something different

My blog looks different and may look different tomorrow if I decide I don't like it.

On to something else.   My sister removed our old shower doors on downstairs bathroom.

The tub is an odd size and I am sure it dates back to the 70's.   The bathroom is dated and will be staying that way for a while until other more needed things are gotten out of the way.

Looks much better now with just curtains and I did not take a picture of the old doors.

She got the holes closed very well

This 'n' That for the past week

 Few Fall pictures before the Halloween pictures for the night.  This month is about gone.  Thanksgiving be here before we know it!

Side entrance.   I cut out this cat from foamboard and painted it.  It should be on a stick to make it raised a little higher.



Mums from plants purchased several years in a row.  I will have more to add this year.
This is what they looked like before bloom weeks ago

Catching up and home

 Where does the time go?  It's been a month almost since my last post.  We have been busy here getting jobs done that were set up months ago.  One being our kitchen organization and pantry.   

Our pantry combination linen closet in hall.  More room now in kitchen cabinets.

The doors instead of folding are now two doors with a magnet at top to hold them there.

Inside of pantry combination linen closet. 
 The drawers and shelving by Shelf Genie.  They are the best as far as I am concerned.   Extremely knowledgeable and very well-made product. 

Just to remind that pictures enlarge when clicked on

Room for brooms and battery vacuum in corner

  Old shelving taken out and standing in corner. A look ahead to kitchen. Corner cabinet next to oven is a new glide around unit and pull outs for a few other cabinets. So happy to have this done.
We need a new fridge I know, but this one still works for right now.  Grandchildrens art hangs there. 
The glide around has room on sides for things like lids and baking sheets with room at top for bulky items and I will use it for some cooking pans.  

Perfect place for my toaster below

Kitchen cabinets and space now
Later in evening after organizing, well actually I am not no where near finished with that.  Grandchildren made Chicken and gleasons   It cleaned up well afterward and they enjoyed helping.
Guess who cleaned up this mess?   Me..  It's easier for me to do it and they both agreed. 

This is true

All in all, this little sign made by my great niece says it well.


Getting my fall pics inside in order to post, hopefully this evening. 

Almost forgot to mention 😶
Going on at the same time is a fresh coat of paint in the den.  Always something to have to get done. 

Today Friday's brunch is homemade cheese, broccoli, my dried tomatoes and green pepper quiche
😋
