A few random thoughts

First of all for those of you that look at my blog occasionally you know that I have been so excited about my pineapple plant. I am not so excited about it anymore, it just isn't growing. The fruit is staying small but the leaves on top of it are getting bigger and bigger, I feel like I failed pineapple growing. I think I need to go to Maui and get first hand instructions, anyone want to come along?

Secondly, I attended a Girl Scout training on Saturday, I had a lot of fun. I left Pat at home with a house with most of the rooms turned upside down. I was afraid that he would try to help and clean, which always scares me because I can never find anything when he does that. Well he didn't help me clean, but he did add to the mess ! He has been wanting to paint the hallway and I have been wanting him to paint the bathroom door so the work began. First he pulled up the carpet in the hallway. One thing that he needed to do in preperation was empty the bottom of the hall closet, that is now on the kitchen floor. Look at my beautiful linoleum:















That needs to go quickly ! can you believe he actually taped it so that he did not get any paint on it?


Before he paints he felt that he needed to level the house, so the past two nights he has been under it trying to level it up. Last night it got close enough, I can now actually close the door to one of our extra bedrooms that I use for an office.










Now before he paints he needs to fix a couple of giant cracks that developed after leveling the floor. Quite a few nails popped on the hall wall also. Pat is an excellent sheetrock taper so I know that you will not be able to see any flaws at all when he is done. One more thing that I have asked him to do is to take down the panelling in the hallway also, he will do that in the next few nights. We are hoping that the hardwood floor under the linoleum is in okay condition, just a quick sanding and it will be beautiful.



Third, Saturday night Pat and I went for dinner with some very old friends that were in town,

Kevin and Polly Childs and three of their children, Josiah, Judson and Ian. We went to a local BBQ restaurant, Lisa's Hawg and Dawg. We all enjoyed a good meal and good conversation. Kevin was the Pastor of our church when we first moved here. Now he is the Pastor at the Rock in Conway, South Carolina. Josiah is in the Army, he was home on a short leave before going to San Antonio.
