Flooring shopping.... take two !

Earlier in the week, I was told to meet the tile guy at the local home depot. ( we had done this already once alone and once with him) . But this is only the 2nd time that we have loaded up the carts with the goods. Jesse would much rather run the store, of course it is quite an interesting store, but I have to be able to concentrate a little. 

Being bored

Finished carts


Just over an hour later, it was much quicker this time since we had already picked out the tile colors and sizes, we have a new quote, just about $300 more than the original one( this one have the hardibacker board). So we need to modify this prayer to include that this time it is paid for and this project can begin.

On the side note tonight, please pray for my adult children's family, God knows all the details. Also that the cost of the laundromat can be worked into our budget since the belt on the washer burnt out last night. God knows the struggles that we are facing, and I am continues to be blessed daily. Tomorrow- Thursday November 6th, I am planning to try to do some painting around the house,930am-12pm if anyone would like to help, please text or call me. 716-939-0837

Paint party. Sucess!!

Another work day has come to an end. Special thanks to all the crew that came out today; the Fesmire family, Jesse, Jeremy, Andrea, Domonia, Ken, Scott, Tammy, Donna, Alissa, John, Chris, Dave, Claudia, Dan, Milo & the girls, Richard, Bud, Regis, and George. ( oh i hope i didn't miss anyone) Thanks to Lumber City Pizza for the wonderful lunch too!

Jeremy, Andrea, & Domonia

The plan as of yesterday was to get the back all primed the rest of the way, & to paint ALL the ceilings. Well, that was almost done before 10 am. It was then that the decision was made to take a ride to Valu, in North Tonawanda, to pick up the paint. When I had first picked a paint color it was with the help of Amy, & Ace Hardware, the color was "swiss coffee", that color is just like I like my coffee, really light. Well, at Valu they were not able to look it up on the computer, so we grabbed the color chart off the wall, and started putting dots of the "swiss coffee" sample on the chart in several areas, the one that matched perfectly is called "lambswool white", for me that was a little reminder that this is God's house, and that I will keep following him. (I called myself a dumb sheep being reminding to follow his shepherd!)

Teachable moments

So many blessings today. The moments of chatting, the shared snacks & lunch, the information exchange, the reassurance that things are on track now, the hugs, and the great friends support.  

UPDATE !!! Just recieved a text... first coat of the paint is completely done in all areas of the house!!!!!!! Yeah! So exciting!!
