Chop, chop, chopin’ away over here. Over the weekend, Bobby worked on getting some trim work finished on the crown molding and I must say he did a wonderful job! I worked on getting some more painting done as I painted the white door that leads from the house to the garage. The paint on the other side of the door was pretty scuffed up but now it looks brand new. I also painted some windowsills and baseboards. We’re diligently working to have things ready for the virtual tour of our home this week and hopefully it will help generate the sale.

While Bobby and I were out working in the garage, we heard the old familiar sound of the ice cream man coming our way. Bobby asked “How would you like some ice cream” and with that he ran out to greet the Ice Cream Man. Come to think of it, I can’t even remember the last time we purchased ice cream from the Ice Cream Man. I must have been a kid. We were right in the middle of our project so we put our ice cream in the freezer and forgot all about it. This morning I asked Bobby if he had his ice cream and he forgot about his too. Question is, “How can anybody forget about ice cream?” I have no idea, but we did.

Bobby purchased another piece of furniture for me this Saturday. The furniture that we purchased back in April for the family room did not come with a sofa table that I so desperately wanted. Bobby and I scoured the Fort Worth and Dallas area several months ago looking for a close match. One day Bobby surprised me as he found just the right match for our set. The only problem was, we didn’t particularly like the price tag on it. Bobby gave the sales lady our phone number and asked if she would call us when it went on sale. So, the nice lady called a few weeks ago to let us know it was 15% off. We were not interested and decided to wait. Then she called Friday to say it was marked 35% off and that the floor model was the last one left. Bobby told her that we would take it. We went to the store and were so happy to see that the sales lady had even put a tag that was marked SOLD on that piece of furniture. That’s the kind of sales lady we like, taking such great care of her customers.

Today I’m off to Hobby Lobby and Tuesday Morning to look for some pretties for our new sofa table. I already have a lamp for it but it still needs a little oomph. I also have some more painting to do in the garage and I’ll also be running the steam cleaner to hit a few small spots in the house. Things are taking shape and coming together over here.
