House has come a long way from when we got it.

I was poking through some old pictures of when we bought the house. ICK!  Before

 Now

Before

Now - I think it is a big improvement. 

Yesterday was just "one of those days.'

I think I mentioned that the mustang was at the mechanics because it was over heating. It has also been giving us problems starting. So the overheating problem is fixed but it is still there getting a tune up. Hopefully that will solve the crank, crank, crank finally turn over and start problem. Not a battery problem. Has not been serviced for a long time as we seldom used it for the last 8 years. 
And - I've packed my stained glass window away for a bit. Wondered about the size of it so remeasured the space where it will go. After adding the metal piece that goes all around it to make it stable it would not fit the space available, by about 1/8 of an inch all the way around! Need to do some resizing. Not too much, just on the leaves but don't feel like dealing with it for a bit. Probably by next week I'll be enthused again. 
The wind is blowing like crazy here again, all kinds of dust and pollen in the air. About the only thing not blowing around is our roof. Gusts up to around 50mph again. Enough already. 
Saturday Bill is meeting a friend at the RC airfield to fly - hopefully the weather cooperates and the wind is not blowing. 
At least my foot is feeling better. For a few days it was a real pain walking on it. It just gets that way sometimes - from a 12 year old break. 
We have the new mattress for the RV - in the garage in a big box. Now we just need the RV. Still waiting for new sensors for the gray and black water tanks. It just quit working. They never work very good any way but it is under warranty. 
A picture of our son who had the brain aneurysm in January. Out to dinner with his car club buddies. We still plan on going to California to see him and his brothers before too long. 

Not much to write about today

I worked on my window for a while this morning. I finished the leaves so only have the background to do now. After much searching through my stash of glass I came to the conclusion that I did not have enough of any one kind of glass to do the background. so what to do?
Well jump into the car and go to the glass store. But first we needed gas in the car. Price of gas seems to be going up every day. $2.60 today. After filling up we headed up Tropicana - Bill was driving. I noticed he kept looking at the gauges...I finally asked what was wrong after he made a U-turn. Seems the mustang was heating up. So on home. Raise the hood and look under it. Hum...Need to take it to mechanic. So that involved getting the Jeep uncovered and out of the back yard. He drove Willie and I drove the mustang to the mechanic. He went inside to talk to the mechanic. I very carefully put up the windows in the mustang and got out to see what was up. Bill came back out, got in the car popped the hood, turned on the engine, got out and closed the door. Oh Oh, the door locks engage as soon as the engine starts. So now the keys were locked in the running car. Oh My! Luckily the mechanic had a handy dandy little door opener. I think the mechanic said it needs a new fan or fan part. Any way it is at the mechanics until sometime tomorrow. The car is almost 20 years old and only has 78,000 miles on it. That taken care of we headed across town to Glass Art Studio www.glassartinc.com to get my background glass. So glad to see our friends the owners , Chuck and Lee. Haven't seen them since last summer. Think we'll be seeing a lot more of them this year as I already want to do another window. Got the glass and visited for a while. Then on to son's office to see our daughter-in-law who had foot surgery a couple of weeks ago. She is doing fine. I asked her to give me her doctors name as my foot has been really hurting the last couple of days. [today for some reason it feels better - shush don't let it hear me] Last nite it was really hurting and swollen. Two Aleve, glass of wine and sleeping pill kind of night. Wasn't on it too much today so hopefully it will continue to feel better. Of course if we are out we have to go somewhere to eat. Late lunch so no cooking tonight.
Then because we were on that side of town we went to the RC plane hobby shop. Bill spent some time [not money] just talking to to the owners. Absorbing information.
On the way home we stopped at the RV dealer and told them to go ahead and keep the RV until the last part comes in, by the end of the month. No sense bringing it home then having to take it back.
We also stopped at Sam's Town RV park to visit with the couple we were parked next to in Mazatlan. They are on their way home to Canada. Unfortunately he slipped off a ladder while washing his windshield yesterday and shattered his heel. In a soft cast until swelling goes down some. Not sure if he can drive home. Wishing him well. Then home where I proceeded to do nothing the rest of the day.
And that's it for now.

Pretty flowers real and glass

Not much to say about today. Sometimes I wonder why I dream about what I dream about. This morning I woke up too early to get up so went back to sleep. I dreamed that I was still working [retired almost 15 years ago] and I was at a school in Huntington Park, CA looking for the cafeteria manager. But the school had been remodeled to look like a Disney attraction. I was trying to find the manager's office. Weird. Got up to late to see the sunrise which was probably pretty as there were clouds in the sky. Bill was still sleeping so I put on my shoes and went for a walk. A neighbors Iris garden. Sure a pretty color. 

 Only did a short walk a little over one mile. When I got home Bill was up and ready to go out. We went to the RV dealer to check on Arvi - we can pick him up Thursday morning. Then we have to put all the stuff back in him. Ugh. We also asked them to take out the mattress as we bought a new one. A medium firm 10 inch queen short Gel Memory Foam. It comes all squished down in a box. The directions say put it in the bedroom before removing it from the box. It weighs 85 pounds! Should be interesting. Then we went to breakfast. This rose bush was in front of the restaurant. Two colored roses - one bush. 

 Then to Home Depot to see what we can put on the garage floor. Bill was thinking carpet tiles until we priced them. Don't think so. 
Continue working on my window, starting to work on the leaves now. According to my FitBit I did over a mile 1/2 just going from cutting table, grinder and into house to laundry room sink working on the glass. 

And there is Bill up on a ladder again. One of our metal hummingbirds we bought in Mexico came loose in the winds. He was hanging upside down. 

It's amazing how much time I spend on working on the window. Most of the day just passes.Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day, maybe we'll get out and do something interesting.
