Jobs

Worked on the house this weekend after visiting Great Grandma with Karli.  Went to see her and wish her a Happy 92nd Birthday.  She is one strong lady.  She doesn't even look weak or frail.  But it is harder to walk and she loses strength quickly which is why after a few days in bed with a cold she is in rehab to see if they can get her walking again. 

The house-the downstairs bathroom is almost done!  Kaj and Tyler painted it this weekend, Rob is putting in the vanity as we speak and Skinner put in the lite mirror this weekend.  All that is left is the trim and a door.

I worked on sanding the entry way and living room wall and now those are ready for primer and paint.  Kaj worked on vacuuming up after me!

Recently the storyworth questions I can remember have to do with jobs and I saw one about a bike.

My first bike was a pink (schwin?) with a banana seat.  This was of course after the tricycle that was used as a wagon, bike, scooter, car whatever the imagination dreamed up.  I loved my pink bike then I had to learn to ride it.  I remember the old trick of the parents holding on then letting go but unfortunately I didn't know much about braking so I had head into the woods and ditch.  Definitely tears there.  Then we did the whole go to the school parking lot which left a good skid mark on my leg as well.  I did learn to ride thank goodness.
