Karen brought Eddie II and Brittany some books on Italy. They are already there you know.
Mother's Day
I'm a little late showing my Mother's Day gifts for this year.
Teresa sent this lovely blue print summer pajamas. Grandma Hall also got this print in a summer gown. She loves it.
Eddie and Trudi gave me this coral soft blouse and earrings to match.
Karen gave me hanging basket of strawberries. I have gotten a lot of berries from it and I will plant them into my strawberry bed before fall.
Keith and Denise got me this lily plant. I will plant it in the ground also.
They also gave me a bag full of books, 2 of which I will be filling out with memories and thoughts.

Repairing side of house
Finished paint with #s, flag and eagle.
Window finished.
Light finished.
Pressure washing after paint spill.
Frank's bucket handle broke and spilled a lot of white paint onto porch and splattered everything nearby.
Frank on ladder painting.
The side of the house has been needing repair so we decided to work on it. This shows how bad the bottom board was.
The only 12in board we could find was shelving so I painted 2 of them to mount over the bottom board.
I decided the house numbers and the eagle needed a fresh coat of black paint.
Frank caulking the seams in the siding.

Repairing floor in dining room at Nanny's house
We had to replace the flooring in the dining room. Thought it was just a 1 square foot problem, turned out it was a 4' X 8' problem.
This is the old subflooring.
This shows some of the old joist and framing.
We decided to remove the wood stove from the house since we are putting in a new heating system.
