This Changed Everything

 

Well almost everything.

Just before Bob traded in the van,

He asked me to look at a goat sled 

he thought I would want to keep.

Well the sled was way too big for the house...

very primitive, and if I had a covered porch,

I would have kept it.

However I also spotted this table.

I asked him "where did this come from?"

He tells me he just got it out of our storage unit

and was going to use it for a display.

I immediately said it was coming in the house.  

Well then I had to re-arrange furniture

in our keeping room to fit it in.

Moved the tv where the couch was.

Placed the couch where the tv was.

Moved the hanging cabinet to the end.

Having a dog while trying to move things,

is like having a child around.

He was always getting in the way...

wondering what we were doing. 

This cabinet was next to the tv.

Finally this cabinet was moved under 

one of the windows so the cabinet above would fit.

The white cabinet remained the same,

but just turned on the other wall.

Finally the new table on this end.

We did have to take down our screen door

for this to fit...but it was unfortunately

ruined by Tundra going through 

the bottom of it one time when we

tried to keep him in this room.

So it had already been damaged when 

taking it down.

All that moving, but now I have

another table to decorate. :-)

In other news,

mom had to have emergency surgery

on Tuesday afternoon to place

a stent in her kidneys.

The mass she has was pushing on

her kidneys too much and it was

determined she needed this right away...

otherwise they would not be able to

continue with her meds in the IV.

It was my mom's decision to go ahead

with this surgery.

When the doctor called me and told me

about it, I was floored because I thought

we had to give consent.

My brother was the closest to the hospital

at the time and immediately went to put

the kibash on it, but my mom was alert

and told him she wanted to do it.

Well she made it through surgery...

and yesterday when I visited her,

all of her vitals were at normal levels.

None of us can believe this.

Also yesterday we were affected

by the smoke from the wildfires way up

North in Canada.

The smoke and haze was HORRIBLE.

It was like driving in fog in the daylight.

The sun was red in color.

It unfortunately is sticking around today too.

I can already see the haze outside. UGH

So not only do we have to contend with

the hot humid weather...

also now the smoke in the air....

and "Smoke On The Water" [Deep Purple]

There really is smoke on our river.

It's like a fog.

Everything Changes Blesssings To All!
