Honey Do’s Forever

Will I hope Mary Ann is happy…Her refrigerator came…Honey do…Her stove came…Honey do…Her kitchen island came in a kit…Honey do…Her micro wave came…Honey do…Now we are waiting for her spice rack to arrive, and I thought I had better write in the blog before she decided on something else…Don’t tell her, but it really does look good…With all the counter space it has created, I got the bread machine out and am now baking bread…I don’t have a lot of time because I have to take care of the sound system in the ball room for the Halloween Dance…I will have to meet with the entertainment crew and see what their needs will be for sound and lighting…My sister, Ruth, e-mailed me and told me about the sad news of her husband,David’s, brother in law passed away…Billy was in the same high school class with me…There is hardly a week goes by that the news of one of my class mates has gone on to another life…I know that I promised to post pictures of my recent carvings…If Mary Ann would leave me alone with the honey do’s, I might find time to take the pictures…Don’t tell her that I really do enjoy doing things for her…She so does much for me that I will never be able to repay…I need to go and check on my bread…Sister and David, by heart goes out to you with my thoughts and prayers…Philip

Catching Up

It seems like I have had enough problems with the old computer and learning about the new computer that time has just slipped away…When we got back from our summer trip and started opening up the house for the season every thing needed to be don at once…Mary Ann wanted a new refrigerator, stove, microwave, spice racks, and new island for the kitchen.  Shopping for these items kept her busy for a while…Yes I know, still a lot of honey dos that keeps mama happy…You see how abused I am…Well every thing is installed except the island, and spice rack…Thank goodness they haven’t arrived yet…That gives me a little time to play with my computer until they arrive…I might even get a little carving done…We went to a rally in Sedona, Arizona with the Elks Lodge…Had a wonderful time and enjoyed the mountains in the desert…Here are some pictures of the scenery.   We love the mountains

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that Mary Ann’s microwave hasn’t arrived yet…Maybe I can duck and dodge until it gets here…Talk to you later Philip

New Computer

It was delivered yesterday…It took me until midnight (until I couldn’t see)…I have been working on it all morning…Still have a long way to go, to get all my stuff transferred from the old computer…I think I will have it all done by Sunday…I got the Windows 7 operating system…The transition is very easy to make…So far I really like the new system…It seems more user friendly…Great versatility,in searching for items…So far I would recommend it, particularly if you are buying a new computer…I have a lot to talk about and some more pictures to publish…Right now I want to continue putting my stuff on the new computer…Talk to you later…Philip

Computer Working Again

I don’t know how long my computer will hold together, but I have ordered a new one and should be here soon…The frustration of not having a computer is driving me down the road to the nearest nut house…I truly am sorry about not writing in the blog…As we all know computer problems can be aggravating…I will write more when the new computer arrives…Talk to you later…Philip

COMPUTER PROBLEMS

I have been having computer problems…I think I might have solved them…Talk to you later…Philip

Trying To Catch Up

Being gone for almost six months takes a lot to catch up when it comes to maintaince around the house...Unpacking the motor home and putting things away in the house and shop always takes more time than expected...Mary Ann bought a new refrigerator and is shopping for a new range...It has to be ordered because the model she wants is not in stock...Putting our calendar together for the season is becoming complicated because of Dr. appointments, coordinating the sound booth schedule for the professional entertainers...and wanting to carve many things...I do look forward to working a schedule and keeping lots of activities in front...People are drifting in and things are picking up with the resort coming alive with activities of all kinds...I will take some pictures as soon as it gets daylight and post them...We are taking our daily rides in the golf cart...That is something Sunshine will not let us for get...She sits in front of the drawer where the leash is kept and waits...This occurs around three thirty each afternoon...I will post later today and try to stay up to date...Talk to you later...Philip
