Status Quo

Things in my world are pretty much status quo for now. The last couple of days have pretty much been uneventful. Well... today my office went out to lunch - Dingbats. It was nice. Not overly exciting, but any day that we can get out of the office is fun... especially on such nice days.

Tonight Keith and I went for a short walk around the neighborhood. I, for one, would like to see more of the neighborhood and walk a little faster, but I cherish the times that he will actually walk along with me. The doctor says he has bone spurs on his knees - ouch! Anyway, we enjoy checking out the neighbor's places. Some are dumpy. Some are pretty. Some have yards. Some don't. Some have funny looking trees and shrubs. Some have flowers. We haven't done much with the outside of our place. We are waiting to own it -- as we are for a lot of more expensive projects.

After the walk we went to Radio Shack and got a new cell phone. We got a nice rebate for a phone upgrade. Our old one was broken. Anyway it took like over an hour to make the sale. The sales guy was on his first day we think. Ugh. But we were patient. Oh - and the salesman actually has my same birthday only a year younger. Funny huh. Then we went to Home Depot and got a blade for the lawn mower. Hopefully we'll be able to mow some grass pretty soon!

We did paint the dining room the very first week we were here -- Keith and his Mom did it. Mom Hudson also bought us a brandy new stove, which we totally love!!! (Thanks Mom) A few weeks back Keith painted the living room... RED... deep RED. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but actually I think it is rather elegant. The grey couch looks great against it and we kept the white drapes from before. That's about it besides general cleaning.

Well, Keith awaits my presence. Some nights we watch tv together. Some nights we don't. Some nights we play games. Tonight the game is "Life." We like this one. So... I best get at it. Enjoy the evening everyone. I'll post again whenever something more exciting happens. OK.

That's CRANBERRY, not red. And I think it's elegant too.. Wizzy looks good against it.. boy, you even have your cat color coordinated. Some people's kids..
Thanks for your help today, Keith. You are priceless..you too, JJ

Thanks. Technically it's called "Apple Red." Glad you all like it. It was a rather bold move, but it has proved to be a good one.
