Not much has happened this week except the progress on our new shower!! Construction is finished and the tile job is well under way. It is beautiful. I am happy with the choices I made. I've been busy dreaming about ways to remodel the kitchen too. That will be the next indoor project. Before we do the kitchen though we want to finish the landscaping in the back yard. The patio has been a joy this winter and will be even more wonderful this summer. I have been looking at patio furniture too. We have NONE... well, some cheap folding chairs that don't count.
Gotta go. Love to all.

We had a great time visiting Mom & Walt last weekend. I hadn't seen Mom for quite a while. She has her place fixed up very nicely. New carpet, new couch, patio paver addition, new curtains, new table and chairs in the kitchen... We were supposed to fly home on Sunday afternoon, but the SantaAna winds were way to strong to allow for a safe take off, so we stayed until Monday morning. I was actually glad to have the extra time visiting. We went to a movie and dinner Sunday night and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly..
This last week we started construction on our master bath shower. We had removed the tile shower almost 2 !!! years ago because it was leaking badly. Now we have finally hired someone to rebuild it. We kept procrastinating because we (meaning I) could not really decide what we wanted to do with the space - enlarge, reconfigure, ??. In the end we are keeping the configuration of the room the same. We are adding a shower seat, and recessed shelf though. We are also getting the modern frameless hinged glass doors instead of our old fashioned sliding glass doors. Of course the tile will be quite different too. I am really excited to see the progress and will be even more excited to have a shower in our room again. It will be beautiful.

Last weekend we were supposed to go to visit Mom & Walt in Quartsite, AZ, but it didn't work out. Again! I was very disappointed that we couldn't go. We are going to go to visit them in Aguanga this weekend -- barring another problem. Yesterday I was begining to doubt the trip again because it rained all day. The news gives a forcast of a sunny weekend though. Whew! We tried to make it for the whole month of January and didn't manage to get there. Things look good for this weekend. Yea!
Alan will be staying home to work and babysit the 3 (!!!) dogs. We have our silkie terrier, Keeper; Kym's cocker spaniel, Suzi; and Becky's very large mix, Jedi. We often babysit Suzi on the weekends because Kym works such long hours at the theater. Suzi cannot stay in Kym's condo for 10-12 hours without potty breaks. Jedi arrived last Monday. Becky and an ex-boyfriend got Jedi when they were dating several years ago. Mark (the ex) kept custody of the dog. He recently moved into an apartment and can no longer keep Jedi. Since Becky and Jason are in Oklahoma, it was here or the pound for Jedi. He is a good dog -- just large and exuberant. Seven pound Keeper and 85 lb(?) Jedi are quite a pair. Jedi wants to play and keeper is afraid of him because he moves so very fast. They will get used to each other, I'm sure. Jedi loves people and other dogs. We need to work on his obedience training. "Come" is not in his vocabulary.
