Monday morning Blue

Actually it is Good Evening Now.................

but it really was Monday Morning Blue

Hope you are having a great Monday,

Mine has been busy, I pretty much got out of bed got old clothes

on, made a iced coffee, and prepared to paint the bathroom.

Talked and prayed with hubby on the phone, got the

paint poured and ready to go, then talked with my

daughter as she drove to work, so finally got started

about 8:30.

It is a small room so I was done by 10:00, hubby still

has to do the trim around the ceiling and the doorway.

I am a great roller, but not as great a trimmer, and

Jimmy is a great trimmer, but doesn't like rolling,

so we make a great pair.

I painted it what I call a "Robins Egg Blue"

(that's where the blue Monday comes in)

think I may have mentioned I have wanted a room

that color for quite awhile, and so I am thrilled

and can't wait to see both the water closet area

and the dressing room, the same color.

For me it is breathtaking, don't know what it is about

that color, but I just love it, love it!!

Remember last week we had to replace the wall, and

do the tile, well, we got all the tile done and grouted,

that was a fun job, ( I am being sarcastic here)

not the grouting so much, the clean up, it dried very quickly,

so it was really fun trying to get it off the tile, it was exhausting

to tell you the truth, and then the grout doesn't match the grout on

the same tile we have in the dressing area so we are gonna

have to redo that grout.

Course, I never really liked it that much anyway, and have

wanted to redo it for a long time. (It was our first attempt at tiling

and we mixed the grout and think we didn't mix it quite right

or something). I actually used a bleach pen on it awhile back

and it looked much better for awhile anyway.

Thankfully my husband has this neat lil dremel tool

that cuts the grout right out, so think I am gonna just

do a quadrant of the room at a time, then maybe

it want be such a big deal.

Forgot to say I love the new tile job and the grout,

hubby did another professional looking job,

he cut all the tile, and I assisted him and helped

with the grout clean up.

We have to finish tiling the shower first, so I may wait

till we finish that or do them simultaneously in the day

while hubby is working. I'll decide that once we get this

lil room under our belt. Tomorrow night hopefully, we will

install the new John. Then I can't touch the tile with water

for 5 more days. It still has some of that yukky residue

from the grout. So it will look much nicer once I can

mop it several times.

We are wiped after working on it all last week.

It has been a great distraction for us tho.

We have not been worrying over our son at all.

The Lord has answered our prayers and the

prayers of his people on our behalf, God is

just soooooooo good to us.

We have heard from him everyday still,

he said today was a great day for hiking

no rain so far. Hope it stayed that way,

cause the weather reports say it is suppose

to have rain all the way till June 22nd.

Then who knows after that!!

He is about 10 hrs. behind schedule so that

is not too bad for all the bad weather he has

incurred. He might have been soggy but

his spirits don't seem to be dampened.

We think he should get into the next

town by Wed or maybe Thursday, then

we will get to talk to him and find out

what has really been going on.

I can't wait!!

Well, I was gonna try and download

some pics of our progress, but for some

reason, it want go into the download

mode. Oh Well, better luck

tomorrow maybe!

Oh yea, I wanted to say something about

the opening mosaic picture. Isn't it fabulous!!

I went to this wonderful blog over the weekend and she has

a ton of these absolutely lovely pics,

they just make my heart sing, they are

such visions of loveliness. Go over and check

it out, if you like romantic decorating,

you are gonna love it.
