This is just a refacing.

Our first day we just looked to see what we need to make it happen. Went shopping and got most of everything we will need. Roy and I came back on the 20th of March to start pulling stuff off wallpaper and molding. During this time, (next day 21st) Jeanne and I are making cupcakes and cakes and whatever else to get ready for the BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY.  

That is Kaslyn and Kadan BIG DAY.

Okay, this is Vince's master bathroom. He has been wanting to just make it look better. When he moved in about 7 years ago, there was a roof leak. It took him a while before he got a new roof. So, since now he has a new roof. He wants to put up Wayne's Coating and just new molding too. So, mean while we need to get all the old modeling off plus peel off the old wallpaper and whatever there is to help make the Wayne's Coating to stuck up and last a while. So, cleaning it up took us a day. 

Now this is after the BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY. March 25th. Started putting up the Wayne's coating . 

Here you might be able to see the ceiling damage. Roy put up a piece of paneling up over the hole in the ceiling. Then used spackle to patch it up. So, during the time he worked on that. I started cutting the Wayne's coating and making sure everything fixed properly. 

All the Waye's coating it up. Now need to repair the flooring. There was a couple of spots that were not finished correctly. So, I cut small piece of flooring and put them down with a nail gun and put the floor molding down over it. Vince bought the brown floor molding a while back and wanted us to use it up. Which we did. 

Then put up the molding on the ceiling next. 

We put up a new LED light on the ceiling. Plus took down the mirrors and Vince wanted them back up afterwards. So, we put molding around them to finish them off. 

The ceiling fan, Vince took down to clean up and repaint it after we were done. 

Overall, I think it looks much better and Vince will repaint the walls and ceiling down the road. he asked if we could, do it? Roy and I really not to happy about painting anymore. Hey, Roy uses to have a business painting homes and businesses. So, we are kind both tried of painting. Let the youth do it. 

At the end of the day, time was 6+pm. We just wanted to get the job done and just kept working until DONE. 

Vince and his wife were very happy to see all the improvements. 

Roy and I walked away making a few bucks and knowing we did a good job was worth it. 

Well, as I am writing this today, I am thinking about how hard it was for Jesus to know what this day would be about back 2024 plus years. 

IT'S GOOD FRIDAY. Thinking, it really was A GLORIOUS DAY. From this day to today.

 OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. 

Please try to talk with Him today, He is the only One that can forgive sins. 

REMMEBER 3PM HE DEAD FOR US ALL. 

BUT looking forward, SUNDAY IS COMING. 

 

THE BRITHDAY PARTY IS HERE, Kadan (18 year old) and Kashlyn (16 years old)

Christa (mom) rented out the Elks Club in Port Saint Lucie. This all happen on March 23rd 2024

This is called the desert table. 

My little girl made all of the cup cakes. cake and other items. 

We sat at Jake's Table #1. Now if you didn't know this. Jake (Jeanne's son) Christa and him lived together for 10 years plus. So, Jake was pretty much the Kadan and Kashlyn's dad. 

This is the party room of the Elks Club. Coming into the front door. 

Christa set a large T.V. next to the desert table. There she put in old pictures of the children and Jake and her. So, I saw this picture and had to take a picture of it. You can see how far back Jake and Christa have been together. 

These are a couple of Kashlyn friends. 

This is Kadan and Kashlyn. 

Christa and the children, plus Jeanne made these pretzels with dark chocolate and other chocolates covers. . 

 

This is the son and mom dance. Kadan and Christa. 

Christa and Kashlyn.

Christa and my baby, cutting the cake. 

Boy, this was a hit. 

Folks, I am not sure how many people came. But I know everyone I talked too told me they all were having a great time. The photo booth went over too. I was watching that area; I saw old folks and young children taking photos. 

Well, today is Thursday and day before GOOD FRIDAY. 

I keep remembering how The Lord saved me and protected me. 

My prayer for this weekend is that anyone that read my blogs lately read HIS WORD.

Please remember, Jesus Christ dead for our sins. 

THE MOST INPORTANT DAY IS SUNDAY. 

HE HAS RISEN ON EASTER SUNDAY.  

 

My baby is making cakes and cupcakes, plus.

We got to the school and started by mixing the cake mixes. 

The cakes and cupcakes are baked and ready for the freezer. 

I worked on the Cowboy Beans. 

Jeanne had to cut up the chocolate. Make it's easier to mix up and keep to smooth. 

Okay, Friday is winding down and we need to get everything in the freezer. 

The Cowboy Beans are put into the aluminum pans. They are set on quart sheets pans. This way they are easier to move, plus not spill out. 

These were put into the refrigerator. 

This now is Saturday morning. Ready to get everything ready for the party. 

Thew grandchildren (Kadan/Kaslyn) and their mom (Christa) help make the chocolate shells and all kinds of things. Plus coated the pretzels too. My baby put the finishing touches. It's like fairy dust. 

My baby piped the cupcakes and put the shells on too. What is piping? It is putting the frosting in a bag and having a special tip that does the spirals. 

If you didn't know this or not. Jeanne my wife uses to teach baking at two different collages. Plus, her and her hubbly (Bubba) had a bakery too. So, my little girl has been down the road many times. 

She made this large shell on Thursday with the grand kids. This is the main piece for the top of the cake. It might be a couple of days before you will see the finished. Plus, pictures from the BIG PARTY. 

Folks I know my baby and I are so happy everything came out and looked great too. But we are so happy that today is SUNDAY. 

So, today is our day of rest. I am trying to get a couple of things done today, the blog was my main point to get done. So, her you go. 

This morning, we didn't get up and dressed to go to church. We watched it online. YouTube. 

The church we go to and watch online is The Crossing Community Church. Our Pastor is Craig Bridges. Jeanne has known him since 1990. I have known him since 1997. So, Pastor Criag is our teacher and friend too. 

His Title is HE SAID WHAT? As today is Palm Sunday. Pastor talked about Luke 23:32 to 43.

This is where the two criminals are hung up on the crosses where Jesus is hung with them. One of the criminals hanging beside Jesus scoffed. "So, you're the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself-and us, too, while you're at it" But the other criminal protested, 'Don't you fear GOD even when you are drying?  We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this man hasn't done anything wrong" Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."

"And Jesus replied, I assure you today you will be with me in paradise."

Well, Criag was talking about how people say things like, YOU DESIRED IT. 

What goes around will come around. 

Folks if we think things like that, one of these days we will be near our death bed. Thinking, what have I done? Have I done more good than bad? 

Folks, we all need to thank our Lord Jesus Christ. 

As we are Christians, God doesn't see our sins, mistakes whatever. 

We are washed in Jesus's blood. God sees Jesus. 

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IT'S NOT WHAT WE DESIRE. 

Ephesians 2:8 to 10

God saved you by his special favor when you believe. And you can't take credit for this, it is a 

GIFT FROM GOD. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do good things he planned for us long ago. 

Hey, everyone I would love to hear from you. How God's is using YOU. 

I love you all. Thank you for listening.
