We took a break earlier and went to wally world and guess what, came home with two more tea roses ,a blue girl and aapricot,the blue very frangrant to me, but Ron couldnt smell it.And another 6 pack of geraniums(pink)and a few other little flowers to put under the bird bath, to replace what got frosted on..
Got home planted roses, and azealas. Then it was bbq time ,yup...hot links and hotdogs, and macaroni and cheese...so supper was easy.My sneakers are a muddy mess....Oh and Ron got his first pair of camo shorts,lol..ive been wanting him to get a pair, will see how they look on him after his shower.He hasnt wanted a pair,since he says,'he's not in the army'!..lol..

Will Kat get a bigger kitchen?

Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:03 am

This evening a carpenter came over from across the street,where their building new homes to talk with us for a minute on adding on to the house. the kitchen is on the back side of house, the 2 story side. The roof is complicated from the sunroom addition upstairs for us to figure out by ourselves.
This guy wasnt much help since we found out he was just maybe a trimmer or something,and we needed to talk to someone else.
We have been going back 'n forth over this subject of an addition.
The room below would be added on where we planned our 2nd pergola to go,not a major deal.
But it would give me space, a real sewing room,not the dinningroom ,that my sewing machine is in now.

the patio will be gone if we do,will have to remove all bricks further out.I also want a porch put on,in a L shape,like a old victorian house put on...fingers crossed!!!

Yup,out there enjoying it today. Im gonna haul all my cushions and stuff out of the house! Thank god i need the room. If the ground wasnt so wet id plant all those azealas we bought, they've been in the garden shed since bad weather was coming,they maybe blooming in there.
The quilt will be put off for today,maybe it will become a night project now,after dark...lol.

I picked up some other material and bought it at 1.00 a yard,for future projects,i hate when a idea hits ya to sew something up and no material to be found ,so im ready just in case.
Hope you all have a great day,and NEW ENGLAND makes it thru all this weather...Be safe brother of mine!
hugs
Kat

Tonight Rons cousin Judy and her hubby came by,and i think she helped boost my spirits and a beer believe it or not.Later after they left, Me and Ron went to walmart where i bought several yards of material to start a new quilt.The 1st of the year we painted our bedroom a lovely chocolate color and the comforter we bought last fall,just doesnt match perfect now so i was gonna make a quilt for the bed and now im getting it going. I cut out several squares tonight and started piecing it to see how it will look and its gonna be lovely!!..My mood now is excited!..smiling..
Tomorrow ill post a few pics of the start of it..
Any ways,all,thanks for the kind words and they were very appreciated!!
Good night!
Kat..

Got a call this morning,,from my brother. Dad went into the hospital yesterday ,he was dehydrated.Mom never called me! Neither did my sis kelly. I get a call from my brother in New.Hampshire that dads in the hospital..(shock)....many feelings going thru my mind,thats already working over time!

Hours later my brother calls,dads at home(MOMS HOUSE).Dad doesnt want to go back to the nursing home.But kelly and mom will take him back later on , after a good meal etc...
Me and Ron get into it,(not good)...over me being so far away and him feeling he has to sell or else and he's not going to do it!
As i said before,im not wanting him to feel like he does,BUT!!!.
Venting again, just keeping ya updated,lol..tears...

Tore between to places

Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 2:53 am

In between loving this place, i also hate it.I feel like a deserter not being home. Six hours is just to far from folks and family.Ron knows im not happy and he is content here. His place is paid off and he grew up here. So he has no want to move.I cant say i blame him, but i try to think what i'd do if it was him in my perdicament.
So im depressed,if i leave it will be alone and are relationship over.
Sorry, guess its my vent night,this is a blog right,so if it bore's ya ,you can stop reading it and go to another, it wont hurt my feelings,but i have to vent,,,
Right now Rons pal is here,their drinking beer and his friend is here cause he's dealing with going to a funeral maybe if his wife's grandfather dies,and making a trip to new york,and that just made my dads problem hit home more! i cant handle them getting drunk right now so,sorry again!
I MAY CALL MY BOYS SOONER THAN I PLANNED NOW..
