Finally--Ellen's Elliptical Trainer!

Hello, Everybody!

Yes, it is true! Sharon put the finishing touches on the new Elliptical today! She feels like it took way too long to get it finished, but it is finally done. Ellen had to help hold some of the black covers, and FINALLY, it is finished. (Notice Sharon's arm muscles in this picture!)


And here is the Queen herself--trying to get the hang of it. It is in the "Mint Bedroom" upstairs. It will be a little extra exercise going up and down to use it!

It looks like she will be able to use this just fine, don't you think? Hopefully her knees, both the new one AND the old one, will like it!

We both have to have new roofs for our homes due to the hail damage we received last fall. We really didn't think that there was a problem until roofing companies began showing up on every street we passed. Both of us had neighbors who needed new roofs. We decided to have our good old State Farm Insurance Adjuster come take a look. We were astounded to hear her say that we both needed new roofs. Oh, joy! Do you know what the smell of tar does to Sharon's asthma??(Cough, cough, wheeze, wheeze!) Ellen's roof is only three years old, but many of the shingles were lifted up and some of the nails pulled out! We are both grateful it hasn't rained much lately!

We bought new hibiscus plants today. Sharon lost both of her beautiful plants to the freeze last year. Ellen was able to save some of hers, but she bought new hibiscus plants and a gorgeous alstromaria plant. We will take pictures later when they have a chance to adapt to their new homes. We love Spring!


Until next time... . . . . . . . . . .
