to include more living area beyond the bedroom and bathroom. Then Dad insisted he needed a kitchenette, so I’m remodeling my old kitchen for him and installing a new kitchen in what was my laundry room and office.

The office moved downstairs, but not before we flooded (heavy rain before the addition was water tight) and had to rip out all the carpet and drywall. So, new walls are up. I might wait to install the floor until winter (it is outside my budget plan).

Meanwhile, the new kitchen cabinets should arrive in this month and I have some landscaping to do. The boys helped my remove three more trees outback and the branch pile will take weeks of dump trips.

And, as long as I’m at it, I’m having the windows and doors replaced and the house sided. It just seemed like it was the right time after replacing the roof last week (missed with a tree! lol).

The only thing that remains original is the calla lilies lamp globes in my bedroom. Every time I look up and see them, I think of you and smile.

Wishing you well, much love.
