Don't give up on me, gentle readers. We have been really busy--that is certainly good. We enjoyed the DCCB Cabaret Concert, even though I wasn't able to play. I had never heard the band from the audience before and it was a pleasant surprise to discover that it sounds even better out front than sitting in the last row tooting. Sunday we ran to Toledo, Sammy's Club, and a look through some furniture stores. No luck there. Monday we began to seriously take advantage of our dear friends, Bob and Marion. They helped complete the paper stripping in the condo--the bedroom and kitchen are done and ready for wall repairs. Tuesday, Emily and Cathie continued to plan decorating and went to Archbold to visit Rupp's furniture. Bonanza! They called me to join them and we found a beautiful table--40 inch round pedestal with a 24 inch leaf and four gorgeous, padded chairs on casters. Exactly what we wanted but had become convinced did not exist. Also the sleeper sofa for the den--you will be amazed with the color. Mint green! Nothing like we have ever done before.
Today Bob and Marion dug up the ornamental grass and divided it--it is voracious. Then they helped Emily put down Preen in the hosta beds. What great friends! Tonight Andy and Wally arrive to attack the garage right away in the morning. We should be able to get the job done and have them help with a couple projects at the condo as well.
I continue to enjoy (at least to try to enjoy) my week off Chemo. I certainly have more energy but have not recovered my taste or appetite. Had a blood draw today in preparation for my check up the the Doc on Friday.
Isn't the weather great? We had lunch on the deck and the grass is greening up and the perennials are jumping. Hallelujah.

Love hearing the spring in your voice. Our iris spears are growing tall. Saw a fat robin sitting in our budding maple tree this afternoon. From the chattering in the treetops in early evening, I think some major gossip is going around. Enjoy Maestro!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know things are going so well. What wonderful friends you have - and the weather couldn't be more cooperative. Usually when you don't post a blog for a few days, you're busy gathering interesting material. With all that's going on, it's always worth the wait. Hope you're continuing to take it easy and let your minions do the work..... and continuing to feel better.
ReplyDeleteHallelujah INDEED! Sounds like a good HOLY WEEK for you! Have a very glorious Happy Easter and I pray that things continue going well and getting better!
ReplyDeleteGrabbing a few moments with Bill's computer before he takes it off to work. Can't wait until we are up and running with the T-1 line. We look for you guys the minute we long on. So glad to hear that all is moving along with the new place. God bless your helpers. Consider us "mental wallpaper strippers" because we are right there beside you in thought. (Lots easier than being there in person--ha ha.) Love you lots. Have a wonderful, blessed Easter. Ave and Cliff
