While the band’s playin’

Yesterday we watched the Carol Channing documentary, Carol Channing: Larger Than Life.  If you haven’t seen it, you should.  She makes me very happy.  Critics may say that she is living an inauthentic life and never leaves that character that she plays, but I love her, and as I said when we saw her at the Kaye Ballard concert, she still has it!  I think the best part is the story of how she found her current husband after so many years.  Just like a Jerry Herman musical, she makes me float.

I have been trying to figure out a way to make the other blog work, and haven’t cracked it yet.  I have done some research, but it is taking time to crack how to make it work seamlessly.  Will keep you posted.  Hopefully tonight.  We had the different folks come on Saturday.  The tilers were both fine, but I liked the second one better.  The sale man who gave us the names mentioned that the first one was very opinionated about how things should be done, and I got the feeling that he would want to do things his way.  I just hope that the cost doesn’t get out of hand.  We need to do it though.  I think we will plan on doing both bathrooms as well.  We are still sleeping downstairs, and the first tiler said that he would suggest I plan on making sure the first floor bathroom is accessible as well.  Good point.  The roofer also came and I think that will be done in the next couple of weeks.  Finally the potential renter liked the house, and is flexible with his dates, so I think that will work out.  All in a days work.

Did some more quilting today and that is moving along.  I don’t think we will be done before we leave, but pretty darn close!  I also told David that I thought that when we got back to CA, I was going to seek out some volunteer work or find an interesting interning gig.  Something to keep me in the game and that might turn into something, without taking me away from helping David out.  He suggested that I ask here if anyone has a connection or can think of something to do, let me know.  I think it would be ideal to have some work that I can do remotely.

Tomorrow we have the consultation for the kitchen garden, which I am really looking forward to. The aide will be here, which is great, so David can participate, but if he needs anything, she can help him and I can continue.
