station is just down the road. We, like most,
have know for quite a while for whom we'd vote
in the National. We didn't get the Colorado
Blue Book this year are dependent on the net
to get our information on the State affairs.
Regarding my left eye I'll be seeing a Cornea
specialist in two weeks. I think I just have
to be patient until the swelling, from the
Shingles, of my eyelid goes down.
John, our newly found carpenter who is also
the brother of my hair dresser, Nancy is
turning our nook in the laundry room into
a real closet. It is almost done except
for the door he special ordered so it would
match the furnace-room door which is also
in the laundry room.
He has also replace our back storm/screen
door with a lovely full-glass, roll-up
storm/screen door. It took a lot of work
to fit it to our back door. We have
given up replacing the front one. It is
an unusual height. It is old and dirty,
but I think if I clean it up it'll look
alright. We seldom use the front door
and it still works as either storm or
screen door.
After these projects are completed he'll
start on tearing down the flagstone
protuberance that is in the living room.
It'll be replace with a back-to-back
book case. The knick-knack shelves
above the protuberance will just go
away. I had thought of having the
bookcases go floor to ceiling, but
decided that would be too much for
our small living room and make the
dark hall even darker.
When we first moved in an I saw the
'60s cook stove, I announced that
would be top on my priority list
to replace. Now that I have used
it for a few months, I realize it
would be a shame replace it. It's
one of the first Jenn-Air and
I have come to appreciate its
unique features. The fan between
the burners is wonderful. It
works much better than any over-
head fan I have ever used. It
really sucks the smells right
out of the kitchen. The refrigerator
is HUGE and well designed, too. I
have never had a refrigerator that
seems to be able to hold everything.
No matter whether it looks to be
full, there is always room for more!
The dishwasher is also well designed.
It'll hold a days dishes and pots
and one large frying pan! I have
to give it to the former owners.
The house is quite modest, but they
didn't stint on appliances. Lucky
me!
We continue to make trips to Salina.
Robert works on rescuing things from
the barn while I clean out the house
room by room. The downstairs is
done except for the computer room.
The upstairs is not. I shudder
every time I go up there because
there is still so much to do. I
don't think Robert has been in the
house since the movers left. I
think it'll be really hard for him
to see it empty and even worse, to
see it trashed as it currently is
upstairs.
We plan to have the whole inside
painted; I'm encouraging Robert
to think about having the wood
floors re-done. They would look
so much better and make a statement
when you walk in the front door.
So, life goes on, not an exciting
life, but very comfortable one.
