I am doing ok. Right now, there is a very happy couple moving into my Dad's house. I am very pleased about it. It's a great thing! Even though I know that it's no longer *my* house, I am glad someone will be making it *theirs*. It's exciting! I think the house will be happy. For the 9 years that my Dad occupied it alone (after Mom died), it was a very quiet place. And now there will be happy times in it and this couple is thrilled to own it.
My realtor told me that the buyers bought their *dream house*. Here is a picture of it...the buyers painted it baby blue, originally it was white:
I think that's funny, because the house is not a mansion, it's a craftsman style home. I remember those feelings. They were wonderful, full of the future and potential. This couple told the realtor that they feel that they can now really begin their life.
Today, I am covered in spring green paint, I am painting my bathroom. Talk about new beginnings. My DH doesn't like the color but too bad. It's a happy color and I really like it. Stitching will commence tomorrow between cramming my audit prep that begins Monday. I am going to begin *A Quaker Spool Holder*. Tonight, we are going to see The Sentinel. David and I have decided to reinstitute our weekly *date*. Aren't we just too funny!
SO...back to painting. Happy Saturday!!!

Joanie,
Your Dad's house looks a lot like mine! And ours is a light blue also. We have been very happy here for the last 18 years...
I need to do some touching up to a few rooms here, too. The kitchen could use a new coat of paint, and I would like to paint the upstairs bath white.
Have fun on your 'date', and enjoy your new stitching project!
Hugs and stitches...
Hi Joanie--looking forward to seeing your work on the spool holder. I am already frogging. I started too far over--I gave it 2", and that would have run it off the right edge. Ugh. So I am starting again. At least I hadn't gotten too far!
