I have to dig through the dining room chairs & boxes in the guestroom to get to the closet where the suitcases are so we can get hubby packed for his trip
yup should of done that before I moved everything in there
Hubby is going to mow today
I am going to do laundry and get his stuff packed
I need to get a few more boxes so I can pack the final cabinets the spice cabinet & the liquor cabinet & junk drawer
I am really glad we packed up the kitchen yesterday it was so much easier than if I had waited and done it myself
Not sure what else today will hold maybe a couple steaks on the grill !!!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Good morning!
One word of advice, Karla: Keep that liquor box handy....you may need it! Sounds like you're coming along, tho. How exciting. Are you taking before, during and after photos?
Me, I'm just hangin' out here this a.m., waiting to leave for Lowes. Len and I are going together for the first batch of mulch, then he'll bring it and me home and head back for more while I start spreading. I'm good at spreading, but it's usually something other than mulch.
That'll be my workout.
I enjoyed the pool yesterday and will try to get my sorry butt over there again today. I'm sure I'll need some hot tubbin' to get rid of a few kinks here and there after spreading mulch. My back hurts already. Seriously, I woke up with a sore back, but that's not new for me.
I've walked all three miles this morning It is a balmy (lol) 70 degrees! I was so excited to see more northern temperatures come back that I was up early and ready to walk when the sun came up.
I saw your pictures on FB Karla, hopefully someone can just patch up the mess the original contractors did. You and Dana have come a long way in an afternoon! I do agree with Pattie, some things may not be attempted without a drink or two, a kitchen remodel is one
I've got to finish up laundry and clean up around here, then get coffee which I forgot yesterday when shopping. I could have finished everything yesterday but I realized that there was a Walking Dead marathon on yesterday and I have never seen the first season. Sooooo I spent the afternoon happily in airconditioning watching blood and gore!
We are finally getting a break in our warm temperatures, only supposed to be 90 today. It will feel wonderful!
Gotta get before the day gets away from me.
Have fun Karla and Pattie take it easy on the yard work.

I did about an hour's worth of spreading mulch...12 bags. Boy, am I beat. I think I got a little sunburn on my face, too. I have a faux chicken burger in the oven. After I eat that, I think I'll head to the pool.
picked up more paint samples packed up 2 more cabinets only 1 left and of course I ran out of boxes
whoops then there is the pantry but I am going to try and fit everything that is in it into the hall pantry
why we need 2 pantry's for food stuff for 2 people boggles my mind
Lol, laundry is almost done and the house is clean Now off to get the coffee I forgot yesterday and maybe a nice deli salad so I can just sit outside and enjoy the nice day
Sandy-Would you like to come and help me, lol? I have been working outside and the inside has been neglected.
What is Walking Dead?
Karla-It will be so exciting when you have your new kitchen. Hubby wanted to do a new kitchen for me but I have decided I would rather put up 2 dog kennels and make a 10x40 foot garden and build new beds next year since the cows destroyed about 40 of my green bean plants the other day.
You talk about only two pantries, lol. That is nothing compared to the food I store, lol.
Pattie-Good job on the mulch. I like playing with mulch..it's kind of like playing in the dirt I am probably the only person who doesn't use any tools in my garden. I do everything with my hands, lol.
OMG...we went out and hubby worked on the wood boards and I got nine 5 gallon buckets of rock. I am dripping. Break time and then back out to hopefully finish the wood part of the steps. Hmm!!! maybe there is something to that mulch....then again we do rock so we never have to do it again. Although if I had plants or flowers in it I would do the mulch. So much easier to dig and work with.
We now or will have a 44 foot staircase running along our driveway going down to the house. They are at a much slower drop than regular steps because of our hill and slope. We needed the steps for the winter when it ices up. At least we will have a level spot to walk up and down without busting our necks on the drive. I will get pictures up later or tomorrow.
I think my head is too hot to think much today, lol.
Pictures please Lisa Walking Dead is a tv series I watch, very icky but I love anything filled with suspense. It is about a zombie filled world, very few humans alive, and searching for a "safe" place.
morning ladies
Holy Moly Lisa when you said you were building stairs I never thought you meant a "wall" of stairs I can't wait to see pictures
Pattie thank again for the mulch sale info I told the "boys" and they were very happy to hear this though since none of them have a truck looks like I may be heading to lowes this afternoon with the 4runner to pick up what they couldnt fit in the car
Sandy I saw a preview of that show yup lol icky it scared me !!!
Well we pulled out 4 more of the remaining cabinets yesterday the only ones eft are the one over the microwave (its attached) and the one right next to it I needed 1 to keep some stuff I need this week
We pulled the fridge out yikes (for those that don't have FB I am taking a poll on how often you clean behind yours) holy moly lol how the hell does so much dusty yuck build up back there
I am really glad we pulled it instead of waiting for the day the construction guys came or I would of been really embarrassed
Got the laundry done and hubby all packed
lol it is weird not having cabinets on the one wall I catch myself wanting to put things where they were
Lol Karla, those little areas that dust and dirt hide were part of the 101 kitchen training my mom gave us girls growing up. I'm about a once a month cleaner behind the fridge. The stove, at T's house, I have never gotten out, it is too hard to pull it out because it is a snug fit inbetween the cabinets.
