It turned out to be a completely wasted day.....only thing good about it was seeing all the fall colors on the trees and wouldn't you know I forgot my camera.....I could just kick myself.....to much going on for this little mind to remember....... even when we go over to the new house I forget it....so far all we've done is kilz the walls and woodwork......Joseph and Doug have done most of that I've been washing down the doors and trim and windows before they're kilzed..........we don't work on it but about two days a week we just aren't able to hold out to do it anymore... age has its downfalls doesn't it.
Back to the carpet my sister came by yesterday evening after she got off work and wanted me to ride to Huntsville with her so I did.......we went to Lowe's and I picked out carpet there.....they install a house of carpet for 97 dollars can't beat that.... they also will deliver the carpet.......so Doug doesn't have to do any lifting.....which I am really glad of .
They are going to call and set up a time to come and measure our rooms.........I can't wait for this to be done it makes me tired just thinking about it.
We also went to J C Penny's and they had a fifty percent sale off they're sheets and curtains....well almost everything in the store so I got me a king set and Alicia two full sets and Martha got a set of curtains for her living room.
Last night while we were in J C Penny's Alicia got a text message telling her that one of her classmates was killed in a car wreck........she was texting while driving and hit a wall of some kind and another child thaat was with her is in the hospital.....haven't hear how she is doing yet. Made me think of this picture I have.
I hate this but at the same time I'm glad she didn't hit someone else's child.
Have a good week end.....God Bless Trish

Sounds like you've had a lot of fun shopping for your new house. I'm so happy for you. It's a lot of work, but it will be worth it.
I'm so sorry to hear about Alicia's classmate. How sad.
I like that car with joke.
I bet you cant wait to get done with the refurbishing part of the house and on to the decorating part. Have a happy weekend.
I am so sorry about her friend - that is so sad.
Do you live in Georgia and did I know that? Dalton is about an hour from me.

I'm sure that having the carpet purchase out of the way is a big relief. Do you have any idea when you'll be able to get started moving to the new house?
I see people texting all the time while driving and it really angers me. They're not only putting their life in danger, but that of many others. Many of the people I see texting are adults. I'm so sorry about Alicia's friend. I'll be praying for the family.
I remember all the fun we had when we were building our house looking for carpet, doors, lights and different things.
I'm so sorry to hear about Alicia's classmate dying like that. I do hope that the other girl is alright and wish her a fast recovery.
Have a Great Day!

So sorry to hear about her friend, that is terrible. Everyone needs to put the phone DOWN while driving.
Hi Trish, Sorry you didn't find any carpet near Dalton..... Everyone used to go there all of the time for cheaper but good carpet..... I found a wholesale place up here when we got our carpet --and they bought theirs from Shaw in Dalton... I got a good price--but it sounds like you did also. Glad you got it all worked out...
I know you are going to love the new home--once it is all fixed up..
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy
