new air conditioners

The air conditioner men were her this morning about 8:15 and I think will be returning in the morning. We now have two (our old ones) sitting in the driveway, but the good news is that we have two new ones to replace them. And, two new thermostadts. They turned them on and I about froze, so they work.


This is what they left behind, so I am guessing they will be back?? Which means we got a new something or other in the hall closet, too. I am not sure just what he did in there, and then they were in the attic, too, so I guess they had to do some rewiring. So what do I know about all these things??
So here is one of the new thermostadts--the one by the bathroom. Pretty slick, huh??

Well, Dad and Chino are putting on the wainscoating today. They have made a couple of trips to the home depot and Lenhardt's so they are about done. As you can see, the corner is almost done. They are now working on the trim work





when Julia was here this morning she raved about the flowers out front, and since you have seen them before, I won't say much except that, "aren't they awesome!! What a wet winter will do, right??



And how about the grass--lawn?? Pretty nice, huh??




No, you are not seeing double, and no, this is not Michelle's bedroom. Phil and I went shopping at the same store, and I tried to steer him away from this particular bed set, but it was the one we liked, so we now share the same bedding that Michelle has.!!



When I was doing my addiction (yard sales) I found this cute little frog that I put on the ladder at the front door. I loved it, and the price was right!!

Okey, so this is where we started!! counter top removed
old counter top minus cook top
Old counter top with sinks attached Now he brings in the counter top

The boxes coume out and the sinks and cook top appear
Here he is on the carport putting in the sinks
Here is the finished product!! The beautiful new cooktop on the left is the griddle that goes with it. Awesome, huh?



This the counter to the right of the cooktop where the cutting board used to be, but now it is going to just be counter.








Look closely the difference in the countertops. Here they have removed the old counter tops and it looks pretty bare, doesn't it? Then they bring in the counter top with sinks placed into it. Do you see how he has the counter put up on crates??

See how the crate on the right of the sink is tilted?

Well, this is Bishop Huber. Dad had to call in the neighbors to help lift the counters so the crates could be removed and then set down into place


Before we knew it all the neighbors seem to appear, on the left is Spencer Thomason, Israel Tinoca, then Dad, then Bro Tinoco, then the Bishop. The counter guy was some where in there too, removing the crates. They tried putting down the right side, but it did not fit right, then over to the left side and that worked!!


YOu can see, they were still wondering if they were going to make it

Well, the crowd had gone and now all there was to do was the finishing things.

Phil and I left on friday, the 14th of March, for a wedding in Lake Havasu, and then on to Fredonia/ Kanab to see Mary and Roy. I had to take at least one picture of the beautiful flowers along the roadside.

The Criswells, had told us about this restaurant. It was very good Italian food and was the first place we headed for after we put our things in the motel. There are pictures of the "Rat Pack" and Frank Sinatra on the walls, plus other celebrities. Frank must have been a friend of Rich.
This is a replica of the "Royal Coach" which was in the lobby of the Lake Havasu Resort Hotel That good looking man in front of the coach is Phil
We liked it so much I took a shot from the other side Look at the angels on the front
