Monday (18) Today we did all the routine thing to get going. Next we got started on the laundry. After lunch we took the dogs on a walk. Then Steve brought up the subject of getting the Hutch painted to match the new cabinets. So we figured out what we need in the way of paint color and about how much. We put away all the knick knacks in the hutch to get it ready to paint. We finished the day with TV.
Tuesday (19) We got up and around, then we drove to Stillwater. Our first stop was Lowe's to get the paint and supplies we need. Next was a stop at Walmart. After arriving home and unloading our supplies we had lunch and rested a bit. Our evening entertainment was supper at La Macarena and back home to watch some TV.
Wednesday (20) After breakfast we took a walk before we started the real work. First off I washed the paneling and Steve filled holes in the wall. Next we washed the hutch. I had a strip of wallpaper border as trim (like a chair rail), so that had to be removed. We have a steamer so that made the job much easier. By then we were somewhat tired - so we relaxed.

Thursday (21) Today I had a doctor's appointment at Ponca City today. So we headed up there about 9 AM. I went fasting so I could have my lab work done. Our lunch was at Enrique's. It's a Mexican restaurant at the airport in Ponca City. I love to eat there. There food is great and you get the added benefit of watching the small airplanes come and go. We checked out a new store in Ponca City, Ollies. Of course we didn't buy anything. I had a mammogram next and then we went home. Later we watched the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns play football.

Friday (22) We returned to Oklahoma City to the VA for another appointment for Steve. Man we should be really health soon! They completed a new parking garage last year or the year before and yet today we had trouble finding a place to park. They had one level of the parking garage closed off. Who knows why? We were back home by noon, in time to have lunch. After lunch we started working on the hutch. We have to strip the old finish off and sand before we can start painting.
Saturday (23) This morning we started working on the hutch right after breakfast. We did check in on the OU Football game some also. Then it was time for lunch and a few errands. OSU played this afternoon so we had to stop and watch the game. OSU got beat 24 - 21 by Iowa State. Darn!
Sunday (24) Today we kept using the stripper and sanding the hutch. We did watch the Green Bay Packers. The dogs talked us into taking them for a drive to CCC Lake for a walk. It is taking a lot of prep work to get the hutch ready to paint. It's a job and not one I would want to repeat.
