My New Retreat

I am such a lucky girl. Strike that. I am such a lucky 60-year-old blind, congenial woman. Ahem that's what every progress update from my doctor begins with. :D I recently got copies of my medical records from 2012, and we had a few chuckles as we read through his writings. But that's beside the point. The point is that I am the happy recipient of a generous budget allowance from Dan and the decorating/organizing talents and labors of my friend JoLyn. She's the brains behind all the changes, but she also knows how to rally the troops to get us all enlisted in various projects, and loving it. So Dan and Rick hung a couple of heavy mirrors, changed out drawer pulls, repaired a stubborn closet door, and other things, while I did a little scrubbing, mopping, carrying items here or there, and quite a lot of napping. But the instigator of everything was that little powerhouse, JoLyn. After many many hours of joyful effort, including some help from another friend, Karen, our room has been transformed into a very attractive, relaxing, peaceful retreat. Big thank yous to all the transformers! And thanks to Kylie for the photos.
