Silver Sallies

Granny here,

Yesterday was eventful to say the least, had to get on the go early, had lots to do and little time to do it. Went to town, stopped at the utility company to get account put into my name, then a stopped at the Banner, our local newspaper to have my moving sale ad put in then I was off to the bank to get a cashiers check to pay for the house I was buying. Whew! I'm running out of breathe and I'm just getting started.

After the bank, I met a friend for lunch at Chic Filet, yummy! and it isn't even noon yet, boy this day is going to be full. I closed on my house at noon and it went smooth but I had to dish out more money for some odd reason, oh, well thank God I had it.

Then it was off to the insurance company to get the new house under protection, one never knows so we must be prepared. Well, that cost me some more bucks and next I was off to the tax office, whew, I'm beginning to feel the pressure. Good news here, received a refund, not bad it paid for the last insurance.

I have my keys finally, I've only been waiting eight years for this day. The house that I bought has always been one of my favorites, matter of fact, my late husband and I looked at it several years ago and I've admired it ever sense never dreaming that one day it would be mine. Well, today that admiration became a dream come true. Thank you God!

Checked in at home to see that the silver queen (my 94 year old mother) was doing ok. Didn't get to visit long I had too much still on my plate and wanted to get to it and accomplish as much as possible with the help of my trusty silver sallies.

My sisters Anne and Debbie, and my lovely daughter Sherri came with brush in hand to pull me out of the pit I had put myself in with all the painting that had to be done. Supplies, we had them, boy did we ever but that's a sign of people who know what they're doing. (LOL)

They immediately got to the task and before long the paint was going up and before we knew it (or should I say 4 hours later) it looked like a different place and with all the good conversation we hardly knew we were working until we tried to get up from the floor or come down from the ladder and then our bodies said, wait a minute I feel some cruel treatment going on here. Nothing like having eight hands instead of two, it really makes a difference. Thanks girls.

The silver sallies made a difference and boy am I appreciative, wouldn't have gotten as far without them. Nothing like having people step in and help you out in a pinch. But I always do the same for them so it's tit for tat.

Granny, one of the silver sallies doesn't have the stamina that she once had and she can tell it when it comes to this type of work, oh, boy do I suffer the next day or should I say the same day. LOL

Well, sorry to say that tomorrow will be a repeat of today but Granny won't have to worry, with the silver sallies it's always Hi Ho Silver!

Granny here, just saying!
