March 18th

Happy birthday Jim, hope you had a good day.
  By the way, they don't change the clocks here, so now were are an hour different from home. Something to bear in mind if you are planning to call us.
  It was a nice day, hot actually.  I think the temp was in the low 80's today.
  Started out the day in the unit.  I put trim along the floor and Marg painted the bathroom.  Got the front room done and can't go much further until the floor is installed in the bedroom area.  Went on and put the vanity in place and then put the tiles in the bathroom.  They are a very thick vinyl tile with a glue strip on all four edges.  Two face up and two down so that when they are lined up you press one glue strip onto the other and they form a seamless floating floor.  Went pretty well for my first experience with this stuff and everyone who saw it seemed to like it.  Yes there were lots of tours again today, no one can believe all the people going through the place.  A couple of them are leaving tomorrow and just stopped in to say farewell.
  Stopped for lunch and by then the bathroom was painted.  It was funny, one of Marg's friends got  the bug and decided to paint her living room, both ceiling and half of the walls.  She wants it to look like wainscot.  Anyway it took her 4 days, so they could not believe Marg did the bathroom in less than 4 hours.  Rumour has it that people in the park think we are the hardest working couple they have seen; feels like it some days.  LOL
  The floor tile covered more area than I thought it would and looks like a tile.  Marg washed the floor in the living kitchen area and unfortunately discovered a fairly significant scratch.  She thinks a touch up pen will take it out, fingers crossed.  The floor was fairly messy while we were working in the area or it may have been something that was tracked in.  Kind of upsetting after all the work getting to where we are.  Most common question is how much more we are planning to do and when we expect to finish.
  It was later when we finally finished, so no happy hour today and supper was the golden arches.  Had to have a quick supper so we could make the bingo.  No winners, well Pat got 1/5 of a prize, but that didn't even cover her admission. 
  We have been too busy to get out shopping and have a function we are attending tomorrow night, so had to go to Walmart for some groceries so Marg could make the dish she wants to take.  Had to get as much organized today as possible as tomorrow is a day of rest, with Marg going to the casino with the only one of the gambling's gals left in AJ and me to play golf at Apache Sun.
