HELP....I need two more pairs of hands

The project of the day is "tone on tone" striping!

I am finally finishing up our remodeling project that we started back in March....I think!  The one that began with rearing the bathroom apart & then spilled over into the hallway with new doors & floor.

Due in part to the busy season (work & summer) & my procrastination neither the bathroom or the hallway are finished!  If I was perfectly honest it has been a cop-out on my part as it it so easy to say "please excuse the mess....we're remodeling" but it was bugging the Popster so I decided it was time to get back into it.

After painting the walls with a flat enamel finish paint last weekend today I am marking out the stripes so they can be painted.  I have my Frog tape, level, ruler etc. but I have a feeling I do not have enough pairs of hands! 





Please wish me luck!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
