Plans are in place. Got mulch this morning for the front beds -- and by the time Christian got here it was way to hot -- then it rained -- so the executive decision was made to let the front plantings be as they are.
Jamie and Christian came in around noon with projects in mind. Of course, I had to take time to see Allie crawl, sit up, and crawl, sit up, crawl..... She is so alert and notices everything. She is in that awkward 9 month old space-- crawling, talking up a storm (it's just that her words are not well formed yet), standing when she wants to -- and no adult is watching and front teeth that are cute and can be a rather painful weapon if one's fingers get in the wrong place (Mom learned that again today) and most of all demonstrate what she is learning about wrapping adults around her little fingers.
Christian and Jamie are marvelous. In a very short amount of time, the great room is ready for a group meeting. Two tables with seating for 14 in the dining room. The living room has some seating with the round table in place for serving. We also got all the shoes packed up and now there are two packages to go to UPS for delivery to Marcia. Christian brought his new iPad, and we had a great time playing with it and being amazed at its capabilities. For me, there is not enough different to make it worth $500. I think I will just invest in an upgrade to iPhone4. I really did appreciate Christian bringing it to show it to me. He also took me for a ride in his new car -- it is really nice, and he made a good deal. It has really been amazing how open everything in the house is right now since Christian and Jamie worked their magic!
I can see some possibilities for rearranging the great room in case I decide to get a larger, flat-screen TV. I am pleased that we have done enough consolidating and eliminating that there is not going to be a huge amount to hide in one of the other bedrooms. Nancy comes tomorrow, and I go to Publix, UPS and Party City for the first round of supplies for the week and Thursday. It was really a great day!
