I also haven't been on a lot. I still have the old, slow computer. I am glad to see new members. Welcome!!!

I miss you all when I am not on here. You are dear, dear friends.

What are you painting, Diana? Which rooms? I also have red walls. I love color!

I'm way behind, too. We've been busy with so many things lately. Cleaning to get the house ready to put on the market, taking care of the pets, working on my car, things for church. Just so much to do and I get on here to find 120 or more new posts. It's wonderful that things have picked up so, but I can't keep up, and feel that I'm missing some things.

Diana, we would like pics when you are ready to post them. One house we lived in had burgandy below the wainscoat in the dining room. That's as close to red walls as we've ever gotten.

I haven't taken pics of the car yet. It's been raining so that we havent' gotten the tire fixed, yet. Where it's parked, we can't get the lug nuts off without backing it out, so we decided to go ahead and change out the radiator, and now we need a new transmission cooling line which connects to the radiator. Ordered it on Saturday. So it will be a few more days before the car is drivable again.

The color I picked is called Redwood. It's so, so dark. I'm only painting one side of the living room but I have a couple of doors to go around. I'm a real profectionist when it comes to painting so that's part of the reason that it takes me so long, that and I just have so much going on that I can't work on it much.

I also have a small wall that I'm going to sponge paint with three colors, a yellowish light brown, green, and the red. I have some lamps that I painted like that a few years ago and I just love them so I'm going to do it on the walls. I will post pictures when I get done!!

Diana....please just get it done...I'm so anxious to see the pictures. I just know it's going to be beautiful.

I'm trying, Janet. I got some done yesterday, but then I had to go and get Daya at school because she was sick and the school couldn't get a hold of Amy. Then my car quit and wouldn't start again when I stopped to see if Amy was at home (she was out riding the 4-wheeler with Karlie) so I ended up taking her car to town to get Daya. After I got back Glen had my car going again but he wanted me to drive it around so I went to town to pick up a sack that Amy had left at Dollar General. When I finally got back home I only had about an hour to paint because I had somewhere else to go. This is how my days have been and why my painting isn't going very quickly!!!!! It's very fustrating!!!!

[Janet]

Wow....no wonder you're not done yet. It wore me out just reading your post. Think I'll go take a nap....lol

I don't have Karlie again today but I'm still too busy to paint! This is getting ridiculious!!! It's always something!!

We bought a wood burning stove the other day to go in the basement if the electricty is ever off and while we were there (It was an antique store) Glen saw a safe. Not a little safe but a huge antique one. It's really pretty but it's HUGE!! Well, he's always wanted a safe. Don't ask me why. Anyway the owner came down on the cost and since we were there with the tractor and a trailer to get the stove we just went ahead and and loaded up the safe too.

Then when we got home we had to unload them into the basement, again using the tractor. We were able to wheel the stove in but the safe is just barely in the door. It's going to take several guys to wheel it across the floor to where ever Glen wants it to be.

I told Glen that I'd have to buy some expensive jewelry so we had a reason to own the safe and put it to good use!! I thought it sounded like a good idea!!!

Anyway, I have 2 hours until I have to go to a volleyball game for the girls then I have a women's get-together at church. Always busy!!!!!
