Another 1,000 piece puzzle completed. This is the fourth one in the last month. We found this one at a garage sale a few blocks away for $5 a couple weekends ago.

In between football Willie hung a shelf made by my paternal grandpa. It is now in the entrance to the guest room/Willie’s office and he hung his hats and is displaying several signed baseballs and a few cards. The Christian Yellich bobblehead came from a game we went to in Milwaukee quite a few years ago with some of my family.

This is one of my Alaska pieces we had framed awhile back. I finally got it on the wall of our guest room yesterday afternoon. I love how the color of the wall is also in the painting. Picking the paint for the room was not based on the print, but it was fun to see how the two of them work together.

I also hung the peacock in our bedroom. It had been on an existing nail in our main living area, but the nail was way too high. Whoever hung things up in this house before us hung them all way too high. This print hung above our toilet in the last house. If you look closely it has colors that match the bed and wall. Another unplanned art/room color pairing.

C and her friend took out the boxes of games on Friday and they remained sitting in the family room. I tried to make it through most of them on Sunday and their contents are now in our entry closet. The plan is that they eventually move to a console/cabinet that Willie is going to build, but for now, they have a home. This isn’t all of them. I have two braided bins that contain the smaller games sitting at the top of the stairs. There is at least one box worth of games left, though I think there is another one or two because after having them all laid out we are definitely missing a few. I did leave some in AK with our camper trailer, but those were duplicates.

The fall leaves on the maples are pretty.

I find it interesting what we each get out of a church service. We had a guest speaker yesterday and Willie heard about contentment and I heard about being created as his helpmate and to show Christ’s love in our constellation of relationships.

The kitten, or baby as we call him, was in a very interesting position earlier this evening.

Willie reached out to his care team today because he found a sore nodule in his armpit. Searching the internet gives one all sorts of possibilities and levels of concern. Because he has his bone marrow biopsy and various other appointments on Friday the doctor will look at him then and determine if we need to dig deeper. In the meantime, we will try to trust and not worry.
