Aside from Painting....

We have done some other things than paint while we have been here too.  We have been out stimulating the economy with some shopping, I hung a new ceiling fan in the guest bedroom, hung a lot of drapes.  And of course we have managed to eat a lot!

 

I need to tell this next story before Brian does because he got way too big of a kick out of it.  He likes to twist the stories to, as he puts it, "make them more entertaining"!  

Since there is no Pine Cone down here for us to hang out at, we have settled on IHOP.  They have good food, great coffee and the best onion rings either of have ever had.  But they also have pancakes.  Pancakes with everything.  I swear when you go to the john, every fourth piece of toilet paper is a pancake!  So, I wanted breakfast the other day and I asked if I could possibly get eggs, bacon and hash browns, without pancakes.  I wanted toast instead.  So, the waitress flips the menu over and says, "I'll give you the Senior Quick Breakfast....."  Brian broke out in fits of laughter, since he knows how I feel about getting older.  I think the poor waitress thought she had really insulted us.  But she made a point of telling us that she was trying to do me a favor by letting me order from the "Senior Menu".  Brian of course did not take it that way!

Today, we are waiting for a furniture delivery.  A kitchen table and small desk for the living room.  Then I'm sure it will be off to eat, what who knows.....  I still have lots of painting to do.  The Master Bath and the guest room.  I don't really mind it, but I tell ya, it was a lot easier 10 years ago!  Maybe I am ready for the Senior Menu!
