Its all your own point of view

 

Life is good especially when your Granddaughters love to bake and bring you an order of Chocolate Chip cookies..:) Yes I love to bake too but currently I have no oven! Well yes, there is a tiny Gas range here but I had them disconnect the propane as I didn't want to deal with it and won't buy a new electric range until after Demo Day.  So yes I requested cookies and oh they didn't disappoint! Thank you Izzy B!

So today I did the laundry, went to the bank , the post office, got a new Library Card I don't think I've had a library card since I was in high school! So I got a couple books to read! I went to have lunch , the BLT here is amazing although I have them NOT use pesto on it, I can not stand that stuff!

While I was there I overheard a couple who were having lunch together easy to do since there were only a few people there. Anyhow from the conversation  I could attain that they both had recently lost their spouses. The woman was freaking out over the fact she needed to buy a new counter top.....I actually had to prevent myself from laughing out loud as I was wondering how she would handle what my project is! Thats when I really realized there are so many people who can see my vision and then others that have no clue and don't know why I would leave my beautiful home to live here! I came up with this. We all have our own point of view, we also all have our own poverty level, for some spending $10.00 is a lot of money, to others $100  etc etc.   The point of view, well for me why do I need 1750 square feet of house and 11 acres of land for just me? I don't!  My little house will end up around 700' and I have just under and acre of land here that i hope won't have much more than a postage stamp lawn to me . Its going to be perfect. Meanwhile while I wait for spring I am paoing the living/kitchen area just one more wall to go.

AFTER! amazing what a little paint does! 

BEFORE

After! So much brighter and cheerier! So glad I brought some paint from Eden as I wouldn't want to waste money buying paint for walls that are just going to get ripped down!  One more wall to go then I'll get back to organizing the garage . I've actually made good progress though.

Regardless? I'm feeling good, it was a good day, I actually slept 7 hours thanks to dr benadryl, the tarp over the garage door, and decided to read in bed instead of watching a movie and no loading up the woodstove after 6pm!
