Old Pic, Carpet, Spread, Violets

Been SLOWLY working

at getting things done at

the new house....and the 

old house.

While doing that I pulled

this out of a box that left

mom's house to mine and

then back here again.

Mom had it on the wall

I however took it out of the

frame to put away. 

The young one sitting

on my lap is Braden. He

turned 9 in Sept. So this

was taken some time ago.

That is Caleb (19) sitting

by me. My daughter and 

DJ in her lap.

Today Amber, Caleb,

DJ and Braden came

to help at the old house.

I still had stuff in the bedrooms

but getting boxes down the stairs

was really hard on me so the boys

took it all down for me. Its all

in the living room. MAYBE

soon I will get it to the other

house. 

Anyway, Amber got in 

my room and even though

I told her to cut the carpet

in manageable sizes, to 

make taking it to the

trash later this week....

BUT NO....she went

right in and ripped it

up 

and out the window it 

went. 

Two bedrooms done!

After getting it all out

she worked on getting

staples out of the floor

while DJ, Caleb and 

I worked on getting the 

tack strips up. 

Handyman is going 

to start painting 

tomorrow. I am not

having every room 

done but the kitchen, 

bathroom, one bedroom

and hall. Those need it 

the worst. 

Several years ago my

mom bought me this 

spread set. I never used

it cause I told her I would

once I had my floors 

done and my room painted.

Well, today I decided it 

was time to put it out.

Wild violets are so pretty. 

Did you know you could

make jelly out of these?

I had NO CLUE till a

friend posted on FB 

that she was going to 

do it. 

I looked it up.

Bet it is really good.
