Thank you all for the kind comments.. I will respond below!
Faith: I so wish I could show you some great arrangements of the rooms now that the living room is almost painted.. but, alas I fear it will take some time to get the furniture in place.. We hadn't thought we would have to paint the windows, but the outer frame will need to be painted, but I do think I can place most of the furniture and begin to decorate.. wow, three buts in one sentence! I am chomping at the bit to pull out SPRING!!! The Bleached Linen color will be used in the kitchen and den. I think Lynn may do the kitchen next because the dining room is so full of living room articles. This is a huge jigsaw puzzle of a mess for two old fuddy duddies!! Oh, and bless my heart, I do get ahead of myself. Thankfully, after I placed a desire on my Facebook page to give my lovely Baldwin piano to a friend, I had 3 takers, the first one in was a friend of Amanda's and she is setting up for a mover today, hopefully. My prayer is that it will be soon, because I really cannot do much of anything until the piano is out!
Susanne,Wendy. Jean and Ellen B: Thank you for liking my color choices. Lynn and I are now in our seventies and , as such, you'd be surprised how loosely you start to feel about stuff. I find I am loading boxes full of stuff every week. So we are, of course, thinking what if I were left alone to deal with everything and selling a dull boring home? That would not be the best thing so we were really trying to come up with a color palette that would suit young buyers. and I think it will look very nice once it is all done. The color in the den for the bookcase which extends across the wall I think is going to be gorgeous. A couple of years ago the most popular color was Aegean Teal
which is very close to the Behr, Winter in Paris. So my dream of using a very close Aegean teal color is coming true!!
Sherry Jolly: Oh how I wish we could meet and I could discuss your questions. You really hit a cord with me.. Learning spiritual truths and biblical tenets are one of my favorite lifelong quests especially since I retired. I have been very fortunate to have a Bible Scholar who teaches the most difficult passages and studies I have ever had.. He was my Bible teacher at a church I attended 15 years ago, but he is also the leader of our local Intercessors for America group. We used to meet once a month, but with the quagmire our nation is in now, about a dozen of us meet weekly. I have grown so much in my prayer life, actually lost my fear of praying aloud because I am really only talking to God, my Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit so I wait to pray until I am urged my the Spirit to do so. Now our spiritual leader, Jim, tells me satan is afraid of the woman I am becoming. I had to remember that when I had so many really odd medical things slam against me this past year, and even when I end ed up in the hospital looking like death warmed over with a horrible infection of the gall bladder, I had every oncologist at the hospital come to me in triage to tell me sorry but you have pancreatic cancer. I immediately, without even thinking, said no way, I am a spiritual warfare warrior, and satan is trying to take me out, but I know who I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.. I do not and will not believe his lie about pc. until I hear God tell me I have it. After 3 months of trouble and in and out of hospital it was proven I never had pc but truly, I knew I never did. So There is so much to know and learn about our faith. I wish I could point you to a great book on Hermeneutics, but our pastor has taken his course work manual and copied the pages he is using to teach us and made a manual for our use. Without the videos we use to study each chapter the manual would do you no good. But if you could find a good study book perhaps on amazon on Hermeneutics.. which is how to study the Bible, it would be so beneficial to you!
The following book sounds a lot like our guide we use. It has many excellent reviews that sound like it would be a very good choice if you so are inclined!!!

Best wishes to you in your quest!!!
Preppy Empty Nester, and Elizabeth Day: YOUr encouraging words really give me the strength and energy to persevere through this pretty huge task we have taken on. I knew if I really wanted to get the whole downstairs done this year, we would have to go ahead and bite that bullet and plan to just keep getting it done. It really isn't such a huge task taking a bit at a time, I mean Lynn wouldn't agree, but to me the hard part is having the house so undone.. If Lynn intends to do the kitchen next I have a wall paper border above the chair rail I have to take down. He said that was my part of the ordeal.
