Dear Don, Lisa and whoever is still haging around reading this,
Thanks for another nice newsletter and all the links. I always
admire you both for finding all those sites, along with any helpers
you have. Nice to see that your little apartment is coming along. Do
you think you will be in it by summer? If so, will you have air
conditioning in it? I have been wondering if Texas has seen much rain
this winter? I doubt you get snow, do you? Just wondering if the
drought there shows any signs of easing up?
My life is always busy. Sure a good thing I don't work because I
would not have time for it. My life will never be boring. Aside from
normal stuff, I signed up to do indexing for the 1940 census. It is
fun to do. Right now I have been practicing on WWI draft cards. It is
fun to see what people's occupations were way back then.
I am still quilting on your quilt top, Lisa. I think I may be done
with the quilting part in a couple more months. I don't work on it
every night. Only about every third night for 90 min. or so. I am
looking forward to getting that done so I can put on the binding.
Still amazes me to look at your tiny little stitches and I admire them
greatly.
Have had some family crisis (plural)- nothing really bad...just
family members losing jobs because of economy (sad) and my 96 year old
mom isn't doing well, (more sad).
But on another note...it is March now and that means it is that much
closer to spring...well here it should arrive in a couple more months.
:-) Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats on losing weight you two.
That is hubby's and my plan come spring when we can get back to
walking outside.
Hey, we're smart enough to figure out what you meant, typos aren't a
problem. :)
It might as well BE summer here. At 10 PM (as I type this) it's 72
outside and tomorrow's high is supposed to be 82. It'll cool down to
63 Saturday but be back up to 73 on Sunday and Monday. I mowed the
lawn last week (first time in months) and it already look like a jungle
. . again. :(
I'm not sure when I'll finish the apartment but if I'm able to continue
making as much progress as I have in the past few weeks it shouldn't be
too much longer. It's been about eight days since Lisa took any photos
and in that time I've managed to get all of the wiring roughed in and
the breaker boxes are in place (though the breakers themselves aren't
wired in yet). Tomorrow I plan to put in the telephone and ethernet
wiring. I suppose I should also pre-wire it with 75 ohm cable for
television, even though we don't ever watch television, because we may
actually want to buy a TV antenna one of these days. Guess I'll go see
if I can buy a 100' roll of it on eBay because I'm pretty sure I don't
have any out in the shop.
I'll let you know, on this list, the next time Lisa posts photos of the
house.
