What in the world would we do if we didn't have home and garden projects to do though? Seeing your broken into soffits makes me glad I have vinyl. Our old house had wooden ones too.

In our case, it's not so much the house (and I can't find the garden yet) but the truck.

One thing ALWAYS leads to another. Sometimes that very knowledge keeps me from moving forward on 'one thing' knowing it will involve three other things. <BR/><BR/>I guess when all is said and done with your projects you will be happier you tackled them. But I know how you feel wishing it was over and wanting your garden and home back to yourself. <BR/><BR/>Here's to the last domino to fall!<BR/><A HREF="http://www.hoeandshovel.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Meems @ Hoe and Shovel</A>Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-49711370208505450442009-03-18T12:16:00.000-05:002009-03-18T12:16:00.000-05:00Sherri...Thank you and i am very glad you decided...Sherri...Thank you and i am very glad you decided to comment!

Would you believe I am becoming an expert painter! No painting today, I'm off to a Senate Ladies' Luncheon (as a guest of a friend) of all things...!<BR/><BR/>I'm delighting on finally having my blog on Blogger instead of 360. For the time being the blog is about repatriation, but who knows where it will lead...one thing I've got to start doing is throwing my camera in my purse like I used to do in Hong Kong. There's lots of things to take pictures of in Austin, I just need to look. I should take some pictures of the house as it is being prepared for our habitation, but right now its SO disgusting...I've just been too close to the dirt I suppose!<BR/><BR/>Love you bunches, LynnLynn Nillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889149260448218282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-54389225197267028482009-03-18T07:26:00.000-05:002009-03-18T07:26:00.000-05:00Hello...I miss visiting with you guys....but soon ...Hello...I miss visiting with you guys....but soon that will be fixed...I have to get a new computer....once that task and transferring all data is complete..I can spend spring visiting your gardens!
