It was a big day today and also a nice one. I guess..... After I saw that they were started with the floor and everything seemed to be going just fine I came in here (my computer room) and started a new puzzle. before I knew it the edges were finished except for 2 pieces I couldn't find but My Grandson Tyler came in and saw them in the box and I was off and running. I got lots of "company" today. Julie came over twice and Shari came over twice and we talked. I had to pick out what color grout I wanted and I did but everyone wasn't on the same page with that.... finally I picked out 2 for the bathroom and 2 for the kitchen. I wanted the lighter shade I picked for each room but I decided to go with the darker shade ( its really not all that dark) and the white shade for the bathroom... Every one wanted a deeper shade but I explained why I wanted the white in the bathroom and finally they all agreed with me. It seemed they didn't have a sealer on their grout and they got tired of cleaning it.... I will make sure I get the best sealer so it doesn't get dirty looking... I HOPE. If I would have picked the darker color in the bathroom it would have made my tile look grey and I wanted it to look blue and the white seems work for that. So far the underlayment is in in all the rooms and the tile is in in the kitchen and small bathroom next to the kitchen... Tomorrow they will grout it and put the tile in the other bathroom and then we have to wait 3 days for the sealer. But and a big but we have to wait until Wednesday for the dishwasher to be installed so there is a square in front so the man can do his work and then that will be put in.... so I suppose it will be a week before it all gets sealed... sure hope we don't spill anything in the meantime, LOL but then I have learned from experience nothing ever turns out perfect so I don't expect it to be perfect but I would like it to start out that way. Heaven knows there is enough in my house besides these floors that need attention.
Anyway I enjoyed the day and it was a fun puzzle to make... Just 500 pieces and I really enjoyed having someone in the house all day besides just me and Leo.
Hope everyone had a nice day and you didn't get too much snow or cold. Sandra

It is so exciting getting new things in the house. Everything here is old and needs replacing. Some day maybe. I love the bright colors in the puzzle. Sure brightens up the day ! I'm glad you have such good helpers to do a job like that.

Wow, you sound as busy as me. :-) Nice to have a Kitchen Aide Dishwasher. I hope it does last as long as the mixers. :-) I got a Kenmore and it works just fine. The puzzles are looking great and I can't wait to see the finished floor.
Don't forget to relax a bit.
