"The Coffee Shop" #5

Help Betty paint? Believe it or not, I actually tackled my fear of painting Saturday morning. I am not done, but I got the entry way and one long wall going to the kitchen completed. That is some hard work. But it sure makes the place look nicer. I had wall paper on the lower half of the wall, but wallpaper doesn't stick in my climate, so I pealed it off.

Let me tell you...wall paper peeled off really wrecks walls. Here where I live they texturize the interior walls. Anyway...the paint reminds me of what the house looked like when it was new. Now if I could just get this ugly carpet replaced.

Blackbird...I think you should look into leasing the adjoining building to the coffee shop...Your "little business" looks to take over the place. And I don't know about everone else...but motor oil and tractor parts are not conducive to restful coffee drinking. Or is my female nose just too sensitive?

Sherrie,
I don't know what your going through, but I am praying and lifting you up to the Lord. May He give you the comfort only He can provide! You can PM me anytime!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ED & BETTY! May God bless you on this very special day and may He bless you with many more. (Even if it is in months)

Thank you to those who are praying for us and our church!

I've been praying for you as you have for me. We've just got to be patient and trust in the Lord for him to take care of it.

Hello everyone!!

We had a busy time this weekend. We (mostly my wife) decided that we needed to get a new couch for the living room. The one we have was given to us by my mother-in-law a few years ago when they got a new one. So we looked several places Saturday and finally found one we liked. We ended up getting the matching loveseat and a new coffee table and end table also. Hopefully that will keep my wife happy for a while. They should be delivered sometime this week. After that we cleaned the house and did laundry which took up pretty much all the remaining time this weekend.

Sherrie, I tried to email you but I got a message back saying that it timed out and wasn't delivered. Have you been having problems with it? If not, it may be on my end. It has seemed like our junk email messages have slowed down recently. I did finally get the email you sent yesterday. I haven't had time to study the picture closely yet, but I saw 6 of them at first glance.

rsr, glad you had time to stop by. I hope eveything is going well in your area of Oklahoma.

hmm....ok then, i don't have to accept blackbirds tractor parts do i?

 

Sherrie...do we have any need for a coffee shop singer? I know just the person to do it if we do

 

Sherrie, we did go to Wal-Mart and pick out new curtain panels for the windows to match the new furniture. My wife also called me on my lunch break to tell me she bought a new lamp shade for the lamp in the living room. Do you think I'm in trouble now. The good news is the washer is only a few months old and the dryer is only 1-2 years old so hopefully they will last a while. The house is only 4 ½ years old so hopefully there won't be too many more changes.

 

I forgot to add on our anniversary (June 28) we will have been married 6 years. So I still have a lot to learn. Are you saying this is a never ending process of replacing older things with newer things??? She will have to stop at least for a while. After this large purchase we can't afford to buy anything else for a while.

I did ask her if the bedroom was next. (Probably wasn't a very smart thing to do looking back ) She said that she was happy with it (at least for now) and had no plans to change it. The only thing in the living room we didn't change was the TV cabinet. If it doesn't match when the new things get here I am sure we will start looking to replace it also.

 

Had a fairly decent day in Paducah. Now I am on my way to Memphis to find out more about the car I'm wanting to buy. I did a check at carfax.com, and I liked most of what I saw. But I am concerned about how someone could put 90,000 miles on a car in three years.

I have two more interviews for teaching positions in Arkansas on Friday, so things might be looking up for me job-wise for a change

 

Rod, I'm trying to give my dining room table and chairs to our son so I can have a new one. It seems he doesn't need it. I just can't seem to find an excuse to buy a new one, other than I WANT one.

Just as soon as son moves into his condo, I am moving furniture around from room to room. Ed just told me he will have to work late that week.
(He doesn't even know what week it is) But I have three grandsons that will help me.

Actually, Ed better get involved to protect his valuable collections of old record albums and all those books he has and then there is some sort of electronic stuff I can't seem to find a use for.

Then there is a shelf full of computer programs, games, etc. I don't ever see anyone using them.

I had better be careful because I just saw some kind of list of things that he thought I didn't need. oops....

He actually thinks I should clean out my closet of clothes.
