New Carpet






The carpet guys, Victor and Jesus showed up around 1:45 and were finished by 4:45. They did a great job. It's hard to tell the true color from these pictures but it's called Desert Stone. Our living rooms walls are not really pink either as they appear in the picture! We put the couches back so we can watch the new 52" TV. The rest of the furniture will go back in place tomorrow.

The Mess





As you can see our living room is still torn up. Jack is installing brackets to hang the new TV (which is awesome!) and the carpet should be here next week. We leave for San Diego (and the cruise) next Monday!

Garage Sale Day 2




The "NOT FOR SALE" sign on the golf cart yesterday didnt seem to get the point across so today we put Fire tape around it and people still looked but didn't ask the price.

Here is a picture of Jack's big find...a $5 work bench! We gave a bunch of stuff away toward the end just to get it out of the garage.

Santa Rosa Country Club opens tomorrow so I know where Jack will be. I may get a pre-cruise pedicure. Our new TV should arrive today!!

Day One of the Garage Sale



We sold the 2 TV's and the couch so that was a plus. Books always sell well. I sold my bicycle to a highly annoying guy who kept returning and asking me if I had a tire pump..."NO" a wrench?.. "NO" How do you shift gears? How much do new tires cost? C'mon dude for $20 bucks I'm not adjusting your gears ,giving you lessons or pumping up your tires. I put a "Not for Sale" sign on the golf cart because people ALWAYS ask about it. Tomorrow the general public can come inside the gates. It's a great time to practice my Spanish. We hope to have everything gone by 8AM!

Where I'd Rather Be....




I'd rather be in the pool instead of tagging items for the garage sale. It starts tomorrow at 7AM. We wound up with more sale items than we thought we'd have. You know how it is when you start looking through the old boxes etc.

Finished our job at the Palm Springs Convention Center last night and celebrated by going to the dinner buffet at Agua Caliente...not much luck on the slots this time.

All I Need is a Harmonica



Do I look like a security guard or a Blues Brother?? This picture is minus the blazer and yes I do tuck my shirt in on the job.

Two days down and two to go.
