Seriously!

I am thinking seriously!  Has it come to that!

Yes, yes it has.
I know, who could get excited about a sink? I can't tell you how excited I was to find out, I could have a full size sink.  Mobile homes come, with tiny, little one dish sinks.  When the contracor asked me, why I wanted him to put back the tiny sink, I really didn't know I had a choice.  I thought the tiny sink was there for a reason!!

It was off, shopping for a real sink. So yes, I am excited about a sink.


My next most exciting moment has been
faucets in the bath.

The ones already there started leaking.  It was soon a full gush.

I called a pluming company, that came and
told me those faucets were no longer available.
They would have to tear out the wall behind the tub, and install new plumbing to the tune of $1,200.00
I had no clue what to do! I didn't think about my son being a builder and having a plumber.
  That is a duh moment.
Well. my son heard my problem, sent his plumber.



Ta-da!

$300.00
are those not the prettiest faucets?


Who knew this adventure could be so exciting.

Another step done!

One more step

We have been working to fix up a mobile home.
Many set backs have happened along the way, but we 
were able to take one more step and get the cooktop
replaced.

Before:

We had just finished the back tile when this picture was taken

After:

You would think I could hold the camera straight!
Here she is, in all her beauty.

Next will be the microwave, as soon as I find one I love.

Not A Master Chef

Basic food here:

I married a very fussy eater, so I didn't venture out much with food.
I learned to put onions through the blender, before adding them to
recipes.  A ,what you don't know,  wont be complained about.
His mom was a wonderful cook, and I always over ate,  when we
went to her house for dinner.
In fact she made the first tacos I ever had!  Even making her own tortillas.    At the time Mexican food was not popular in our state, and they had moved here from California.

Well!! 
I ventured out and tried something, I made up!

I had some chicken thighs, I had some honey mustard
dressing (because I love it).

Put the honey mustard dressing, over the chicken thighs
and baked
Oh my golly, that was the best chicken thighs I have 
had in a long time.

So good, I had to take a picture!

VISITING

I love visiting, other bloggers homes. I have so many favorites and will take some time to share those with you, so you can visit also.  
You might already know of these you tubers.
I like to start my day off with Olivia
of Olivia's romantic home.


Today she started out with a home tour.
She has such a cozy home and that means so much to me, as I try to make my space cozy.
Olivia, is a lot of fun, does some fun DIY projects, mainly using items for the dolla r tree.

Lot of fun, during this stay home
time.
You would think it would be hard to find DIY's when you have to stay home, but she has made it all work.

Computer problems

Computers

I didn't realize how much my life now revolves around a computer. 

Then I started having problems and the old one was not worth trying to save.  So, now on a new computer with a learning curve!!  Yikes.

All my "things" need to be put back in-
All my pictures need to be recovered.

Just lets me know how much life now is all
on a little box on the desk.

I still journal, so will share some of my thoughts 
in a later post.
Just wanted to drop by and keep my 
resolution of writing daily.

Celebrating a birthday is always fun. and even more fun when we can get the boats together for the party.
