Maybe a dumb flat question?

Thank you Andrea! We moved here after 4 months of extensive renovations and then 4 months after we moved in I was Dx, so we put the rest of the work on hold and I was only able to get the tradesmen and painters back recently for the final push to finish it all. The doors had been heavily painted and badly scratched by a big dog at some time. We were nervous about trying to restore the cedar, because we weren't sure just how bad it was underneath, but the painters did a great job. It took over 3 days to do and then 4 coats of oil to get the sheen. All worth it.

Good Morning ladies! Thank you! I can't believe it is finally all done!
It has been a lovely day today. I had fun learning how to use the new camera. It is supposed to be about 27c tomorrow. Dex will be getting a bath and a haircut, I had put it off while the paint was drying because I didn't want to risk his fine white hair getting stuck on everything.
What are you dong for the weekend? M x

M - your home is beautiful. We are all moving in, so you better start the addition soon. Those doors are simply gorgeous. Strange that someone would paint them, isn't it?
Glennie - thinking of you and your upcoming freedom from periods and pain! Woohoo.
DP - Sending good thoughts your way.

Thank you ladies! DP wanted to see them, finished, but she hasn't been on again. I hope you are OK DP. I know you said things were not good.
You're all right! Simon does the windows! We were amazed at how these windows stay so clean, considering the environment of salty water and high winds, but the glass is all tinted and for some reason it doesn't show the dirt. We were put on to Simon, right after we arrived and he has been doing the windows 3x a year ever since. He cleans the inside and the outside and all the fly screens, it takes about 3 hours to get around the whole house and he charges next to nothing My arthritis wouldn't allow me to do all that, so Simon is a gift!
PRB we were amazed that the previous owners had painted most of the cedar. We had all the interior windows brought back to original, but it would have been a massive job to undertake all the exterior timber, so we decided just to focus on the front doors and have the rest repainted, which was a big job, but not a complete timber restoration. There is actually another beautiful door, right next to the restored ones in the picture, the interior is still cedar. That was the original entry into the house before the second much larger addition was built on. So the original owners found they spent so much time at the house, which was originally a Vacation home, they trebled the size 3 years after building the first part.
When we were looking to move down here, our first intention was to downsize, but the view and the house, changed our minds. Now that it is all finished, it is actually a very low maintenance house.
Glennie, I know you were kidding, but we have brutal laws about bringing animals in to Aus, we don't have most of the diseases that are in other countries, no rabies, so our quarantine is awful, 6 months, I believe, for dogs.
Zills, you're still doing Zumba, I never got around to it. There is a Sunday morning class in town, maybe now the weather is getting better!

well it was a "take your shit and go home" day for spam. There were double the amount of entries this year over last year. Lots of good things, stuff competition. My moms and grandmas were both really good. So it goes. Mom did win 2nd place for "play with your food". Which has to be an all edible art piece. She made it for me. Will show you later. I think I also have a couple days worth of posts to catch up on. Yesterday was the worst day ever but today is good. I didn't even realize the xeloda was having such an effect on me. Getting my new fridge installed right now. Back later

For some reason the site changed my Logon to MillieJ. It was pattycake.
I bought a camisole with little pockets in it that held soft "pillows" that worked like breast forms, and the surgeon said they were OK to wear in the hospital as well as after I got home. In fact, I used them for several months. The camisole came from a store that sells only items for use after breast surgery, and my insurance paid for it. My insurance also pays for 4 bras per year and a pair of prosthetics every 2 years. The store where they are purchased has to file the claim, but the money comes to me.
Just a few weeks after my double mastectomy on April 1. my oncologist referred me to an occupational therapist who showed me some stretches to do at home, and I continue to see her twice weekly. Because of her massages, stretches, and the hevimet (sp?) machine my scars healed quickly and the soreness in my shoulder where lymph nodes were removed has greatly decreased. My insurance pays for seeing her. In fact, my insurance pays for everything, and I haven't had to pay one cent.
