Today they brought the new window shades and installed them. Mr. and Mrs. Grove got here about ten a.m. They are sure nice people. (Remember their Rocky Mountain Home store burned down about a year ago. Their new building is ready to open next week they said and invited us to the open house.) It took them about an hour and a half to hang the eight shades. I don't know why these photos turned out so dark and couldn't edit them out of it enough either. It definitely isn't that dark in here. They are really bad but as long as this was today's happening thought I'd put the pictures in. Now perhaps some swags or window treatment. Over the big living room window, because of it's shape, perhaps a beautiful artificial floral swag would be pretty - up above the window.
The shades are actually a more creamy and bright color than the catalog showed. I had chosen a linen texture look of brown/beige. It must be that so much light is coming through them, it makes them look much lighter. If I'd know that I may have chosen a darker shade. We're both happy with them. Joe will probably have the living room closed up all the time, because the bright light is really bothering his eyes. He sits with his dark glasses (shades) on a lot of the time. S o one more thing accomplished.
Beverly called and gave the news of what is happening down there. She said the new grandson doesn't want anyone to hold him but his mother. And she has to go back to work in a few days. He will be unhappy. In a checkup at the eye doctor, her mother in law was told she had had a stroke. She fell about a year ago at Beverly's house while she was watching their dog, and now they think that's when it may have happened. But she said she was fine, so they didn't suspect more than the fall. She still wears high heels most of the time, and they are telling her they are going to take them away from her.
