My Bathroom

Our house is better organized and so am I now that my bathroom is at least as useable as it was before. We returned some things where they belonged after having them sitting everywhere during the repairs on the bathroom. It is not completed, but everything works by carrying water to it, and that is the way it was before anyway. Now we just have to carry water from the kitchen and that is more convinient!

Now many of the things that were sitting around because they were hastily taken out of my bathroom or repairs have been put where they belong, so the house is somewhat back to normal, whatever that is!

Here is another photo of our house after have organized it a little more, once the bathroom work was progressing. We found places to put most everything that was sitting around junking up the house. We carried things out in the living/dining room, sitting them down where ever there was a place, and now those things have been put elsewhere!

Carol talked about how happy she was that our house was straightened around enough, so that we could eat at the table. Carol and I never eat at the table, but at our easy chairs. When the kids were little a growing up we usually ate at the table, but now only when we have company. We had so much stuff sitting around from working on the house that we couldn't get at the table!

We live at 2800 feel above sea level, so often when it is raining in the valley, it is snowing here where we live. This was a very unusually early snow the last part of October. We were not prepared for snow, and my son-in-law groaned when he realized that it was snowing. That snow went off quickly, and then we got another snow after that, and it was about 2 inches.!

On the piano is something that Carol and our daughter made one day when she went over to the other house. They had a lot of fun, and they are quite into crafts, making various things by sewing, knitting and so on. They are natural at it, and they ahve spent a lot of time doing those things.

Now that's better.

Thank you, Red! The daylight hours are getting so short, and then daylight savings time goes to the standard time tonight, so it gets dark so early it is hard to get anything done. Just before I came in the house to eat my lunch, I finished the backfilling with dirt. Now I am going out to pour concrete, and that is something I can do after dark, as I have a light down there in the cellar. I am mixing rocks in with the concrete and pouring in every third hole in the blocks, to make a stronger pillar of concrete. I feel like I have too many things that need to be done, and I feel like they all need to be done at once, which is impossibe. I just have to do one thing at a time, get finished with that and then go on to the next thing. It will be worth it, and then one of these days I will have enough done, so that I will feel like I am caught up!

Seems a nice american style house, and nice place. It's mostly wooden, right?

What it is, mystic, is a double wide home, that they manufacture, and then put on axels and wheels, and tow it to your place, setting it up there. I bought it about four years ago, and it was a dump that I paid very little for, but it cost me a lot to have it moved and set up. It was a terrible place when we got it, broken windows, trashed doors, damaged floors from frozen and broken water pipes that cause the floors to swell and break apart. We did a lot of work on it early on. Then we had troubles with our kids who live here close to us, and nothing got done to it because we were too demoralized from all the trouble. I think it was their fault, and they think it was my fault, and really it was the devil's fault and people yielding to him.

Anyway it is mostly wood with with metal and wood floor joices. We have done a lot of work, and it is getting to be a very nice place to live. Feelings are much better with most of the kids, except for one daughter, and there is still some coldness and unfriendliness there, but Carol tells me to leave it to God, and she will answer to God for how she is, and I have to be careful to keep myself right because I am going to answer to God also. They are helping us, and I am working hard as well, and our daughter is nice to me from a distance now, so that is an improvement, and if she is not going to be nice, it is better that she stays away from here anyway. Terrible to feel that way about one of your own kids that you loved and raised, but she has become a very ugly, hateful, and bitter person, but I pray God will help her to change. Like I say she is nice from a distance, and the only communication we have is writing messages on facebook, if something needs to be said. Carol goes over there when necessary also, as they have not projected as much hate towards her as they have me.
