Happy Healthy Monday
Whoa! What 2 weeks it’s been. I totally forgot to post last Monday. We are in full swing to get our house ready by April 1 to put it on the market so I have been scrambling every last minute to do stuff around the house. Since Hubby has
hurt his back I did find a crew to hire to finish the basement. That starts on the 21st. Then I have a guy coming to lay living room carpet some time that week as well.
This weekend we were busy painting making things look fresh. I will be happy to never paint again. There are still a few things left to paint. We will be busy right up until we put it on the market I am sure. Hubby needs to work on a few things like replacing smoke detectors and door handles. Things that don’t require lifting. LOL
Hope you all have a super week. I know packing boxes and painting has been my workout! Enjoy the recipe.
