Just a quick update!
Comments (41)Thank you all so much for your messages. In case any of you hear the song "I'm so excited" from the Pointer Sisters anytime soon, that's been my theme song this week! I figure I have a long wait (it seems to me) until my doctor's appointment but God is teaching me to be patient through all of this, it's a lot of waiting. So right now, I am embracing the excitement and I'm going to try not to worry until I have a real reason to! I am so convinced that the prayers everyone said for me and my positive attitude (even when it was hard to not get negative and worried) totally contributed to my test results coming back in my favor. I also eliminated a lot of stress in my life and it's changed my life tremendously. I'll surely never be the same after this experience and I am a little excited about that (in a weird kind of way, of course). This surely has made me a better person, I'd never thought I'd say that about a cancer battle. :)...See MoreQuick update.. floors refinished
Comments (25)The floors really are the right balance between light and dark. They look light in sunlight and medium brown in regular light. This works well in this small house. I was concerned about the variation in board color because they used short boards throughout the house. As you can see there is some variation but it seems to be just enough to be interesting. Thank you all for your kind words. Rosie and Oly, my grandmother is still living and is very excited for me to move in. She's encouraged me along the way but has chosen to wait to see it until I am settled. It makes her very happy to know that I am caring for her home and making it my own. CLBlakely, I removed the carpet in the kitchen to reveal tile that is covered with dried on nasty carpet glue that isnt easily removed. I'd considered trying more extreme methods to remove the glue but everyone agrees that it's wasted effort-- if it can be removed, the tile is likely to be stained. I havent decided what to do yet. Carrying the wood into the kitchen isnt a good option and I don't want to replace flooring until I remodel the kitchen next year. Whatever I do will likely go on top of the existing (asbestos) tile. For now, I will likely get an inexpensive rug. Again, thank you all for your encouragement and ideas!...See MoreQuick Update ~ Ken
Comments (26)My dad, in his eighties, had a bad stroke, eventually going to hospice. We expected him to pass away, but he improved, went home and continued to improve. That was almost two years ago and he is still doing okay. I know Ken is in good hands, and it helps so much that you are by his side. I wish the very best for you both!...See MoreA quick update
Comments (27)I'm so happy for you and your family. Things are moving along in the right direction. Good for you for discovering your inner and outer strengths. You are a living example of that Eleanor Roosevelt quote: A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water. Dont forget to take care of yourself. The worst of it may have passed but you still need to nurture you....See More- 2 years ago
