The Lake House
lighter:
Tonight the summer bride is supposed to call and chat about having wedding at lake. I thought I'd be tucked into jammies, researching rental companies, fees and deliveries, but I'm out and about with vet appt, lunch with DD24 and reupping her fitness membership. The snow and ice are a problem on small streets. The first main intersection for us has a huge gas leak with firetrucks and a shut down road flanked by gas stations, so that's been the scariest thing about about sliding out of the neighborhood today.
It's blue skies and sunshine.....enjoying the day☃️

The summer bride is waiting for pricing for an August wedding. I have nothing concrete to give her, esp as the maid asking for work just flaked.
Tree guy said 61 trees planted yesterday. It's a lot of trees, will say that. Had to stop him from planting on non corps property ...he planted at least 4.
Going to water them now. Hope new hoses were left, not taken

We only caught 2 mice in the garage. It appears one mice pooped in parts of lower up kitchen cabinets....and he did it all by his lonesome. It's been assumed the dead mouse smell, located in the bedroom under said cabinets, is the unlucky fella. I think he scampered in while the handyman was checking on house during cold snaps, at my request.
This is best case scenario, btw.
I'm going to start cleaning windows while sister waters trees after this post.
Later, we'll break down bedroom off downstairs kitchen and put in out building.
That space, instead, will officially become flex space with armoires scooted to walls for tables and chairs/dance floor or scooted back into room, as walls, for blow up bed/s.
The bed we're breaking down is a beautiful carved wood poster bed with matching single armoire and huge dresser with mirror. It was in youngest DD's bedroom in the big house. I still have the Gurls' Martha Stewart bedding, tattered a bit, but lovely and used during our stays...and....I feel almost nothing when I think of it. Maybe obligation.....to make their things available....to guard and keep safe. I'd say that's been a feature, conscious and unconscious. DD said she feels "ambivalent" about the set.....never thought of it "as hers." She's all for putting it in storage, which means she doesn't not care. I know DD24 cares about her piano and bedroom set.
The idea of opening up the down great room/kitchen area feels like cool fresh air blowing through my bones. That is a surprise to me. Heck, will have options for the pool table placement..... everything, really, can be arranged differently, except kitchen island. I wish we had installed vinyl flooring when down bathrooms were done. Just matched it all up. Oh well.
But all those peanut butter traps set in the house, and not one mouse caught. Later, we sanitize and put the mouse panic away.

Might have sister's Canadian friend to the lake ....... she's wonderful at planning and executing wildflower meadows.....which baffles me. Not sure why, but it wobbles my brain.
I have a tree stump/wooden board bench idea brewing for outdoor lakeside seating. Will speak to contractor about it this weekend... provided girls are in a good place.
It's exam time and they're still dealing with tonsil trouble, for oldest, and a cold for youngest. That steroid shot, for oldest, made a huge difference, will say that.

Original handyman might install main kitchen gas cooktop.....six burner....missing a knob. Have to figure that out.
He's looking for other things to do, so....here we go, again.
I have ideas.
