Angel came early today for her cleaning.We finished our dominos game and she beat me. Then she cleaned while I took nap. Then Angel came when she got off work.We just ordered pizza.
Brianna texting with Roxie staying close by

And Rebekah sent me this pic of Abigail with her pants on her head.Normal for a little one to do. It is a little dark

We have decided to pull our carpet up and put down tile. Well Bill will do it a little bit at a time.Will get a pretty center rug for middle of room. We or rather I have been talking about getting a new carpet but think this will work better. Bill has been wanting to do it.
So glad election is over. Can't believe some of remarks being made. People saying they are moving to another country. I say go and don't turn back.

We got rid of our carpet and Ashley put down floating floor. We love it but do have some throw rugs around. Report Inappropriate Comment

"Don't let the door hit you in the rear" is the vernacular for anyone who smarts off like that. You will get a lot of agreement on the last remark you made. Report Inappropriate Comment

Anyone who would move to another country because their candidate does not win can go with my blessing. Report Inappropriate Comment

Good pics Eleni! Rolly would love to pull up our living room rug and just keep with the hardwood floor beneath it, it is beautiful but I feel cosy with the rug. Aw well, maybe one day. Have a great day Eleni! Report Inappropriate Comment

Hi Eleni !! Sounds like you have a great suppotive family .. and I agree with pulling carpet up and having tile. Its so much easier to clean and much less dust . I am glad the president got back in .. We in Australia really like him and have faith in his ability to get things done .. Nothing happens over night or in 4 years now he has another 4 years I am sure things will be much better for all the free world . Love the Photos ... Hugs Susie Report Inappropriate Comment

PATRICIAANN46 11/7/2012 8:46PM

Hi Eleni......... Very cute pictures of your girls. I spent part of the afternoon with 11 4-year-olds. They were so funny. When I taught, I spent most of my day with High School students. This was quite different, but lots of fun. I like your idea re: the carpet. We got rid of ALL of our carpeting and put in hardwood floors in all but the kitchen and bathroom areas. We have area rugs in the living room and I really like the look. I agree with you re: the election. If we, as Americans put even half the effort into working together for our nation that we put in on fighting between the parties, we would be so strong that no one would threaten us. The terrorists don't have to worry about weakening us.........we do a great job of doing that on our own. Later........ Patti Report Inappropriate Comment

Hi Eleni....... I am glad to hear that you had another good day. I am sure that Bill's brother's wife is very appreciative of Bill's help. That means a lot when you have spent hours in the hospital. We live out in the country, so there is no such thing as having to wait in line to vote. It was all over in under 5 minutes. I can't imagine NOT voting...........it is definitely a privilege. The black cat in your pictures looks exactly like one we had for 17 years. Isn't it great to have the TV on WITHOUT the political ads?????? Later......... Patti Report Inappropriate Comment

Hi Eleni........ It is good to hear that you are having a good day and that Bill's brother is doing better. I love the pictures of Roxy.......don't you wonder what you ever did without her? They certainly do become real members of the family. The dancing was great last night, except for Kirstie who needs to GO!!!

Hi Eleni......... Knowing you, you will have an arrangement in the Butterfly garden that you will get as much, if not more, enjoyment from. Also, you had mentioned keeping the Hummingbird garden and butterflys will appear there too. I hope that Bill's brother is doing well. Your first picture and comment are certainly the truth...........If only it were as easy to get skinny as it is to get fat!!! Have a great week. Patti Report Inappropriate Comment
