A NEW PROJECT – OK

Yesterday I met with my son, ex DIL and an experienced man about our senior home. He had a lot of wonderful ideas for us. We were talking for three hours. I am planning to work with my ex DIL to get the place moving and grooving. There are many "little" things that can and should be done to make the place more appealing. I hope I didn’t take on something I won’t be able to manage. Of course the main problem is that I go away for the winter and we have little money to invest. I will do as much as I can before I leave and maybe help through email if I can. I don’t plan to discuss much with my other son who initially bought the place as he is preocccupied with his new life. I will probably go back there on Tuesday. Before I do I want to rewrite my notes and maybe add some ideas. Then I will meet and discuss everything with my DIL.
She worries about her future. I discussed the situation with my hubby and he told me I can reassure her that we will do our best to keep the place as long as there starts to be a profit. I am sure she will be relieved.
The home really needs some sprucing up. I will do some simple things like new bathmats and buy covering for "holes" in the walls. The bathrooms are sparse so will look into decorating them. We also just have to put some of his ideas into effect like table cloths for supper time etc.
I am watching FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. I saw it many years ago and was thinking of going to see the musical in Toronto.
I AM STILL GOING ON THE TREADMILL FOR FORTY FIVE MINUTES AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
I AM STILL NOT EATING AFTER SUPPER.
I AM STILL TAKING MY GRANDSON ONCE A WEEK AND TAKING MY OTHER TWO GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK.
I AM STILL PLAYING CLUB PENGUIN.
I STILL WORRY ABOUT MY HUBBY’S MEMORY.
I STILL STRUGGLE NOT TO OVERSPEND.
I AM STILL WORKING ON MY DAUGHTER’S SCRAPBOOK.
Yesterday was hubby’s birthday. He doesn’t need or want presents so we didn’t do anything. We did go out for supper.
Sunday night begins YOM KIPPUR and then all day Monday. The kids are coming for supper Sunday so I have to prepare. I am not sure if I should cook and bake on Saturday or wait until Sunday. Usually I do things at the last minute but tomorrow I have nothing so maybe I should do some preparation. I will decide in the morning.
I know I want to go on the treadmill tomorrow as I didn’t today. I also want to rewrite my notes from the senior home meeting.
Thank you for all your suggestions about my friend and her daughter. I also appreciate the ideas for my other problem. Paint liners it is!!!!!
So off to read some of your entries. I have fallen way behind. Too busy with life and Club Penguin.

You are still doing many good things for yourself. Yea!

Good for you for doing healthy things for yourself and for your family.

Do you ever get to watch home improvement television programs? We have HGTV through satellite TV and there is always some inexpensive “fix up” that I learn from watching them; really cute and affordable decorating ideas, too.
