Susanne at Living to Tell the Story has begun a “Friday Fave Five” in which we share out five favorite things from the past week. Click on the button to read more of the details. I have seen it the past few weeks and thought it was a neat idea, but my mind went blank as to what to share. But this week I was thinking ahead!!
1. Days off from school. Jesse has been off since Wednesday because the school faculty and administration are at a conference. Jim took the same days off from work, too.
2. Not having to set the alarm clock. One life’s little pleasures.
3. That we didn’t go to Charleston, SC, or camping this week. Those were two of our options for these days off, but it is rainy here today, and Charleston is set to have high winds and rain this weekend, so I am glad we didn’t choose either of those. Our third option was redoing Jesse’s room, a project that has been needed since we moved here ten years ago, but it had to wait its turn.
4. Finally getting this carpet removed from my house:
Isn’t that the most hideous carpet you’ve ever seen? It has been in Jesse’s room since we moved here (poor guy!) and was just one of many projects needing to be done at this house. It’s actually coming up today! When we redid Jason’s room, we took his the old red shag carpet (shudder!) in his room and found beauitful hardwood floors underneath that didn’t need any kind of retouching or refinishing, so we are hoping that is the case in Jesse’s room, too. I am sure Ill have more on the room redo project later on.
5. Cooler weather. One of my favorite features of fall. It’s been lovely this week!
Stray Thoughts 
Even though we’re still running our ac, we’ve had some cool mornings and it is really nice! A trip sounds nice but not when the weather isn’t right…sounds like you could be busy with projects!
Oooo, start taking pictures so we can watch the progress of that room.
What a great idea for a Friday meme! I’ve already posted for today, but I’ll have to do this next Friday. Usually by Friday I’m so tired I don’t want to have to put a whole lot of thought into a post, but this one sounds fairly easy.
By the way, I’m envious of you on two counts: that you’re getting new carpet (boy, do I need some!) and that you’re going to Charleston, South Carolina at some point. I’ve never been there, and I’ve always wanted to go.
hee, hee! Good for Jesse for putting up with that carpet for so long. If it was in my daughter Katie’s room you’d never be able to see it anyway :0) hmmm.
I’m enjoying the cooler weather up here in Washington this weekend. Hope you get all you want accomplished! Blessings…
Great list! Good luck with the room project! Have a great weekend!
Barbara thanks for playing. That was a fun list! That carpet ranks right up there with the black, orange and red carpet we had in this house downstairs for many, many years before we could get to it. I shudder to think about it. LOL. Show us the results of Jesse’s new room when it’s ready! And I’m very envious of your not having to set the alarm. That would definitely be on a fave’s list with me, if it ever happens, that is. LOL.
LOL! HOW long have you lived in this house? I don’t want to SAY it’s the most hideous carpet I ever saw – cuz sOMebody LIKED it!!! But I do agree with you… poor Jesse! He’s going to be one happy HAPPY boy when this project is done!!! Can’t wait to see the end results!
Great list of fav. items….I don’t think the carpet is so bad though in the right room but then I haven’t been living with it. LOL.
Thanks for sharing your post.
Have a great weekend.
Blessings,
Sherry
Happy working on the room redo project! Hope to see more pictures of its progress. Have a lovely weekend!
