My youngest son was in town on business and had Sunday evening free.
He lives in California and I had not seen him since last Christmas!
This is the son of my old age and I am so grateful to be his mother!
He requested Potato Soup for supper and we ate it in front of the fireplace while we watched the Dallas Cowboys Game.
Earlier Sunday afternoon Louis Dean enjoyed making music with his friends.
Life is always better with MUSIC!
Monday was Halloween and that was a fun day!
Our favorite neighbor children came back after the trick or treating was over
and Louis Dean read 'The Ghost Eye Tree' by Bill Martin. He reads this every year and ALWAYS wears the hat! LD met Bill Martin at a Teacher Workshop and they became friends. The book means a lot to him and he gets such a kick out of reading it!
Tuesday was a seriously awesome day!
My movie buddy was back in town so we took in a matinee at Starplex then hit up a Goodwill, Thrift Store and Salvation Arny. I hit the JACK POT!!
Found a cart FULL of goodies including a floor lamp with attached tray to sit beside Louis Dean's easy chair in the den.
LOVE these hefty pumpkin beauties!
After our shopping we put in a couple of hours on our art projects.
These are still a couple of sessions from being finished but I did make some progress.
We listened to these Christmas CD's while we painted......
appropriate since we were painting Santas!
I picked this 3 CD set up for just $0.99 - LESS 25% Senior Discount -
making each CD just a quarter each!!
Wednesday was spent in the bedroom. I Kiltzed and painted the back door and sanded the Sheetrock in preparation for the last of the wall papering!
Which is what I did today!
Louis Dean is preparing the floor for the tile which I hope we get to do soon!
We passed the point of no return because I started ripping up the carpet!
Our room is a wreck!! LD has been in the guest room the last couple of days because he can't even GET to his side of the bed! There's barley enough room for me to squeeze through the debris and slide in between the covers. And covers we DO need now that chilly weather has arrived. We are actually facing a FREEZE warning tonight!!
I am loving it!!
LD was a professional baker back in the day! He can make some truly fine bread!
He baked four loaves this morning while I was papering.
Actually it was early afternoon. We do not 'do' much in the mornings other than read and drink coffee!
The day is done and I am happy we have accomplished so much!
Time now for a fire in the fireplace and a simple supper to be eaten in front of it!
I am thinking a cup of Earl Grey and grilled cheese sandwiches using that good bread I have been smelling all day will be prefect!
