What we were up to over the weekend!!

*

Good Monday Morning

 Sweet Friends,

*

So how was your weekend?? Can't believe I am

asking that again,  these weeks just fly by so fast

anymore I can hardly believe it,  can you???

*

We started off our weekend by watching a movie

we recorded off the Christian station.  I just happened

to see it earlier in the week and had hubby record

it so he could watch it, cause I knew he would like it.

*

And he loved it too!!  I knew he would.  Problem

is you can only get it thru netflix cause blockbuster

doesn't carry it!  Our you can buy it online.
Course, you know what you should check you
blockbuster or other video stores cause who
knows,  where you live they might have it!!
Worth a try anyway.

*

It is called "The way back home".  It is a charming

southern movie,  filmed right here in the Central Florida

area,  by a fellow who grew up in WinterPark, Florida

and he now lives in Orlando, Florida.  The movie

was filmed in Sanford, Florida and it is a spiritually

and relationally wonderful movie.  

*

If you would like to read what it is about go to

www.christiancinema.com then look for reviews

on the top bar (it's dark blue) and then you just

type in "The way back home" and wait for

the review to come up, or you can just type

in "The Way back home movie"  and a lot

info comes up.  Hope you can find a way to

see it cause it really was a terrific movie.

*

Actually I liked some of the reviews from just

typing in "the way back home movie" better.

Also, you don't need to use the parenthesis,

I only did that for your benefit.

*

We got Joey Saturday morning around 9am,

and we had a nice breakfast,  and just chatted

and read some and played with Joey. 

*

 Then I just said  to hubby, hey, 

 what do you think about starting

to take that bathroom wallpaper down,  and

hubby said sure why not!  Cause remember

we got the watercloset and shower area

done by November,  but now we have to

do the dressing room area.  Just thought

I never did show you the pics,  maybe

sometimes this week.  It is such a small

room it was hard to take great pics in

there,  but they came out pretty good.

I just forgot to post them.

* 

 So back to the wallpaper stripping......

 we started at about 3 and worked till about 5:30, 

 and we had made way more progress that I expected.

We only had one half wall left to do,  so we

stopped and had dinner (remember the Spinach

 Manicotti I was making on Friday) and it was really 

delicious I might add,  it was a Kraft recipe and very easy. 

 If  anyone is interested just let me know and I will post it.

*

After dinner we went back and finished it,  so the

whole bathroom is ready to be painted now. we were 

so happy it came down so easily.  It only took us about

 3 1/2 hrs.  all together,  so we are thrilled.

*

  We have to prime it first cause of 

the wall paper glue,  and also cause we are

gonna paint some of the dark woodwork

white.  I am sort of sick of all this dark wood

work after 30 years,  so I am very excited

about that.  We will still keep the dark

cabinets and doors tho,  they are back in

style now anyway!! lol

*

*

Here is what it looked like before we took the

wallpaper down.  I sort of hated to see the wall

paper go,  cause I really did love it,  but it doesn't

match with the bedroom anymore,  so it was time

to go bye bye!!

*

We have had those same mirrors for 30 yrs.,

but they have been every color under the

sun,  (lol) so I am excited that we have some

new square ones to put up when we finish.

*

*

Here's a better shot of the wallpaper.  I am gonna

miss my berry red in there.  But I know when it is

done I will love the new look just as well if not

better.  I am funny like that........I just have to 

get used to the new look,  it takes me a lil bit

anytime I do something new.  Are you like that???

*

I am really not thrilled about painting right now,

but I know once we get started I will be fine.

Cause I would really like to finish it before

Spring gets here since we are gonna have a

lot of yard work to do.  So ya gotta do what

ya gotta do,  know what I mean!!

*

Sunday we had a great morning at church

and afterward when for a "Chocolate Elvis"

which was crazy since it was cold,  but

it sure was good!!  Had some lunch, Scott

dropped by for a bit on his way to his

girlfriends house to watch the SuperBowl.

*

Hubby and I watched the SuperBowl too.

We really weren't rooting for either team,

but were happy for the Saints, cause they

probably needed something good to happen

for NewOrleans!

*
Oh Yea,  did you get to see the Tim Tebow
commercial???  If not,  just go to
 www.focusonthefamily.com
you can also see the interview they did with
his parents,  it is really good!
*
Then Scott came back about 10:30 and

got Miss Joey,  and took her home.

She would hardly let him out of the

house earlier,  she is so funny!

and the it was off to Beddy bye land.

*

Today I am planning for Valentines day

and working on cards still!

*

Hope you are having a good day,

and you are staying warm, especially

if you live where all the snow is right now.

*

Praying for you Girls,  I know you are

just getting a lil bit sick of this weather!!

But you know................It is because of all

this darn global warming!!  lol

*

Hugs and Blessings

Lovely Ladies,

Nellie
