I been very buissy house cleaning I got a new broom and a new scrubbing brush and I have used thoose last week untill I got so tired I took chills last Sunday so this week I have not worked so hard, I went to town last Monday and got lining for your quilt and some brown paint for the east rooms and your Dad have painted the floor along the sides and am waiting for it to dry intirely so I can put the rug down it takes time and much patience in this place. we got the lenolium down in the kitchen and I am sure glad of it. F.O. helped us to put it down and he done it just fine.
