It’s been an interesting week – I seem to have worn myself out without much effort. I put some oil o the hardwood floor, you can see the individual sections. I have a couple of sections to finish, but they are traffic lanes and it won’t be hard to do them. Eddie had a Defense Symposium on Wednesday and Thursday at Joint Base Lewis McChord. He spent the night on Wednesday, so I had the house to myself for a bit.
I called Steve to arrange to have his guys come and bring up the furniture from the basement. There has been quite an echo in here for a while. I was hoping they would be able to come before he came home – I wanted to surprise him. But it would be Friday before they came. So I didn’t say anything when he left for work on Friday – I wanted it to be an unexpected surprise. I was even in the bedroom having a lie down so Eddie could get the full effect. He was very surprised and very pleased – it is now the Kaplanian household. They mostly brought up the big pieces and I have arranged the furniture – probably temporary until we live with it for a while to see what works.
After dinner he disappeared down stairs – looking for the last cushion for the sofa and the little pillows that go with it. Then he found some of his CDs and a few other things. He was like a kid in a candy store. I had forgotten about the big jar we used for umbrellas, I was trying to remember when we bought it.
We can’t find the shelves and bracket for the secretary and I know the key is downstairs somewhere. There aren’t brackets for the shelves in the breakfront – no doubt tucked away somewhere. We will go through the boxes slowly and decide what to put where. Eddie is going to have to do it for the moment, I twisted my knee Friday afternoon and have been hobbling around since. It is getting better but I don’t want to chance it on the stairs at this moment.
No doubt it would be smart to put in the pictures to show the end result. I will admit to being a bit overzealous in taking pictures. I think most are self-explanatory.
I needlepointed this hassock a long time ago. The picture goes all the way around.
