HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! GOOLISH GREETINGS TO ALL!!!!!!!

We had another tip on an old duplex going to be torn down. So I tracked down the owner and asked him if it would be alright for Jayd and I to look around and see if there was anything we needed for our house in there. He said go ahead and all he wanted for it was a case of beer. I can do that! So Jayd and I tore into this place and got a few doorknob, window trim and base. I was hoping the wood floor would match but unfortunately it did not. I am posting a pix of the duplex so you can see why they are going to burn it down.

Nothing.......

This week and last we have had noting going on. Jayd is finishing up his building he is doing so he should be around more. We have been enjoying the hot tub enormously. We have been trying to sit in it every night. I sold the old hot tub and have not had any phone calls from those people to the old tub must be working ok for them.

In a few weeks Jayd and I are going to a comedy show. It will be nice to get out for the night.

It's a hit!

Jayd was really surprised. He didn't even have an inkling that anything was going to happen. I had the kids make him look at "something in the sandbox" and he looked right at it and never saw it till I said "look over there and pointed". I even gave him a thank you card for working so hard lately and telling him that we appreciate him when I am sure sometimes he doesn't think so.

I filled the tub and did the chemicals but the water was only 62 degrees yesterday and today before I left for work I checked it and it was 95 so it should be to 101 by tonight when Jayd and I want to sit in it for the first time. I will have pix to post on Monday.

Less than 24.........

Counting down for the big surprise. I am so excited I can hardly wait. World Wide is suppose to be showing up at 12 or a little bit after tomorrow to bring our new hot tub! First I have to go to school with Reese and have hot lunch, then home so I can be there when they show up.

I will post on Friday to let everyone know how it turned out. If I get pix I will post those also.

SHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a secret. I am going to be surprising Jayd on Thursday (13th) with a hot tub.

We went and looked at a slightly used one on Sunday at Worldwide and it turned out it was the same one we had looked at last spring. Some guy had it and they said he was a rather "Large" guy. He was too small for the tub so he had it maybe 3 months and traded it for a bigger one.

I guess his loss my gain. It is the perfect size for us. We wanted one that was not so large but you could have 3 or four people in it if you wanted to. They said they would give me the full warranty and stuff, so I thought I could not pass it up.

I am so excited to be doing this for him, he has no idea and he has been working so hard lately I really wanted to do this for him. He has been talking about fixing the old one again and I didn't want to throw any more money into it and be disappointed when we got it all set up and running and the pipes would burst.

I hope now that we will have an awesome tub to relax in he will slow down a little bit and enjoy life.

Remember if you see him..........Don't say anything because it is suppose to be a surprise!

P.S. Happy 80th Birthday today Grannny!!!!!!!!
