Even though there rarely seems to be enough progress you can see at the end of the day, I'm grateful to be doing what we're doing where we're doing it!<br /><br />Sparkless - Ha! What would I blog about? Maybe I could manage to get back into my quilt studio, actually do some quilting and get my quilting blog up and going again!<br /><br />Stephanie - Somehow, it's easier to tell someone else to be patient . . . ! ;o}<br /><br />Jane - I. Am. Not. Patient! Just ask my husband. (Growl, grumpf.) I, too, love a straight line. Well, it is the shortest distance between two points, right?

Since my husband doesn't move around the house anymore in fact he is totally dependent on me to help him [ shower ,make his meals etc]. This week Dan put new screen on patio door [ the kids thought that tiny hole was the door knob] and fixed the leak in the bathroom faucet,but found out by trial and error we needed a whole new faucet which he installed so proud of him-NOW -the electrical in the kitchen might be a little harder 1/2 done---yea to what you and I have accomplished so far.judynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-41982695581018312732011-06-15T06:26:30.375-05:002011-06-15T06:26:30.375-05:00I like a straight line!!

How I would LOVE to just get a project done in a reasonable amount of time. You appear so much more patient than I, Mama Pea.

I agree that life would be just that little bit more boring without those little surprises. <br /><br />I posted electrical outlets when we did our renovation but only because when we replaced them my dad couldn't believe that the old ones he took out still worked. They were old ceramic ones at least from the 1920 or 30's.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-20250632571539596862011-06-14T20:55:56.317-05:002011-06-14T20:55:56.317-05:00I agree, the straight line would be SO boring.

Why would we ever want that to happen. <br />And I so understand the problem of working really hard all day and not really have much to 'show' for it.<br />Keep it up. It will happen- we've been remodeling for the last two years and still aren't done.- not that you wanted to hear that!<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-70020297925026024072011-06-14T20:29:10.361-05:002011-06-14T20:29:10.361-05:00Mama Tea - Phew!
