Texas Visit

This blog is all about our wonderful stay at the Writers and Runners Home.  I have put in short descriptions of what you will be looking at as to not bore you too much.
 
 


                 This is the front door where we were welcomed with open arms.

 
 
                 The Arizona State, "Can Man", was in full dress on the front porch.
 
 
Waiting in our room was the "Welcome Basket" for our personal use.  Not seen in the basket was a bag of pecan sandies which was relocated to the kitchen closet where they were shared by everyone.
 
 
Here, Writer sits at the Task Manager Master Control Panel where task are identified, assigned and monitored.
 
 
Here is an example of the task created, assigned and had to be completed
 
 
One of the task was to take down the living room curtains, shake them outside in the hot air, then put them back up
 
 
We had to do the same with the kitchen curtains
 
 
Melissa checks them carefully before re-hanging
 
 
Next task was to re-stain the front door.  This required ladders, tools, stain, brushes, rags and gloves.  Fortunately it was a cool 97 outside
 

 
                     Here G-Pa has to get very low to get the bottom half of the door 

 
These curtains, in the formal living room, had to be removed

 
After removal and waiting for the new curtains to be made

 
The was an easy task...fill in, and hide, all the scratches in the dining room table

 
Full view of the shower stall where there was a leakage problem

 
Found the cause and repaired the bottom strip

 
This is a picture of the bed which needed painted

 
After the bed was painted we painted the activity box

 
The freshly painted items in Hitter's Den

 
Painted and mounted a new top shelf in Hitter's room

 
The new shelf allowed Hitter to display more models

 
Repaired a lamp problem dealing with the hardware

 
G-Mer identified a problem. Came up with a solution, then fixed it.

 
The number one task was to find new curtain material, sew it all together, make them look perfect, then hang them, all in a short period of time

 
G-Mer worked day and night on the curtains and got an A+ from Writer on her task
 

 
Sorry for the poor quality of picture as it doesn't do the curtains justice.

Well "Can Man" we did our best at getting things done and so much enjoyed visiting your home.  Can't thank the entire Writer family for their generosity, taking us out to fine dining most every night.  The one down side to the visit was, we missed Sparky, who was in school in Arizona.

  1. Wow, you guys did a great job on the can man and curtains. Beautiful, loved the curtains. Neat shelf and good idea for wasted space. Saw the Legos, Gmer told me about.
