No Joke! I will learn this sport..

The end of March was a awesome trip to Scottsdale, AZ. to play golf, yes, golf, I learned, that even in golf you have to do yard work. What the heck. I did get out of the bunker though.










Nothing but fun. Never thought I would be doing this. Never say never. Had a great time.


Yep, I guess everyone has a chance in the sand. Why else would they be on a golf course?









Enjoyed the beginning of Spring. I hope! I am ready for the sun shine, here in SO. California too.





Guess these guys, have a challenge now, I am going to get really good. Learn all I can, and smash that beast!






Pool side was of course fun too. To just relax by the pool. What a treat.
Can't wait to do it again.









Now if the weather would just warm up, we can get the boat out and enjoy some more Spring, and Summer events. Looking forward to it all.














Only washed a few balls, not to bad, for a beginner. I will get it. Look out guys, I may show you up someday.







What's with the smug look Kenny? Afraid? You should be, I am on a roll.

LETS GET IT DONE & It's nice to have good friends.

Here it is March 2010, so much has been happening this month all ready. We haven't taken any trips, but, alot of excitement around here has been happening for the past few weeks. Messes made, messes cleaned up, & lots of work done & of course one thing always leads to another and so it goes.

We began the month with painters, in and around inside the living room, entry, dinning, stairs, halls, front door outside, lots of windows and doors. Strong fumes, for a few days, and a lot of mess. BUT.....


We had a great crew, on the job. (Matt Dean Painting, Inc.)

I would definitely have them again, and recommend them.




























Oh my goodness, These projects always take so much work and time, and make it almost unbearable for a bit, until it's finally finished.

.

















Then had the marble/granite master bathroom diamond sanded down and polished, upon doing so the glass shower wall had to be removed and restored afterward. What a job that was, so yet another crew came in for that. Having them here, I then decided to grind down and polish the kitchen counters granite as well.

We had a very kind friend and Bishop of our singles ward, repair our stove ignition mechanize that hasn't worked for years.
Thanks to Bishop Gary Brunner & dear friend & his wife Kathy

Nice to finally turn the switch and have a burner actually lite on it's
own. No more fire starters.





















Thanks to Mike. Thanks to Logan Cope, READY CLEAN & Cory, with Cory Spafford Construciton


While the other Romberg Family (Kevin Romberg's) were on their trip for 5 days, and away, I got Ken to agree to help me with another bathroom in need of new flooring and so we began what I thought would be a quick and easy job, having done much tiling before together.

As it turned out the floor base needed to be scraped down as there was damage and that included tearing out the toilet, shower doors, and removing and sanding & painting the vanity drawers and doors. These are the before photo's of the floor, vanity, shower, toilet.








































Here is Ken once again on his knee's. (Probably praying I am not conjuring up another project) I am such a slave driver.



































Work in progress, coming along nicely......



























WHO HOOO!
It turned out extremely nice, for 2 people that are not officially trained in the field!




IT'S BEEN 15 YEARS IN THIS HOUSE! STILL LOVING IT BUT OWNING A HOME MEANS CONSTANT UPKEEP!

Knowing we had been in the house 15 years, as of Dec. 2009, we got to the fact that our water heater might be in need of a change so upon checking that we determined that the tag on it said, it was 20 years old, and opted to get a plumber out to help us decide what to do. Yes, a new water heater system was in bad need. Boy it's good to know people who do good things.

So "TWANDA" aka: Valerie gets started, as most of my family know I am really good at tearing things up, sometimes only to find a pro. is needed to fix my messes.























The old water heater was just on the edge of getting ready to blow. Very rusted out. This is one project we decided needed the expert in his field. SO......Yet another mess was made to clean up.










The team! advertisement Darin.
Thanks to Ravco Plumbing Inc. & Crew














When they came to remove it, sure enough it was almost rusted clean through.







Oh my goodness what a mess that could have been if it had broken. LOTS! of water would have gone......throughout the whole garage, yikes.








So we put in 2 new tank-less systems, and had to order a water softener to be installed (at a later date) when it arrives.













Of course as I said, one thing leads to another, and a new larger, gas line was in need of installation for this particular system for this house.
Just a side note:
Logan Cope, READY CLEAN you will be getting a call very soon!


I am so tired just thinking about the last 3 weeks, we have been in quite a clear it out, clean it up mode.
Spring cleaning around here has begun early, and taken on a whole new meaning and hopefully will end soon. This will be the beginning of a year we won't soon forget.


Tomorrow, March 13th we will host the Kari Rall/ David Lawrence "Open House" for a newly sealed couple in our Singles Ward, where else here at our home. READY SET GO! After Sat. we will have the Goldenwest Ward Singles at our home for FHE, & St. Pat's Day Potluck.

THEN we will be ready for a VACATION!!! ANYWHERE!!!



The month of March I have noticed is only 12 days in what will I do with the last few weeks of March?
Don't worry I will think of something! he he he (shhhh! don't tell Ken)



A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO MY DEAR HUSBAND KEN WHO PUTS UP WITH ALL OF MY WISHES! I LOVE YOU!

I always thought that this blog thing was a bad idea, but....here I am again.
What the heck happened to the end of 2009? I lost a few Holiday's along the way and now it's FEBRUARY, the ground hog has seen his shadow, and I am a month behind again. What is up with that? I have added a few new photo's on a new Picasa Album, randomly but....having said that. Let me try to catch up, slowly. I will get back to this blog thing eventually. Lots going on especially with the Romberg Family's. Right now I am enjoying being with Family's in Utah. Snow, skiing, watching grandchildren, Rylie's getting baptised, Bryan's playing basketball, Zackary is growing to fast, and Layla talks ALOT! She wanted me to put these photo's on here so that's why you are seeing silly Layla, purple,princess fairy (she calls herself)....(who I am watching for the next couple days)..... & On & On & On......... Later.........
