Where has the time gone??

 I have been neglectful of my poor blog for some time now. I could try and explain it but who wants to hear all that clap trap. Lets just put the past in the past and move on with better intentions and determination. I'm all for that.

While I have come to think that 2022 is defiantly not my year, the end of September and a good part of October where rather lovely. Busy and The Carpenter came to work on my upstairs bathroom. We, (that is the royal We because I did little to nothing to contribute to the actual work), are removing the old tub that has seen better days and putting in a shower.

Going going gone!!!

A lot of heavy work and the tub was gone. Eventually there will be a new shower, vanity and toilet, plus flooring and panel board on the walls. Its going to be so nice to have it done. I am eternally grateful these two are willing to put in all this work for me.

The Carpenter also fixed a sag in the dining room floor so now I don't have to worry about  the house falling into the basement. While he puttered away doing his handyman stuff,  Busy and I replaced the drapes in the dining and living room. Again with the royal We.

These replace the chocolate brown ones that have been up for years. We organised the buffet and the hutch in the kitchen .

All of this was wonderful but I have to say the absolute best of the weekend was and early Thanksgiving dinner. Busy brought all the fixin's and cooked a delicious meal. I got to use my good china, crystal and silverware. We invited the No Cooks and Sweet Baboo to come and dine. 

It was just the best evening! Everyone enjoyed the food, the conversation flowed and it was just the best. I could not have been more pleased if I tried. It was excellent.

After they scooted home Best Friend came and stayed for a few days. Its been two years since we have seem each other so we had a lot of chatting to do. We had the No Cooks over for a pizza supper the night before she left. They are getting to think I'm going to feed them every week. 

This weekend is our annual scrapbooking weekend which is always loads of fun. I am nearly packed up and ready to go. Thank goodness I have help because I could never do this alone. Too many heavy containers.

There I think I have shared all I wanted to. Lets hope I get back into a regular routine.

Toodles, Linda
