Cleaning Interruption

Well, here's my computer desk before I began cleaning. As you can see, it is quite a mess. It was much better after the first day; however I forgot to take a picture. More pictures coming next week.
Here's another shot - pathetic, isn't it?
This is the interruption to my cleaning. Dad started painting the house on Saturday - we got the front painted on Saturday and finished on Monday. Today we finished the east side, except for a bit of the trim work. It's really beginning to look very nice. Tomorrow dad will start on the west side very early because we can only paint there until about noon because then it is in full sun. We haven't started much before noon until now because it seems like we've had things to do each morning.


I know all of these pictures are of dad painting but I have been helping him every day. It's just that I'm taking the pictures.
Aunt Sue came two days in the afternoon for a while and sat in the lawn chair and visited with me while I slaved away. It was her suggestion to paint the garage door the same as the house so it would just sort of blend in. It was a great idea and it really looks much nicer than if we had painted it the trim color. Plans are to paint the front step a darker gray and the front door a bright red. What do you think of our color palette?
Remember, we were a bit concerned that the paint looked purple but as we continue painting, it's definitely a gray.

Well, that's it from the Haan Household and besides it's time for bed. I am more than ready for bed by 9:00 - my poor body aches every night but by morning, I feel pretty good. Yesterday we even got our gym exercise time in. Today we did not. I had to take Grandma in to get her eyes checked and dad had a doctor appointment too so we didn't get started until noon again.

Tomorrow is mammogram day - lucky me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a super week - love to all of you.

PS: Wanna come help us finish painting on Saturday?
