Yesterday was such a beautiful day, after the dismal weather we've been having.
It was some warmer, but still cold.
Steve and I had 'seperate' mornings, with him at his computer, and me just banging around the house.
I took the bed clothes off the bed to wash them, because I have a new bed heater I want to use.
I decided to let the mattress 'air' for the day, as I really wanted to get outside and work on my Hut. I so enjoy projects like that, but they're a lot of hard work and frustration, too.
We first went to lunch, as Steve was going to have a conference call a little later. So, I had to change clothes. I usually run through about 4-6 changes a day.
I took some Christmas ornaments for the girls at the Goodwill. Renae had asked for some for some gentleman friend of hers. Angie wanted some when I got them there, too.
I also took some spotlight bulbs to Penny, the owner of the Down Home, to use in her lights that light the parking area. She wasn't there, so I left them with Lu Lu, who I call 'Loopy'. She's such a pleasant lady, and I've grown very fond of her.
I delivered a blow-mold angel to the Acuff's, down on 11W. He's got a really neat nativity set in his yard, and he gets way more visibility than my house does. I'd rather see some nativity scenes than all the worldly junk indigenous to this time of year. I try to encourage him. They both gave me big hugs of appreciation, and invited me in, but Steve was along, so I just left the angel at the door. It was out on top of the creche when we came back home. It was one that I had restored, with hand-painted features.
I did some quick feeding, and put the heat on under the water fountains. They're staying frozen too long to suit me. Those birds have to have water.
I then went to work on the Hut, and Steve joined me a little later. We worked out there until almost 10:00. There's just so much to do, and it goes so slowly, having to step over things all the time. It's like trying to heat a chicken coop out there, but I think Steve's new plexiglass storm windows will make a big difference.
The bedroom is now ready for it's final coat of paint. I had primed it earlier, but wanted to do some caulking before the final color/coat.
After we came in the house, I got the heating pad for the bed, and put it on. I had to customise it, as it is really for a full bed, and we have a king. I got it on, the bed made, and it didn't work! I was so frustrated.
I took a bath and got ready for bed. I think we got to bed around 1:00. I was up around 8:00 this morning, which is a little late for me. Steve slept until almost 10:00.
I don't know how he stays in bed so long.
I painted on a Christmas Tree panel I'm making for a window in the living room.
I talked with Angie Slagle yesterday, too, and she has my stained glass window panel nativity scene ready. It's made up from lots of stained glass pieces that I've collected over the years. There's lots of angels. I can't wait to see it, but she's in New Orleans, so I'll just HAVE to wait.
Lynn loved a post I left on her blog. She said it made her laugh and cry.
