This morning we spent as usual, breakfast, then time spent deciding what to do with the rest of the day. Chris needed a prescription that had been filled at the Kaiser Clinic, so we went down there and got it and ordered one for me to be picked up in a couple of days. Then we went to Home Depot to pay for the new carpet. That took a while, they seemed to be so busy there, I was quite surprised when it seems there is a recession on just now. You would think people wouldn't be buying stuff. Maybe it's because of the recession - people are doing their own work on their houses because they can't afford to get someone else to do it. Thank goodness we have a good man and his crew working on our house, to get it ready to sell. From Home Depot we went to the house, and the vertical blinds are all in place. As soon as the paint on the walls is dry, the carpet will be installed. The house will look nice, I'm sure. But the yard is something quite awful. We will have to get someone to fix it up, and do some repair to the brick walls that are coming apart. The lemon tree is covered with tiny little green lemons, and I hope they do develop into really good lemons. Later in the day Ramon Belten, who is doing the work on the house, came over to Las Villas to get a check in payment for what he has already done. He has paid for the materials he used, like all the paint for the house and for his crew, so we gave him a check for that. We will have to give him more before the house is ready. But will be worth it, I hope, when we are able to sell it.
