Donnaslilspace: Getting things done!!!

Woo hoo......We finally got our tiled walk in shower finished!!!
It has only taken us nine months to finish, but we haven't actually been working on it the entire time. Mostly when hubby can be here to cut the tile for me and help carry buckets of water to help clean up the mess. It looks great and I'm so happy that project is finished. Now our heat/air unit is going out on us, so we are having a new one installed next week and my next project I want to get started is tearing out the stairs going to the bonus room and totally redo them. I've saved some pics of pretty stairways I have found in magazines and on the internet and keep showing them to Dwight so he will know exactly what I have in mind and not try to 'short cut' me *LOL*
Over Labor Day weekend we had a cookout here. Marci has been 'dating' Wes for about two months now and wanted him and Dwight to get to know each other better, especially since the last time those two were around each other was when they were both 17 years old and dating in high school. Chad has a new 'friend' now too so I invited her to come too, her name is Alicia and she has the cutest little 5 yr. old daughter. Her and Megan had a good time playing Just Dance on the Wii game most of the day. Marci invited Wes' mother to come along with them and although I could have choked her at the time she told me, everything worked out great and we all had a nice day.
I don't know what has gotten into Dwight lately, he is not one to get out of the house very much, but the last few weekends we have taken day trips to different places around town. This past weekend we rode up to Chilhowee Lake at the Foothills Parkway, this is at the entry to the Smoky Mountains National Park. The weather was beautiful so we took a thermos of coffee and the Sunday paper and sat out on the picnic tables under a huge tree in the cool breeze, nice & relaxing day. I had kept Megan the two days before because her Mom and Wes were gone camping, they had bought her a new tent, air mattress and the whole nine yards of camping things but she thought it was to hot and dirty at the campground and wanted to come stay with me......end of story!!!! LOL Can we say 'spoiled brat'
My real estate agent called me last week and wanted to know if we wanted to reduce the price on our house a little bit since there had been no activity on it the past two months, I told her that we would if she would have an Open House = ) She agreed so we went down on Saturday and Dwight mowed and ran the weed eater, while he was doing that I cleaned the inside and made sure everything was shining and ready for the showing this coming Sunday. Now, my best friend Cathy, had told me to get a statue of St. Joseph and bury it in the yard and that would help it to sell. So, I found them on the internet and ordered one, got it last week and while Dwight was in the front mowing, I went out back and dug a hole, buried my St. Joseph statue and said the prayer that was on the paper that came with him. Now I am keeping everything I can crossed that we can get this house sold and that burden off of us!!! Alright Cathy, you start sending up those prayers for me = ) I'll be sure to let you know if this works and you can bet I will be one more EXCITED lady!!!!!
Here's some pics I took of the 'ritual'
Here he is out of the package....
tiny little thing, isn't he?

Now the papers said to bury him upside down with his feet facing heaven and facing the house you want to sell and then say the prayer. So here he is being buried.....
