Fix-up

With the help of Aija and Liga and my neighbor, I have been able to paint and re-wallpaper my bedroom. They did all the work and I had the ideas!! Taking off the old paper (three layers!) was quite a project itself. I was able to do that part but it took a long time and then I got into spakling all the cracks. Such fun.

Have ordered a new shade for the window and will figure out some other window treatment that should add some color.

As you probably can see from the pictures, there is a pipe running near the ceiling (at one time it was used for heating) and there is also one near the floor with a radiator under the window. What a job to get this all covered so that it looks nice. They did a great job and I am so happy now. It looks so nice that Liga offered to trade rooms with me.... Then she decided to fix her room, too.

Summer is just about over for us so we haven't much time to finish this project.

A Time to Say Goodbye

Shortly before our vacation Aija learned that she got the job she wanted in Luxembourg as a Nanny. This will give her a chance to make enough money to finish her education.We had good-bye party from the church and other friends. Liga and I took her to the airport. Our other team members, Mo and Wes, met us there and we had our final good-bye. It was hard to see her go but I am so happy that she is getting this experience. We miss her alot. But she will be back in Latvia for a few days in October to take her next class. The whole situation has worked out well for her. The job could last as long as two years.
