It says "Sunday" above but I really didn't post this until Tuesday. I tried so hard to get this done on Sunday but I was kicked off the computer(s) because of homework. I was knee deep in learning how to insert pictures into my posts. I'm not holding my breath. I told Kami's Mom that I like the idea of "Tuesday Two" so I wouldn't have to think but I'm do have many things that make me happy this week
1. I'm grateful for latex paint and primer. We've been working on bringing our 70's Mediterranean dark woodwork up to date. So happy for Steve and Michael indulging my wants and needs in home improvement! Michael picked up the priming where Steve left off when I sent Steve outside to caulk, scrape and prime for the annual weatherproofing (ah, the wonders of going from the upper 90's to snow!).
2. I'm grateful for my daughters and mother cleaning up the house while Michael, Steven and I paint. It's lovely to hear my daughters belting out the "Hairspray" soundtrack (Good Morning, BALTIMORE!...)but it's even cooler that Michael and I agree on music to listen to when the girls moved on. Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Journey. I had hoped for Elton John and ELO on Monday, yesterday, but Michael was doing homework and playing Coldplay. Had to laugh when he asked me if I like the 5th Dimension before he played them.
3. I'm grateful for my hot curlers because they gave my "growing out my hair" campaign a new surge.
4. I'm grateful that the girls had their Sunday School class outside and saw that Charlie had gotten the back gate open; he attended class with them. I guess I'm putting a little painting time aside this week and rebuilding a gate...
5. I'm grateful for my computer and/or Helen's. I'm really having a fun time trying to be a good blogger. I especially love having e-mail to be in close touch with my Elder in New England.
(6. I'm grateful for Allison!!! She really is my best child ever!!!!!!
6. Thank you, Allison. I am so happy to have my family feel loved by them. I'm happy to have good kids who were afraid enough of me at a young age that they listen to me now (and don't hold it against me 'cause they know that I'm right, always). My husband tells me often that he loves me and this does more for me than I can possibly describe. I love having Mom around because she likes doing my laundry and she makes me chocolate cake and lets me eat some of it raw, the only way to eat it.
7. Allison was expressing that we should make it the Sunday Seven since Sunday is the seventh day. She's eerily like me. I'm grateful for Mom and Allison and Michael having little quirks like this so I have someone who understands me when(Alli is sad that I'm not including Em 'cause she doesn't like anyone being left out... she's asking Em if she has any OCD things so she can be in on this).
HELP WANTED: I was able to put one photo at the beginning of the post but how do I get them all through the message? Please help me because I don't think I can work with this any longer!!!

I love reading your blog, your expressions in it are just like you are in real life. What a great family you have. Putting pictures throughout the blog you have to start with the bottom one first because I have found out that you can not pull them down over another. The one that you already have on your blog put it in last. Like I've told Marianne try Picasa 3 & Photoscape....they are free to download & a lot of fun to work with. I did the collage for Susan's tribute with Picasa 3. Hope you an get your pictures placed where you want them. I have had fits placing mine but just keep on trying!
Thanks for dropping a line on my blog. Yes Doug is looking more and more like his dad. I only have pictures of Homer to go by since I only met him one time when I was about 8 years old and I saw him in Petersons when I went with my dad. Give your mother a big hug and kiss from us. Wish she could make us a cake or two - ha!
Gena...cal me! I'll talk you through it. Laurel is exactly right and I can also tellyou another way I accidentally figured out!
P.S. The white railings look awesome! Have you done the living room yet?
The living room is primed and ready to go, literally. Just have to find time now that the weekend is over.
Gena, I think you need a Tuesday Ten!! I noticed you "slipped in" several things into #6 which is wonderful but you need to get "credit" for being soooo thankful (I'm pretty sure someone is keeping track). You sure do fit a lot into each day and now with all this blogging, I don't know how you get it all done! I'm sure impressed! Thanks for asking about the picture problem, I have such trouble with that and now I've learned some new tricks from the comments to your blog.
For Helen...Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog. I have such happy memories of meeting you, it really was like I had known you and your family for years. I feel so blessed to beable to get to know Brent's family better through our blogs. We love him and all of you.
Thanks for lending me your ear today it really ment a lot to me. You are a great listener and always have been. Thanks for being a great person.
I loved your Tuesday Seven, or whatever were calling it. The photo thing is tricky at first but Lyndsey can explain it really good.
I sure love ya and miss you! Have another wonderful week!
Much Love, JoLynn
P.S. I love your new background! It looks a little familiar. Great minds think a like!
