Oh, how nice Kay....and what a huge job! Do you expect them to be done painting the house and trim today? I hope the colors are everything you hope they'll be.
Realistically, I expect it will take most of the week Cheryl. The body of the house will be a dark grey with a tint of blue, the trim and porch rails will be pale grey. The front door with the pretty oval lead beveled glass window will be a beautiful high gloss deep red.
I made from-scratch pierogies today! First time ever. It took me a while to figure out how to work with a dough that wasn't a pie crust, but once I got the hang of it, not so bad! The ones in the upper-left of the tray were the first (and look it), while the ones on the right side of the tray were my improved versions towards the end. Unlike when I used packaged won ton wrappers to make pot stickers, I'll definitely make pierogies again. Just not until after the holidays. Here are the "before" and "after" pictures. BTW, I made 26 pieces - we have about 10 left.
Kayelle, those sound like lovely color combinations. One big green wreath or spray on the front door and you will look very Christmas-y!Realistically, I expect it will take most of the week Cheryl.

Decorating for Christmas here today too, and getting into the swing of things by listening to my Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas CD. I'm surprised I haven't worn that CD out over the years! This one is my fave - the Charlie Brown Christmas Dance.
I'll be getting my tree tomorrow - moving a few things around today to make a space for it.

I am getting ready to head for bed to see if I can get a few hours sleep. TB is taking me in the morning to the hospital where my orthopedic surgeon works out of to see if we can get him to see me quicker than a referral from my GP.
My leg is just as bad as it was in the months before my surgery (some of you will remember than, it was 7 years ago, just a year or so after I started here).
I am really not looking forward to going through the ER, but we have to rule out two major possibilities, both of which I have had before - a blood clot or the plastic plate from the replacement has slipped. Hopefully it will be neither of these but we need to be safe.
The good news though is that I will be able to get a lot of reading done sitting in the ER waiting!
Hope all went well for you in the ER, LP. Sending good thoughts your way....My leg is just as bad as it was in the months before my surgery (some of you will remember than, it was 7 years ago, just a year or so after I started here)...
I was wondering if there is a way to save our land line phone. My DH dropped it in a bucket of water for just a few seconds. Does anyone have any ideas?
