No internet

I have not had Internet for over a week.  I kept putting off calling about it. Finally I called, they came, no fix til tomorrow.  It needs a part that they did not have on the truck.

So, I am trying to post with my phone.  My phone is why I was not in a hurry to get it fixed.  I can do most of what I need/want to do on the net with my phone.

So, why did I finally need/want it fixed. Dead people.  My friend at work loaned me a quilt from her grandmother made in 1933.  It has names written on the blocks.  She wants to find a family member to pass it on to.  I need a real computer or do this.  But, I have started looking at work and have much of it figured out.  I will post a pic when I get real net back.

Oh, yeah, and it snowed last night.  I would like to post a snow pic, but that is more than the little us up to.

Now to see if this will post???

Robert's Wall...

New furniture, old furniture

I got the new computer hutch in place.  I love it.  I used Howard's furniture on it and with very little effort and expense it looks beautiful.  All shinny with only a very few scuff marks. The printer fits nicely on the end table beside the computer, but I could move it somewhere else as it does not need a cable connection.  It prints with wi-fi.

I moved the little cart that I did have the computer on over here, and had some little plants on it for now.  It has leaves on both sides that flip out to make it into a table.  I could use it when I cook meals for company, maybe.

This was the most scuffed area.  I could tell that this piece, although really old, had been used a lot.

This is what the drop down looks like after restoring.  I was really impressed with how easily this was to do, and with the difference it made in the appearances of the piece overall.  They had a wax of the same brand they were selling.  I think I will go back and buy the wax or maybe not.  I got a can of liquid gold and used that for now.

Today is last lazy day before returning to work.  It is cooler today.  I think I will lay around and do nothing.

Last day of vacation

and I did some things.

I purchased this secretary/hutch.  I managed to strap it in the white pickup, haul it home, unload it and get it into the house by myself.  It needs a bit of refinishing on the drop down desk part, so I had planned on leaving it on the back porch until I get it ready to use.  But, it would not stand up on the back porch as it was too tall.  I got it into the house here, but had to get son to come up and move it into the living room.  After he stood it up and I saw that it fit under the light fixture in the hallway, I told him I did not need him after-all.  I could do this myself.   

He went ahead and moved it to the living room anyway.  

This is a view with the drop down not dropped, but it is sideways.  I am going to put it in the corer against the wall to the left of where it is setting here and use it to set the laptop on.  The draws below will hold all the paper and stuff that is scattered now and the top glass will hold dust catching 

nick-knacks behind glass.

The I got two prints because I thought one of them would look good here in my living room.  I really could not decide which one I liked best but finally decided on this one in the living room.

This one went in my bedroom.

This is a close up view of the one in the living room.  They are prints, not painting but that means they are behind glass.  Living on a dirt road makes me appreciate dust-catchers behind glass.

Today, I am going to get furniture re finisher and start on the computer hutch.  

Helen says kids are having fun.  Last night they went to the races.
