We finished our work on the inside of mom's house! Except for one bit of touch-up on one wall but at this point that hardly counts. We both worked most of yesterday and today at mom's house or at our own house.
I believe I told you that I'm giving mom back the bedroom furniture she had for much of her life until she gave it to us. 'Our" furniture is now in her new bedroom and mom is so very happy. Steve spent most of today stripping paint from our 'new' dresser and chest of drawers. It got so hot the stripper quit working so he'll be back at that early in the day on Sunday. (Tomorrow we go north to visit Steve's mom and dad.) I cleaned our house and ran numerous errands while Steve sweated. I had the easier job.
The countertops go in on Tuesday, the plumber comes on Wednesday and I think mom and Christy will be in the house by Wednesday afternoon. There will be more moving on Thursday but the end is in sight. Oh happy, happy day!
Jan Krentz shared this link and I want to share it with any of you who haven't seen it. I want to see these places! (I want to think about filming myself so that I can make one of these fun videos.) I'm looking forward to traveling again. Life is good!

Rick Mereki has more videos and they are probably equally fun but I have not had time to watch them. Click here for more.

Yes, when the going gets tough you just have to keep going. There were plenty of times when neither of us wanted to do more, but it had to be done so there you go.

This movie reminded me of the videos of Matt dancing at innumerable famous locations around the world which can be seen at http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/
They are fun to watch, too, and you should read his blog about dancing in front of the Acropolis in Athens.

Congrats! You have made such a wonderful home for your mom and sister. I really enjoyed watching the progress. You’ve inspired me to do some small painting and repair projects around the house too.
