What a week!

This is getting to be quite the refrain! But what else can one say, when so very much happens each and every week.

This week has seen my son come out of his drugged and pain controlled state, and rejoining the world. Finally on Wednesday afternoon he surfaced and realized that he had lost almost 2 weeks that he doesn't remember at all. I can only say "Great! Because that pain was toubh to watch and must have been intolerable to experience!"

Friday brought a discussion and reveal of the mess in the furnace room area where the washer has been leaving water all over the floor and soaking through to the crawl space. That is the good news. The bad news is that they used MDF board under the stick on tiles that never stuck. With the moisture the MDF has turned to mush and the tiles . . . well enough said. Now for the 2nd good news, the pressure tank, well-in water line, and the water softener can all be moved to the opposite end of the furnace room (near the furnace) leaving the entire opposite end for better use! (Like a scrapbooking space???) We will have to rethink the placing of the washer and dryer, but it will still open up a great space that is currently unusable.

The new washer and dryer will be termporarily set up today so we can start saving water and power. They are bright red - my dream set. I just can't wait.

S&J's house got the primer in the basement yesterday and the rug removed from the bedroom making it ready for the new hardwood floor to go down. That will be done today.

I got to walk my yard with D & S yesterday and help share my "view" of what is to come. I seriously want to keep it a rather "wild or natural" look for grandchildren and pets to enjoy, rather than a planned and formal "garden". I love the look of space and the surprise of the various sitting areas and viewpoints within the layout. I love the use of the various huge pots overflowing with flowers that I can move about the yard to create a show in any area. That is my style.

So enough brain strolling for now. Off to find the coffee!
