Making the house a new home for me

the new fan to be installed

Kyle took down the old fan.

 

New paint, new carpet

I cleaned the living room carpet while I was waiting for new furniture.

Out with the old carpet

Along with babysitting, I've been making some changes in my home.  I'm redecorating the master bedroom; had it painted, and put in new carpeting.  I even got new furniture.  I'm trying to make the house more comfortable for me while I figure out where my life goes next.  I'm also having some landscape work done soon; things that Darryl would have done if he was here, but now I need to hire these things out.  All these projects should keep me busy for a long time!  

Babysitting Jellybean

This is what I do on Mondays.  It is a joy and blessing to have a grandchild in my life.  She's a precious little toddler.  I'm so grateful to be in Michigan.  I never got to know Ethan was he was little, so this is a whole new experience for this old grandma.  

 

Girl's day

My wonderful daughter-in-law invited me to hang with them at the mall.  It was such a nice treat to get out for a little while and walk the mall and stop for lunch at the food court.  We picked out a couple of things to buy for Winnie.  Thanks, Hilary!

Which one, Winnie?
