Beautiful, sunny day in Dublin sunday. It was prob in the 70s with a light wind. Looks today will be a repeat, weatherwise like yesterday. John and I got back from Atlanta late saturday night. We accomplished our mission for the most part. We returned with 5 new lighting fixtures with 2 on special order. We will have to make a return trip to Atlanta in about 2 weeks to get the 2 remaining lighting fixtures. We played tennis friday night and ran all errands saturday. The shower is 95% complete. The glass doors is missing one shower handle to the outside.
At 5:30am sunday, a loud boom from under the house near the masterbedroom woke us up. Maybe some duct work came loose. Last night, John crawled under the house to see if any ductwork detached or a cable snapped. As John checked for damage, he came face to face with a black widow spider. Luckily, he gently blew the spider aw
ay and it scampered off and he came out from under the house unscathed.

On our trip to Atlanta, we went to a pre-garage sale of one of John's clients. We selected a few items and a electric leaf blower. I spent all sunday afternoon blowing fallen leaves out of the yard. I ran out of sunlight, so I could not do the backyard.
My dog, Lady, was laying in the sun, enjoying the warm weather as well as observing my leaf blowing. Then with about 30 to 45 minutes left of yard work to do, Lady goes missing! Panic! I look all over the house, cannot find her anywhere. So I went to go look for her. Finally, after about 15 minutes of calling her name, she came trotting across a parking lot towards me, all tired, thirsty and hungry. She was so tired, she slept on her new bed all night last night and did not move an inch. I hope she enjoyed her solo tour of downtown Dublin. She still has not quite recovered from yesterday and I found her snoozing on the bed in her favorite spot since about 7:30am today.
John was inside sealing and priming. Earlier, he put some beautfiul artwork together from a few frames he got from the garage sale. One is hanging in the front hall. The picture of it is below. The time and effort he put in to it, could have easily cost over $200.00 to have a frame shop do it. The picture entitled, 'Crowned With Glory' by Michael Gnatek, Jr depicts a proud and wounded Civil War soldier wrapped in the confederate battle flag fighting for southern rights.
Once the sun went down, we showered and went out for some mexican food, then came home watched tv and went to bed. This week, the hexagon tile for the bathroom goes in, along with the pedestal sink, toilet, hot water heater and hopefully my washer and dryer can be hooked up. The trench will be dug to lay the wire for the electric for the house, we will have lights. FINALLY!
Right now, it is 12pm and all is quiet as far as construction goes. The interior renovation is winding down on the front part of the house. Next, the kitchen. Yeah! Some pictures from friday and the weekend. Keep checking my blog daily for updates.
