Remodel--Again

We are now underway with our porch/breezeway remodel. We are closing it in (building walls) to make it more of a 3 season room. I think I have the tile picked out, however I can still change my mind. The windows are here and one is installed with the idea that the other will be installed today--yay!! Josh has become quite the handyman. Of course, my thoughts are always thinking to what is next on the "project list". We took a break from it for a bit to do other things--like garage sale, landscaping, yardwork, etc...

May is a crazy busy month--I'm pretty sure for everyone!!! My brother graduates this week from HS. My parents are pretty excited--maybe even a little more than he is...he's not really one that is into the books/school thing. He is however looking forward to going to the local community college for some type of automotive courses--they aren't sure which one yet.
Aside from that this week, there is a long weekend which I know everyone is happy about. Josh is working so we will have fun the weekend after hopefully in Chicago and at the lake.
Only 13 days until the local pools open for the summer. We are glad. I hope the weather cooperates and brings us 80++++.

Tufsey "the cat" is doing well. He is sure to like his new digs when complete. He isn't too keen on the noise of the wall building so he runs off to hide by the honeysuckle vine and our neighbor's house. There is this mean cat that we call "Meany Mite" that always fights with him. Tufsey will defend himself, but he doesn't really start fights. Case in point, every day there are 2 robins that come up on the porch and eat pieces of his food from his dish--WITH HIM SITTING THERE! He either does nothing or maybe meows. It's the same robins each time. How do we know? Glad you asked...they have white markings on their heads.

The girls are happy to have nice weather. We have noticed that they are certainly ready for bed and sleep longer due to the extra activity of playing outside A LOT! They swing, jump on the trampoline, play with Tufsey, go on walks etc... I have a really cute pic of them walking in the rain under an umbrella, but it's on my phone.

Well, I have a house to clean and straighten before the weekend is through. I will probably watch a bit of the Survivor finale in between. I was once a faithful viewer, however have lost interest a bit in the past few seasons.
