T Stands for Two Weeks

Welcome friends to another Tuesday ......T-day post. Life has been a little hectic around here the past two weeks, so I wasn't able to get a post prepared last week.  BUT, I'm up early today to get a post in before taking off like a rocket again today............I just don't want to miss another T party with Elizabeth and the T-day gang.

With all the running around with the new construction.......checking this and that......meeting with contractor........making decisions on finishes we are often heading back about meal time.  Which can be quite convenient for me LOL! 

Last week, after a run to the new house to put our "OK" on something (trips are getting fuzzy)

We stopped and had dinner at a local Mexican restaurant.....Mauricio's.  I remembered to grab my phone and get a photo.  I had chicken fajitas, Bob had meatball soup, taco and an enchilada. 

I chose a margarita ( it had been a long day) and Bob had water to drink.

THE NEW HOUSE UPDATE

We are rounding one corner after another on the new house.  The tile man has been there this week to put tile in the master shower and guest bathroom shower.  THAT is why I missed posting last week......I had to meet him and our contractor to make final decisions on bathroom tile, after physical therapy.

So here are  a couple of photos of  last weeks progress.

We finally have front doors.  They are going to be painted high gloss black. I've gotten a lot of flack, from my family about painting them, but they were actually given to us :O and I want black front doors...............it's a looonnngg story.

Looking at the kitchen from the great room.  The island will be black as well as the french doors going to the patio and the pantry door.  Counter tops will be a white, with gray veins....marble LOOK, but will be a product called Dekton.  They had just put the primer on the cabinets, that's whay everything is open.

Standing behind the island an looking into the great room. I was there that day to "ok" the finish on the lone door standing there.

Standing in the kitchen looking out to the patio area......these doors will be black too.

43 years ago, when our house in Shafter was being built I wanted a black and white kitchen.  Well, that never happened.....but the look is back in style....sort of.... and I got my way this time! LOL!!

PHYSICAL THERAPY ( for those who are interested)

All is going really good with the shoulder.  I spent almost a week with a very stiff neck, but figured that out.  There is one stretch that involves some back clavicle muscles that will effect the neck.  I guess I got too gung-ho and did too many here at home.  When they say go slow, they mean it LOL!

I have a lot of improvement of motion, but still more to go.  I have PT today and Thursday and then I see the Dr. on Friday.  PT usually slows me down. After all the stretches I really don't feel up to much.  I usually come home, maybe pack a box or two and that's about all I'm good for......physically.

A LITTLE PLAY TIME

Our DIL has a birthday Friday........Valentine's Day.  She always says it gets lost between the flowers and hearts.  So I took her card in a different direction this year.

A gate fold card with a belly band.

The inside, the little pocket on the right will hold some birthday $$.

The Facebook group I'm in is doing a Valentine swap.

This is the card I made for my swap partner.

With shoulder problems it takes me a day or two to get them made.

COMMENT PROBLEMS

Well, I finally figured out the problem I was having when trying to leave comments.  I spent a couple hours trying this and that..............very frustrating time!!  I stumbled on to it by accident, somewhere in the tool settings. It had two blog addresses, one was blogspot.com and the other was whtt:/blogspot.com.  I deleted the whtt adress and wala! So, this week, hopefully I can leave comments......I already tried Valarie's blog, and it worked.

Well, my coffee is gone now and I've spent a lot of time here and it's time to get dressed and get out the door..........but first to link with Elizabeth and the T-Gang.

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED.
