Good Golly Miss Molly!!!

 Well, the new door is finally in place.  Not the lock and knobs but in place.  He's gone for a few to the hardware store.  He'll be back.  Wanna see?

Taking its ease in front of my closet in the Hallway

He's done the weather stripping, and made sure my front door burglar alarm sensor will work. He'll install the doorknob and lock mechanism when he is back here shortly.  I have asked him if he will refinish the solid wood doors in the house as well.  Said he would.  Don't know the estimate.  He wanted to do this first. 

Things are going alright.  Just Katie Isabella has her aging problems. Eating (not)  is the hardest to bear.

Need to have a dead dead dead tree felled.  The guy gave me an estimate and said maybe next week if it isn't as hot.  I never even saw that thing (dead tree) until a week ago!!!  

It's supposed to be in the mid 90's today and all week-- and it's well on its way!   Katie's Client is gone earlier than I expected as is his Mom of course who brought him about 1130.   (He's 11 now, btw.)

All that complaining I did about being too cold with the thermostat set on 72...it was me, not the a/c.  I bought an inside digital thermometer and right on the money.  I am used to it now.  No longer in flannel nighties and flannel shirts in the house! One of my boys programmed it before he left after a weeks visit and I am loathe to mess with it.  (In other words I don't know what I'm doing.)  Next time he comes back, we really need to set the 7 days a week temps for winter too.  We were so hot and uncomfortable we (he) just did the summer stuff.
