Afternoon all&#33; Went with DS to look at condos today. 2 were exactly the same but one required way less work to be liveable although it did cost slightly more. DS is lazy......LOL&#33;  so I think the less work will win if this is the complex he chhoses. Called all the cabinet guys with my ??&#39;s, now I just have to make a decision on who to hire. Pretty sure I know but want to sleep on it. Thanks for the well wishes all on picking a contractor. Our very own Cheryl (GottaCruz) has been helping me too.<br /><br />The group cruise is taking shape. Sure hope Howie and I can do this. Still not sure if that many days away will work for us since we are self-employed and will only have 1 employee (DS) then. Howie &amp; I will discuss it this weekend. Crossing my fingers.......<br /><br />Steve I don&#39;t blame you for not wanting to do the sidewalk. I sure understand about getting too old for that kind of stuff. I&#39;m right with you&#33;<br /><br />Jenn, I pretty much have a room in the house, my computer/wine room. (formerly Howies office). When DD moves out (if they can agree on a place) her room will become sewing/guest room. Howie will get his office back when DS moves out, so I guess I&#39;ll get a 1/2 a room. LOL Please don&#39;t murder Hugh........he helps around the house&#33;<br /><br />Shari, AMC is sometimes so annoying with the dumb way they settle story lines. Fire = 1 less set........or at least a new set. Sorry to hear about the driveway, sometimes it pays to hire out. <br /><br />Marylou sounds like a lot of fun this weekend. That reminds me.....I still need to get a gift for the shower on the 3rd. Hope you have a safe trip and lots of fun with the family. I already took the before pics so no worries. That is so funny about your son and daughters laundry......mine never thought of that. LOL<br /><br />Sue enjoy visiting with your sister.<br /><br />Maria if you slept that long you must have needed it. I sleep late about once every 2 weeks. Don&#39;t worry, you&#39;ll catch up around the house. Have a great time with your family this weekend.<br /><br />Debbie, both my kids learned to do laundry but didin&#39;t until they were 18. It was one of my ways to let go........so hard to do sometimes but if we don&#39;t teach them, they bring home dirty laundry. LOL<br /><br />Well off to do some more reading on the boards. Trying to distract myself for a while. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend&#33;
