Winding down our NY time

Well, the kitchen is just about done.  Bob is painting it today.  Some trim needs to be completed also but all in all, it will be done this week.  The bathroom project is well under way.  We are hoping it will be done by this weekend, but it may not be totally completed.  We are going to have Easter dinner here on Sunday, so I will have to clean the house from all this remodel dust from the bathroom!  Again! :-(
I think we are going to push ahead the "open house" as well.  Guess I'll know by Wednesday or Thursday and can make a decision then. 
We will be in Gainesville on April 13th.  We'll fly Jet Blue into Orlando and have Melissa pick us up.  Sebastian should be there also.  We'll stay with Carol Lee for a few days and are going to try to go to Westside for church on Sunday before we head over to Panama City.
I may have a potential job lined up for the end of June.  Will have to see what God has in store!

Yard Sale!

Well, we just had Day 1 of the yard sale at my brother's house!  Wow, what a day!  We were out there from 8am-3pm.  We had a beautiful day to have the sale---it was 72 degrees and sunny.  So we're going to have it another day and see what we can sell.  This was a spur of the moment decision to have a yard sale since the weather was gong to be so nice.  So we took advantage of it.  The basement is pretty much cleaned out! 
John, my other brother, "demo'ed" the bathroom, so it's just about ready for its remodel this coming week.
We are planning on having an open house, and a belated anniversary party in 2 weeks on the afternoon of Easter Sunday.  Everything should be done by then!
Our date to leave here is April 13th.  We will fly to Orlando and then onto Gainesville.  We will stay there for a week then head to Panama City for awhile while we try to find jobs.  We'll stay with my friend, Diane.  It's also where Sebastian is staying with our cats.
Sebastian found a job working through a workforce for Walmart.  It's an okay job for him to make some steady money, so he's happy for that.  That's about all for now...

Month of March already!

The kitchen at my brother's house is almost finished.  The countertops should be in sometime next week and then the sink will be set.  The cooking range will be hooked up to gas early next week also, so at least we'll be able to cook better.  Hopefully my brother, John can put in the kitchen floor this weekend.
Other jobs around the house are also getting done---mainly all the painting by Bob.  One of the upstairs bedrooms will be done later today.  Also, probably the stairwell and landing.  Window treatments are coming in next week.  It was hard to decide on something that was not too costly, was pretty and practical as well and easy for my brother to keep clean!  I'll post some pictures when we are done.
The weather will be warmer, like spring this weekend, but we are not counting on winter being over just yet!  Our plans are to go back down to Florida probably the second week in April.  We plan to visit in Gainesville as well as Panama City.  We are looking for jobs for me as a nurse practitioner with temporary status so we'll see how that works out....
