And the color scheme is...

The color scheme is.....brown, cream and brick red! That's the shower curtain Chelsey picked out and the one I liked too. So, now we build around that. The good news is, I already have several accents that are that color, so this should be fairly easy to put together.

We also got kitchen rugs, and stopped by the house to see how they looked. Chelsey liked, me....we shall see.

Have gotten rid of many things this weekend. House is looking bare.

Off to watch tv and clean up the kitchen. Happy Sunday evening all!

Great football weather...

What a gorgeous night for football. Let's review the past three games. 3 Fridays ago it was so hot the letters from my Senior Mom Jersey stuck to my back. Last Friday night it rained us out. Tonight capris, flip flops, and a jacket by the end of the game. Just perfect. And the final score.... Celina 41 Paris 22.

Got the key to the new house this afternoon. It's now empty, so Chelsey and I measured a few things. Her bed is going to be a bit snug, but she is DETERMINED to get it in her room. Colby's King bed will be snug too, but he said he didn't care. Those kids love their beds, what can I say? And.....we actually have a concrete patio. Not sure how I missed that, but we can take the patio couch and chairs. No cover, so I'll have to figure that out, but at least we have a patio! No flower beds...can't decide if that is a good or bad thing for me.

So, tomorrow I start to pack and plan. Measure a time or two more. Buy a shower curtain. That curtain will determine our decor colors. Either going with green and blue with brown OR red, cream and brown... Again, shower curtain is what determines it.

Have a nice weekend all!

Three shots...

THREE shots today....And not rom shot glasses! Steroid, B12 and flu shot. Got the crud After the wind and rain storm Sunday. Change in the season gets me eveytime. Oh and an antibiotic, 1 giant horse pill for 5 days. I actually already feel better told Kim at the clinic here in town, that I may leak water from all the needle holes received today. No time to be sick, so it was a must!

The new soon to be Mrs Owner is bringing her sister out to the house tomorrow at noon. That's a good sign that she already wants to show it off. After all, it is very important that sisters approve! Right Carla?

Nothing exciting around here....starting to think about packing. But I actually think we can move one room at a time and not really "pack" just yet. The plan is to get everything out of the big house and into the little one that will fit and we use, then see what is left. I will say, there will be a lot left, but we have a couple of weeks to get it all out. Not worried. One room at a time, and I can knock it all out. Danny and the kids are not worried either, since they haven't said one word about what the plan is....I shall take this bull by the horns, trust me, and they will be in for a quick ride!

Take care all....and I can't help but wonder who all the visitors Royse City, Mesquite, Terrell....I know Winnsboro, College Station, but the others are a mystery.

Happy Hump Day tomorrow....trash day around here.

Facebook Frenzy Sale

Well, created quite a frenzy on Facebook this afternoon. Posted 40+ pictures of items selling before the big move. Check them out. If sold, I have marked them that way. Cell phone was ringing, house phone, text messages and messages on FB. Good grief it was crazy for about 2 hours as I posted pictures.

Homecoming was.......

Senior Float....isn't it just like Colby to be turned sideways (#51 shirt below)

Run thru - only time we saw it....rain prevented even unrolling it at the field.

Homecoming was.....postponed! It doesn't rain for days, months..but it did last night. Mom and I head up to the field at 6:30pm and by the time we get there, an umbrella if our topic. We have ONE with us. So up we go to the stands in a slight drizzle. Then...it gets worse. Lightening show begins. We head out of the metal bleachers and then hover under an umbrella for half an hour. Then we head to the car and to Sonic. At 8:30pm they call the game. So...next weeks game shall be "Homecoming" of sorts...no parade, huge pep rally, but we'll get to find out who os Homecoming Queen.

Made it home to go to the parade. Several floats, cheerleaders, band, Benny Boys, football players, etc. Made it to the Pep Rally. Theme is "11 working at ONE". Gym was packed. Standing room only. I'd put this town up against any other for support of the kids. Everyone turned out for it! Danny even made it. He nor I mentioned that we planned to attend so it was a nice surprise for both of us.



Mom, thanks for attempting to see Colby play...maybe next time!

Off to shower and head to work. Happy Saturday all!

From BIG to small...

Lease is signed. Contract is signed. Amazing how two big stacks of papers can cause such a frenzy.... So, we now get to figure out what, from this 4400 square foot house, gets to go live in the 1835 square foot house we'll be renting.... Can you say less than HALF? Oh well, we'll figure it out! We are set to move in 10/1 2 weeks to plan what will fit and what will not.... Oh...and it is going to cut 12 minutes and almost 10 miles one way from my daily commute. 24 minutes a day that my butt will not not be riding in a car. I will take it! Homecoming tomorrow night...last Homecoming parade tomorrow. Last late night working on the float tonight. And last "guard the float" night, so no one trashes it before tomorrow. 67 degrees on my way home tonight. Under a blanket in my recliner at this very minute. Fall has arrived...maybe! Take care and wish us well at our last Homecoming game with the kids in school... Pam

P. S. Just in case your interested, this is what I mean BIG to small...

The new....

The now....soon to be old.

Just a bit of difference..... :-)

Decision made!

Okay...after a lot of thought and discussion and worrying...we, the inhabitants of the FFF, have made a DECISION. We are going forward with the offer received....going with the small house in a neighborhood and will be moving out of this big ole house in the next week or two. After talking thru the options with my wonderful sister....she's right. I do not want 18 acres to keep up with the one house we looked at. I want to come home, to my tiny house and not be fretting, cleaning, worrying, etc. It is time to STOP worrying myself sick and move on. Yes, We will be able to spit on our neighbors house....hopefully they like us and we like them. Yes We have to have a MAJOR garage sale, but it is time to downsize. Time to smile again, as Carla says. Time to move!!! Even C and C are relieved with a decision. Limbo is NO fun for any of us. We'll still be The Fenter Fuuny Fsrm, just on a much smaller scale!

Stay tuned...I am sure there will be lots of stories with this move.... And, a dining room suit, pool table, possible Kubota rtv, flower pots, rugs, decorations, books, etc etc etc going up for sale.

Pam

P.S. Love you Carla...
