Yes, the ceilings are done, and just look great, and most of the wall painting is done.

I spent the day yesterday, cleaning. I just couldn’t go any further with the painting with the house so messy, I mean EVERY SINGLE room in the house was not just a mess, but a disaster. Took me 5 hours just to get 2 bedrooms, the kitchen, and dining/living rooms put back together. I still have the big bedroom to do. Then I’ll get back to painting. Then I will move outside, and start cleaning out the shop, cleaning up the property, painting the garden fence, finishing up planting the garden, etc....Once everything outside is done, THEN I will put in new carpeting...I’ve set my goal as having the house on the market by July 1.

Whew... that’s a lot of work.

We want to do some severe deep cleaning this spring and have a garage sale. Really de-clutter and get rid of extra stuff we don’t need to own and furniture pieces that are wrong and get the right things...

While it’s emptied out, I’ve thought it would brighten things up to paint in here... We’ll see... ;~)

My house looks that way. I need to take a weekend off and clean, but I just can't make myself do it. I'd rather go riding!

Kari and I are getting all geared up for our ride this weekend. I guess we'll leave sometime Friday morning, but they're giving a 40% chance of storms on Friday and a 60% chance on Saturday morning, so we're probably going to get wet. Nothing like camping in the rain! I'm taking the big trailer that we brought to your house, just because I'll have more room for my stuff, but it leaks, so I'll have to bring plenty of plastic to cover stuff with. Kari found me a cot with a mattress so I'm going to set that up in the back of her trailer and sleep back there. Hal's going this time, and their living quarters only sleeps 2, but at least I'll be dry.

I'm taking Bob and Hope and will alternate riding them so they both get some exercise and nobody gets too tired. Kari was planning on taking Faith and Daisy and riding them both, but Faith cut her front leg real bad yesterday out in the pasture and had to have stitches so she won't be able to ride her for several weeks. She'll have to bring her along though just so she can give her her meds and doctor her wound. It's bad that it happened at all, but especially now. Kari was really looking forward to riding her on this particular ride, so she's just fit to be tied.

Girlfriend, you got your work cut out for you! I am impressed you have gotten so much done already!
