do we get to see pictures of the do overs in the house?  hope so....

Morning Susan.  I enjoy the flowers others plant.  The contrast must not look so great.  Guess we are all getting the warmer temperatures and rain.  I saw a rain front passing through Kitty's area also. 

Think they are having a drought there so rain is good.

I'm getting some of the maintenance done on vehicles and mowers but can't put the Monte Carlo SS on the road for the Summer, DMV for registration is closed until  at least the end of May.

Had to go to Lowes to return a screen that's to small yesterday and get some gravel cover.  Was a pain to try to talk to people through a mask.  Got everything done.  Have to go to the Farmer's Market this morning to get laundry detergent for us and mother in law.  Everyone likes it because it doesn't require softener and only costs $7 a gallon.

I just got some bird seed.  We have 5 feeders in the front and rear of the house.

Have a great day.

Monte SS

Hi Kitty ~

Sure, I will share soon.  A bit of a problem loading the pictures from the cell phone to the HP but I will try soon.  We continue our journey ~ Megan and Dan worked two week end days with the plank floor to really get us going.  The kitchen and part of the foyer were complete and today, Jim and I continued on with the closet, foyer and into the half bath.  The kitchen is finished except to purchase a new ss microwave (maybe special deals on Memorial Day) and a brushed stainless steel backsplash.  

We may take a break of one month before the carpeting in great room gets ripped out and the we put the plank flooring in place.  Phew...just shows you what two seniors can really accomplish if given the time.  And besides, what else is there to do?

Restrictions lifted but we are hardly in any hurry to resume inside restaurant activities or Mass.

How is life on Sanibel  I can't imagine that many tourists will be flocking down this summer....but maybe they will...

((hugs))  Susan

Hi Ernie,

Really cute picture of your granddaughter and a very very cool car for those of us who indeed remember the Monte Carlo models.   Did I ever tell you the 1972 MonteCarlo story?  Probably.   We were married in 1969 and managed to save the 20% downpayment on a brick home.  Prior to finding the home, Joe had ordered a brand new green MonteCarlo......I was always "cautious" with money and I thought that the payment of the mortgage and the car would be too much.  He surprisingly agreed and the dealership gave us our down payment back.  Bummer...  The children didn't arrive until years later...so it would have been do-able to have both.   

Salmon on the grille, Bob Evans mashed potatoes and broccolli for dinner.   Better get started.  Finally, finally, a lovely day here with NO rain.  We have had more than enough.

Susan

Dear Cherie ~

The rain has stopped (finally) and this afternoon has turned into a very lovely day.  I will "huff and puff" and send this weather along to you and Ernie ~

The grass is very green and very tall.  The lawncare guys will come swooping through tomorow and take care of it all.

Hoping all is well with you.  Tell us again where you reside.  Pretty sure in the Pittsburgh, Pa. area.....

Susan

Ah yes they are....just took off a blue sparkle that last for almost 3 wks...and now this....

Morning Susan.  We probably did have the Monte Carlo discussion long ago, I don't remember either.  Our parade after our wedding , in 1974 was in my wife's aunt's Monte Carlo.  It was probably fairly new.  We didn't attempt to buy a new or used car in our wedding year.  We did get a new Monte Carlo in 1985 but wasn't this SS, was a Sport Coupe.  I was trying to find a SS but couldn't.  That was before the internet had blossomed into what it is now.  I still have the 1984 Sport Coupe, waiting for me to fix it and put back on the road.  I sold it to a friend but he never registered it or transferred the title, I bought it back.

Think I already wrote, my daughter got a dog and it has kennel cough or something similar and she doesn't want to leave it alone.  So we haven't gotten together with our grands yet. 

Tropical storm might give us some rain in a forecast that was finally rain free.  Guess Ohio is getting much more than we will.

Looks like Cherie hasn't been on since last Wednesday.

Have a great day, good job on the house.
