Lots going on!

What a nice 4 day weekend we had!

We got sooo much accomplished at my Moms. We put a wall up above the fireplace, sanded and painted. It really brightens up the room without a whole brick wall. And my handyman put up a new wall around her vanity area too. Oh, and installed a new toilet!

He said she's kind of whimsical. I hope he likes it!

I have one more paying project to do so my project has been put aside...but here it is so far;

And on top of all that, I cleaned out 3 closets and filled up 5 trash bags full of clothes for Good Will.

I'm REALLY going to enjoy being retired!
