Quick Update

Have had a couple of busy days - yesterday our phone rang all day and I had a large Stampin' Up! workshop to close out and enter plus received some other orders during the day. (Sale-A-Bration is still going on until 3/31) The painters were here. Once they came over and said "come quick, you have water running from upstairs to the basement floor". I grabbed a coat and ran outside and promptly fell on my right hand due to ice on the wood we're using to walk on over the mud. My hand is much better today. The water was a shower drain that wasn't installed all the way. The painters were cleaning the showers & tub for us so they could do a good job caulking and painting around them. Another time they came over and said "come look at your bedroom walls before we put on the last coat". They looked great. As of the end of the day yesterday they had all of the colors on.

Bill put in the screens we had covered with plastic so they could start staining our windows when ready (probably tomorrow, Thurs.). The wind was so bad here last night that the screens started blowing out - and away! Two were ruined. Bill chased them down and took the rest out and we got them inside. It was not the best day.

Today I was gone most of the day with Diane and Lacey north to Emmetsburg and Spencer for Lacey's dr. appointment and shopping - at the store that has anything you could need or want for St. Patrick's Day and/or the Irish (it's a BIG deal in Emmetsburg), Menard's, Walmart, Matt Furniture Store, the mall & Fairway (grocery). We also had lunch at one of my favorite places, Sum Hing.

Our electrician was here putting in outlets in the basement and will be here tomorrow installing light fixtures Bill says. Exciting! Chuck is coming tomorrow to get the wires into the Media Center which is going to be in the basement utility room and is a neat thing. Will have to explain more about it tomorrow.

Tonight I went to my first P.E.O. meeting and was installed as a member. Nice ceremony and nice group of women.
