Another busy day here on John Street. What is a weekend without laundry? Yup another laundromatt run this morning. We got that all put away, and Judy and I spent the afternoon making the window decorations for the front porch. Love the finished product...
Great use for old christmas gift bags.... and photographic proof that a paint job is needed in the spring! hahhahahahhahahahha
John and Judy had to work tonight so I had a super lazy night doing NOTHING. I laid around, watched a movie, played some computer card games and chilled. I think that was more tiring than actually accomplishing something. Tomorrow is back to the post it note wall, after getting some groceries.
Time to get some cleaning done so I can decorate.
