It's Monday in Paradise
On Sat. morning before I left to meet Kip and Teri at Ruban Rouge for our Elsie Flannigan class, my daughter, Kristen assisted by my favorite (and only) son-in-law, Chris fixed me a wonderful breakfast. It was such a lovely morning, all cool and breezy, that we ate outside. She used a bunch of her Pampered Chef stuff. She is attending nationals for PC and is almost a director in addition to teaching full time.
And, for some odd reason, here is the same picture again! LOL. The kids have been restoring this house for the past two years. They bought it cheaper than it should have been as it had been totalled inside. The man who owned it beat his wife (the walls were the proof), grew and processed drugs (hooks everywhere in the ceiling), and who knows what else. The kids have done an amazing job in a short amount of time. The big job now is the master bath which had to be gutted as it was infested with mold. Not too much longer and it will be done! Yeah.
I'm planning on doing a big bunch of whatever I feel like doing today. I need to move some laundry along but am feeling industrious and may scrap my fingers to the bone. Have a great day all!

That is such a good picture of your kids that I didn't mind at all seeing it twice. Sounds like a wonderful Mother's Day for you, Jules. And, quite a weekend of fun. How did you like Elsie's class?

Just a quick comment -- I happened upon your blog by clicking from here to there to everywhere, so it is just happenstance that I saw your entry. You mentioned that the previous owners to your kids' home had "processed drugs" -- if that meant he had a meth lab, please beware. Occupants of former meth labs have been known to contract some very severe illnesses due to residual invisible contaminants. And not all states are required to disclose any of this to the buyer. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to have the house checked for meth-related contaminants. Or at least check for more info on the web.
