Finishing Touches - Hanging Curtains

Yesterday we installed the curtain rods and hung the curtains in our bedroom. Dee used the blue ones she had for the time being. But rather than have them tied off to the side they hand straight down. The curtain rod had a double rod design. Whereas when we put the curtains up before we used a spring loaded tension rod with nice finials on it (I dreaded making holes in the wall of our new house), this time I used my trusty power drill and it worked out fine. The room now seems to have some definition and you can imagine other appointments (pictures, a small bureau etc.)for the room. It's nice.

Speaking of the the "new house" it's hard to believe on April 10 it will be two years since we purchased the place. Amazing! Granted we didn't move in for eight months after that, but we will have owned it for two years. We are surprise at how different the fresh paint makes everything feel. Warmer and more inviting I think.

I went to the "networking" luncheon and invited the group there to tell their friends about our invitation to sing the National Anthem at PNC Park this summer. And I called attention to the magazine photo and story of our group in this month's "IN Seneca Valley" community magazine. (included in yesterday's blog).

AS it turned out, yeterday saw 70 degrees here. That made it mild for the evening and so Dee and I used the hot tub at dusk. Dee is a little leary about being out there in the dark with Rocky Raccoon still on the loose. A glass of Merlot and a nice hot tub was nice. God is good.

Today we're heading to my mother's place. We're hoping to help her find some documents she can't seem to locate and likely have dinner with her. It's raining here this morning but is supposed to clear up and get into the 60s later in the day.
