mmmm, plain spaghetti
Yesterday the sun came out around 2 and stayed bright and breezy, t-shirt weather! I saw a couple convertibles with the tops down and heard a lot of bikes cruisin’ around. Very tempted to put the top down on my Jeep, but I know from past times even though it’s warm, I’ll freeze my ass off at highway speeds… This week is supposed to be in the seventies every day the latter half, so watch out Spring fever rules may go into effect… I bought a couple 25 pound bags of grass seed to try and plant a lawn where I now have only dirt (like 2/3 of my yard) and am not looking forward to all the work it will entail. Raking out all the ruts and picking out all the stones, forget about the piles of gravel the construction guys just ground into the yard… What a nightmare, but since we aren’t getting any rain for a few days, I’ll wait on the planting, maybe just do the prep with Sam on one section today.
I did get the second coat on the ceiling in the cottage, and I installed the ceiling fan, the high-hat eyeball trim, the track lights, and the smoke detector, so the ceiling and lighting are out of the way. I also got the end caps for the baseboard heat so it’s all finished.This week I’ll pour the concrete in the bathroom floor, attempt to lay ceramic tiles in there (first time, wish me luck) and then I’ll be able to concentrate on finishing the bathroom. I also want to finish taping the closet, install the shelving system in there and put the closet door and trim on. So it will be a busy week.
In the evening Grace came up and we cooked dinner. Just plain spaghetti with olive oil and butter, she sauteed some broccoli with oil and garlic and I made a salad of just romaine and shredded carrots, she made her delicious vinaigrette. Then we had a pot of my famous coffee. I’m taking to calling any coffee I make “my famous coffee” as everyone loves my coffee, I have friends that only want to visit for a pot of my java. Hmmm, what does that say about my personality? hehe, oh well … After dinner Sam bleached his hair, it looks good. His friend John T. came by and he had a plate of spaghetti. I like that kid, he always eats whatever I offer him when he stops by around meal time. Must be the greek grandmother in me I guess. OK, I’m going to finish my coffee (yes, the famous kind), get dressed and start working on raking and leveling the yard. I’ll take pictures and post them later so you’ll get an idea of what I’m up against, when I say that guy destoyed my yard and driveway, I’m not kidding! K, enjoy the day boys and girls!
