Life has been very busy around here Firstly we sold our dairy farm so had to move stuff from there, then we went to a house auction in town and I liked the house so hubby bid on it and we bought it for a retirement homeNow I am sure we will never live in it because Hubby is a workaholic and loves his life on the land and his animals, but one never knows what life brings
We still have a smallish beef farm where we currently live
Any way the house was filthy and I mean Filthy
Dogs inside and smokers
There was some debate as to whether the walls were white or cream under all that smoke I think you can see it in the photo
We have nearly finished cleaning and it has come up very nicely
Ripped up all the carpet and now hubby is laying ceramic tiles
We will soon have to look for tenants .No smokers or pets!!!
A little sewing has been managedMy friends and I spent a day making hangers for each bed at our local hospital
Another big job
And a journal cover for my sisters birthdayI have been visiting blogs too so keeping up with what you are all up to
Boy you sure have been busy,yes i know what you mean about hubby wanting to keep working,my hubby is the same,have a lovely day Illene.xx
ReplyDeleteYour life is by no means boring....hoping your next stage in life is adventurous as the last. Congratulations on your move.
ReplyDeleteWow! Busy lady! Yes, I also know what you mean about your DH. Mine was looking all set to think about retiring but now he has found a new lease of life and is planning to expand his business!
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly been working hard!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a little free time to spend with friends sewing. Like your journal cover. Don't work too hard! Nola
What a big difference all that scrubbing and cleaning made! It would have been very hard work though! I am exhausted just reading about it lol!
ReplyDeleteMoving from one stage of life to another can be stressful. But they can also be exciting, sounds to me like you are enjoying the excitement. I look forward to reading what the next chapter unfolds.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new way of life. We gave up the dairying 12 months ago now and traded the dairy for beef.Hubby still misses the early rising but has also found new interests. I find your blog interesting- keep it up.
ReplyDeleterather the stitching day than the cleaning day - but its got to be done...

ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot going on! Good luck with it all - sounds like that house needed a LOT of cleaning!
