The color of coffee with a lot of milk in it with bright white trim.

That color with white trim was popular about 10-15 years ago. Then gray became popular. I understand the designers are returning to earth tones so should be right in style!

The floor is scored concrete, looks like tiles, stained shades of rust, brown and a touch of black. It really looks good with the new paint. The bedrooms were carpeted and they took that up and had vinyl plank put down.

A good idea. I hate carpet. Impossible to fully clean.

Sounds really pretty. I think the wall color will really look good with those floor colors. I like scored and died concrete floors, but the plank vinyl is easier on the ankles.
We will put plank vinyl in the living room, kitchen, halls and bathroms in Texas. I took out the carpet and put plank vinyl in all the apartment units. I laid it myself in the apartments, and laid it in my office and the entryway in the California house. I laid laminate in the 4 bedrooms here in California, but will put carpet in the bedrooms in TX since vacuuming is easier than sweeping and mopping around beds, etc. Also won't have any untrained puppies to potty train.

It’s been a fun week. I picked up the little granddaughters on Sunday, October 27, took them to meet my son in law yesterday November 2. So o had them for Halloween. Mom forgot to pack their costumes! So we went to Lufkin to Walmart. They spent an hour agonizing over their choices. No more Disney princesses, no more fairies, no more super heroes, that left nothing. FINALLY #3 chose a Moana costume and #2 chose a Snow White, so much for Disney princesses. Then we went to go pay for them. Sitting in the middle of the aisle were these things called Squish Mallows. Wearable animal characters that looked like an oblong soft squishy stuffed animal. Price went from $10 each to $39 each. No problem—I had their Mom’s credit card!
The next day, #2 told me that’s what they wanted in Walmart in Corpus Christi, but Mom said they cost too much money!
BWA HA HA HA HA!!!
But let me back up. On Monday I had a doctor appointment in Tyler so we were up early and gone. We stopped at Loves Lookout in Jacksonville where I took their picture sitting on a giant concrete tomato.
Next day we constructed a new hoop cover for round bales in the front field, in preparation for dry lotting the ewes in the front field. My son set the hay bales, letting the girls sit in his lap and drive the tractor.
Halloween morning we went to the Forestry Museum in Lufkin for the I Spy trail. They were given a card with a list of what to look for and how many of each. The trees were decorated with skeletons, spiders, a bumblebee, super heroes, fairies and vampires. We found all but one skeleton. Then we went home.
A friend on TEG that lives in Iowa, saw a Texas adult coloring book and sent it to me. Perfect for spending time with granddaughters! It was a bleary, drizzling day, so we colored.
#2 picked an intricate detailed picture, and did really good. She wants to be an artist.
#3 picked a picture of a horse and she did good too!
I even did one!
Then we took care of animals, had tacos for supper and went trick or treating.

The community of Apple Springs really celebrated Halloween for the kids. There was even a FB post for people who were giving out candy with their names, addresses and directions to their house. The local grocery/convience store and the Subway inside gave out candy. The volunteer station gave out candy, plus quite a few homes. People decorated for Halloween and one place we went even put up a spook house. Good thing people responded to the FB post or we would have never found some of them.
The girls made quite a haul.
No visit is complete without lots of playing with sheep. Here they were learning to be quiet, still and small, not standing up and looking like big child monsters.
The girls adore the dogs and the dogs adore them right back. Lots of tummy rubs and chest scratches.
The next night after Halloween, a local small school had a carnival. We walked in and there was a mechanical bull! Of course both wanted to ride the bull. I took pictures plus videos. I sent the videos to their parents. DSIL responded back, “Did you take them to a bar??”
Yesterday morning before we left to go meet their Dad, we found some petrified wood.
We had a fun week!
