Whew! Gladys has seen a remarkable (and expensive) transformation, but we are happy to say that the inside remodeling is complete, and we have a good start on the landscaping on the outside. We are leaving Gladys looking pretty snazzy, so we are happy with the progress we have made this year.
Perhaps next year, we can start to act like a couple of retired people enjoying the good life in Florida.
