Homestretch

We are down to painting the trim in the master bedroom. The wall straight ahead on the top picture is new. It used to sit further back and had 4 bypass sliding doors that were for the closet. By pulling out the wall 18 inches we now have a walk-in closet that is directly across the open doorway of the bathroom that you see in the back corner. We also gained a linen closet as well. And now the new wall is long enough for a king sized bed (as previously described).

Other Homestretch Happenings:

For Whitley:19 days of school left, with lots of fun days in between. Last week they had safety day at school and she got a new bike helmet for summer, and she went to see FLAPPER the musical. This week there is Teacher Appreciation Day on Monday, Spring Concert on Tues. and Field Day all day Friday.

For John: This will be the last "weekend" he will spend on the remodeling in our house. He has a full-time "helper" starting this Tuesday, because his dear wife will be finished with the semester and can devote even more time to helping. We plan to shampoo carpets on Wednesday and move back in our room. He has this coming Saturday and Sunday off: 1) to watch Whit as Jamie goes to the State & Congressional Assembly 2) We are standing up with our foster daugther and her family for her baptism this Sunday.

For Jamie: Studying tomorrow and all day Monday. My last final exam starts at 6pm (Mon. eve.) and goes to 9:30 pm. It is my most difficult exam so I will be glad to have this behind me. I am glad to help John finish up the room and get back in it. I'm excited for more days to volunteer at school. I am doing the bake sale and spring concert Tuesday and helping with Field Day on Friday.

Like most of you, there are lots of graduations, weddings and end-of -the-year events to go to in May & June. It's amazing how fast time goes by and how quickly young children grow into men and women!
