Birthdays and House painting

Well, our birthdays have come and gone. Neither with much excitement. NOT!.
We had a great dinner on Sunday for my birthday at Fish Daddy's, then went home for cake and ice cream. For Azucena's, we had a little bowling party at Rockover Lanes as well as a very nice dinner that J&E cooked up. J&E, Herb and Betty and Kymie showed up. Then we played with Azucena's birthday present which she got the previous Sunday (yes, she got her birthday present on my birthday. Go figure. I won't mention who had the gall to do that, but she was married to him). Anyway, her present was the WII from Nintendo - she squealed pretty good when she opened it up. We created our on mini MII's and went to town. Bowled, played tennis, Bowled some more. Jim's dad, Herb got into it a lot more than we expected. His eyesight is going, so he doesn't get to do much any more, but with our Big Screen TV, he was able to see them pins fall. A lot of fun, the Wii's, more than I would have expected.
Changing subjects... as you know, since we plan to have foundation work done on our house, we have decided to repaint and tile the downstairs. We have selected all the paint colors we will use and have completed the stairwell and living room. Got the hard part out of the way. Plan on getting the dining room done this coming week, then the kitchen and we'll be done except for touch ups. Sesame, Pumpkin, Plum, oh my!
