Early Wake Up + And so It begins... + Garden Club

Though reluctantly, the Mr agreed to move our vehicle's last night in preparation for roofers to start. AND it was a good thing because we had a ''wake-up'' while dawn was barely breaking through. The crew arrived, unloaded truck, set out tarps, and once they could actually 👀 see the roof it was a flurry of workers and shingles coming off...

We knew there were areas that needed repaired...

4 pallets of shingles and repair items...

Though we [ ''I'' ] went a little over budget, I made the decision to not repair but rebuild above porch area. This is for a future [ hopefully this year ] project.

My JinX was the only indoor PurrKid being 👃 Nosey 👃. He got his workout in going from window to window. I'm not sure where the outdoor PurrKids were during all this.

*****

I had Garden Club today. I wasn't staying for the entire meeting since we had roof crew working.

My fearless GC leader Mimi...

We had a great size group of members today,

I left for GC at 12:45pm the crew had sat down to eat lunch and when I came home the rest of the Front and Back side was finished...

Then they started rebuilding the porch roof,

So Much work happened today and the crew ended up staying longer then expected, [ their choice ],

So we did virtual Bible Study at home..

*****

The crew arrives tomorrow for finishing touches, and contractors arrive for their own final inspection of the work. After talking things over with the Mr, I'll be going over a ''few'' project estimates I want to try and do...Pray for him, I've added a new Team to my list.

Day ONE?? or One DAY + Happy 1st Homemaker Monday of June

 

What a YEAR we're having... 

time is flying by... it's

*****

I've had some reflections these past few weeks... mainly regarding the in-law situation. A newborn that was a big secret and an even bigger surprise, a BIL that continues to complain about having to do 'Adult - Parent' duties...a SIL that now after saying NO to helping us with her brother' pending __fill in the blank___health issues then gave the Mr a check [no I'm not keeping it, yes I'm stubborn], one nephew graduated 8th grade and we were told a couple hours prior to the celebration, and finally the oldest nephew wants us to pay for his Church Camp?? I can't even...

I made my decisions 😉 !

Enough of all that, let's link up with Sandra for this 1st Monday of the New Month JUNE!!
