Twenty-one years in the making. When you have a house that is 140 years old, your to-do-list piles up. See that upper right window? That has been a Plexiglas window since we moved in here 21 years ago! EVERY stinkin' year we had it on the 'list'. Today, Glen gave me the honor of knocking it out. I almost peed my pants with excitement. I feel weepy now. Oh how I've waited. Ohhhhh how I've waited.
Patience is a virtue.
I know what you mean. Our house is over 100 years old also and so many things need to be done,but so little time. and money. Mostly money, because if I had the money I could hire to do the things even if I didn't have the time. get it?

It's glass now? Hum.. I'm glad for u. Been in that boat a million times. What's next on the to do list?
ReplyDeleteI've lived in a couple of old houses and you never get through with the to do list! You're making progress though! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, Rhon and Carol...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. Glenco has been diligently working on the front outside windows. I've had a relapse and I'm sick again!! So, I'm doing what I can inbetween rest breaks. I had such high hopes for the weekend. The list is never ever ever done. Oh well...no worry about ever being bored!
Oh those lists of thing to do can be so challenging. Great~new window...yipee! Sorry you are sick again. Rest and take it easy.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to you next post. Dogwood
Praying that you get better; I adore your clock! Vintage? Retro? LOVE your wall color and the white moulding (I think that's what it's called). Horray for getting the window done....it's always something, isn't it?! Hugs, Leslie
ReplyDeleteHi Dogwood! Thanks for stopping by. I'm hoping to get a new post up today about my camper. :-)
ReplyDeleteLeslie..thanks for the prayers. I never rest, and I guess that's why I never get better!
I'll be posting more pics of the house. I need help decorating the top of my entertainment center.....:-) The clock is SO cool. Retro I guess. it's that blonde veneer.
Jayme, Sorry to hear that you are sick again. I just love your house! You really have a talent for decorating. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteCynthia..thanks for stopping by! I appreciate the compliment. I do love to decorate. It's a lot of work for me though. Sometimes it seems easy, but I tend to obsess. :-)
ReplyDeleteA house is like a heart with each chamber full of memories of bygone days.
