Before, No After...Yet

  First of all,  I have lived in this house 19 years.  That is officially the longest i have lived anywhere, ever in 63 years. I guess that meant that I never lived anywhwere long enough  to change what I had done.  I might have repainted but never had to strip my own wallpaper.  I guess I should apologize to all those people that bought houses that I had gone wallpaper crazy in over the years.    And I really loved wallpapering.    This was my last place I had wallpapered. 19 years ago, when I moved in.    I am not as young as I was then.    And this is kicking my butt.     After an entire day working on this yesterday,  and not being as far along as i thought  I would be in my mind,  I am almost too sore to go back to it this morning.    Full disclosure: My mind might think my body is a little younger than it is.     …update, tomorrow!...

Ahhhh, Summer

Loving it! Outside sitting spaces, Tons of flowers, A little embroidery, Some painting. And some knitting. Along with a lot of mowing, weedeating, and watering. But all fun! As a side note, the painting was for friends that are redoing a room. He is a plasterer and does ornamental plaster work. I have been on mission trips with him, but have never been to their house. They asked about colors for a room that they are doing and I told them that if they brought a sample of the plaster to me, I would paint some "ideas" on it. The perk for me? I got to visit their home last Sunday and WOW! It was so interesting! It made me want to rip all the drywall out of my house and start over, but we all know that is not going to happen!
