Stucco West







Now that we can get on the internet at our "garage apartment" we can update our new and improved website more often. Mark finished the upper west side of the house today and it looks great. Really crisp look to the windows and the overall look of the house! It is exciting.



On the flipside, we are having a heck of a time "dealing with everything." Most notably is Don's mom-Margaret. She is suffering from some pretty intense depression - it seems it has built up over time since Barney died, trying to live on her own in Cleveland, and now living out here. Major changes on all fronts and it has to be hard for her. So, in addition to working full time and trying to work on the house, we are taking time off and juggling schedules to be with Margaret and taking her to doctor appointments. We feel sorry for her and try our best to keep her in good spirits. It is no picnic. Just today we were both up at 4 am. Don got home at 630 pm after taking Margaret to the doctor, working and then working on the house, and is still on the phone at 900 pm. Deb had a field day for work and won't be home till 10 pm! - maybe later because she still may stop at Margaret's place tonight to see how she is - St. Debbie is her real name. She defines Love.
