We were in Rochester for the most part of the day. I had an appointment and then we went to JC Penny's with our $10.00 coupon. I wanted more of the bath towels that were on sale. Bob had to exchange 2 pair of jeans; he didn't like the "hip hugger" ones that he received for his birthday. Would you say it's his age showing?
While shopping, the person from Creative Bath called to say they had our shower basin and would be coming on Thursday to install it. Yeah! After supper, Bob moved the sink and vanity out of the bathroom so he could take up the rest of the floor tile.
Betsy painted our nails so we stay glamorous!
Tuesday:
I hope this step of the remodeling project is done in a timely manner as I don't like brushing my teeth in the kitchen sink! Sure I could move to the downstairs bath but who'da thought of that?
I've been paying bills this morning. Filing is so much easier now that I cleaned up the file drawer. I was almost finished when my friend called to say she was coming for coffee. What a trip she is, we had several good laughs!

My jonquils are up and opening. They are quite pretty. The daffodils are up about 5" but they haven't blossomed yet.
WEDNESDAY:
Rainy! It's a little foggy too. After breakfast, I folded the drip dry clothes, then started working on another file drawer. Eric called and updated us on the Chicken Reggie dinner. He also wanted to interview us for a term paper. We had to answer the question: What makes crime in America?
That afternoon, I had to make a deposit at the bank so I gathered up other ideas for the run. It takes so much time to shop; when I got back it was time to start supper.
Bob painted the bathroom ceiling with primer. After supper, he removed the toilet so we are already for the delivery at 8:30am. Everything is out of there so they have plenty of working room.

THURSDAY:
We were up at 6:00am to get breakfast etc. and wait for the delivery men. It didn't look to nice outside at that hour, but the rain had stopped. They arrived promptly at the scheduled time, 8:30am. I had sat down on the sofa downstairs to stay out of the way while the men were working on the shower installation. I grabbed my e reader to finish about 30 pages. I promptly fell asleep-sitting up. I was awaken by a great big ker plunk, ker plunk noise; they were bringing the tub out all in one piece, hitting several of the stairs. I thought the space shuttle landed! Nerve shaking just coming awake. Tomorrow will be a month since this project started but I'm glad Bob can do so much of the work, he has saved a lot on the project. A penny saved is a penny earned.
Usually as soon as I get money in my budgeted slush fund, something else happens that calls for every penny. It's like they know how much I have in there. As luck will have it, Bob noticed our car leaking some kind of an oily type stain on the garage floor and all over the inside wheel well. An oil change was due so when he made the appointment for that he asked the mechanic to check out the problem. We have also heard a noise in the wheel. Bob is not into car repair!

FRIDAY:
Bob put up the ceiling light/fan in the bathroom. Then he started working on the plumbing. There was quite the "ta do" about where to locate the shower head. I guess I have stressed my height too much. Bob was marking a spot that was way to low; anyone else would have hit their head on it. Once installed, it leaked! We had to turn the water off, turn the water on, turn the water off etc.
I started working on typed pages for the camping Rally that is in September. Then I'd get another idea and go do that. Kinda flighty thinking.
SATURDAY:
We had plans to attend a Coin Show at the Hamburg Fairgrounds with our son and his wife. We left about 10:00am for their house in Lancaster, and the winds were terrible. Bob was driving with two hands to stay on the road. Then they drove to the Coin Show. Once at the place, we walked thru a building that was hosting a nursery show. All kinds of tree seedlings were on sale. The coin show was huge; many participants. We meet my daughter-in-laws friends whose father is a dealer. He is very knowledgeable and gave us several pointers. Sticker prices were quite a shock, as silver is up in value. I did find the last 10 D quarters that I needed to finish the State Quarter book. We had the buffet at the Hamburg Casino, which was just across the parking lot. (non-smoking casino) We were surprised to see how they cut the main building in half to put in the casino. That must make a big difference for the craft show organizers. It was a full day and we were pooped but we had such a great time.
SUNDAY:
It's raining and snowing again; off and on all day. I'm so glad we went to Hamburg yesterday, it was windy and wet but no snow. Bob and Betsy worked on the bathroom today. They were putting up the marine wallboard. The plumbing is dripping again so that's another problem. Tomorrow Bob will take the motor home out for service on the refrigerator-2nd recall. Wonders of wonders, he didn't make the appointment at 8:oo am as usual. I had a couple sewing projects that didn't turn out as well as I would have liked them to.
And, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Everyone have a good week.
