#treetuesday was initiated by @old-guy-photos so make sure you pay him a visit.

I have not done a #treetuesday in sometime now. This photo was taken this past fall on one of our wonderful walks. Winter has me really missing long walks in our state parks! Spring is just about a week away, if mother nature cooperates.

I'm very excited to announce that my daughter has bought her 1st house and it is pretty close to us. I can't share too many pictures of it but I do have a few that show the character of the home.

The first is this original door knob. I will admit, it no longer works and will probably be replaced, but I was thrilled to spot it when I was taking a tour of the house. I just adore antique things like this.

I also love that it has the old wood work in it yet, although it made me sad that someone had painted it white.

While the house has many of its older features, it also has a lot of upgrades. The kitchen & bathrooms look pretty modern.

I'm really happy for her and her boyfriend. It's a really cute starter home and I'm sure they will make some great memories there.

I've been busy on the Minecraft server, Intrinsic. We are all pretty close to each other base wise and I hope it encourages more collaborations.

And I have been playing and streaming some new games on Twitch. Fallout 76 and Conan Exiles.I have to say I am slightly addicted to Conan.

Hubby's already bad knee started swelling a few weeks back. The bottom photo is more what it usually looks like, you can see how swollen it got in the top one. He didn't let it heal right after surgery years back because he could not afford to take the proper time off work.

In the past he's refused going to physical therapy for it but having it drained via a needle this time changed his mind. He's been going two times per week and can already tell the knee is stronger than it has been in years.

That is pretty much what has been keeping me busy and holding my attention around here since my last post.

If You Are Reading This, I Hope You Have An Awesome Day!

Love those architectural details in your daughter's new house! How fun that is close to you.

My granddaughter installed Minecraft on my laptop when she was here last weekend and it kept her busy, she offered to teach me how to play, and I told her that I already had enough computer addictions, I didn't need any more. But it made me think of you.

That must have been one painful knee! I am certainly glad that he is doing the things he needs to do to help it get better.

Yeah, if you don't wanna anther addiction, its best you don't play. lol Thanks!!

I could see myself loving it, and there simply are not enough hours in the day for more computer time!

Howdy there debralee! Yay spring is upon us! I know it's been a long winter for you guys up there, we've been in luxury here in Texas but having lived in Northern Indiana and Ohio I know what it's like.

I love those old glass door knobs, in our house in Ohio we kept them because of the character and stripped down and refinished all the woodwork much of which had been painted over. Why people do that is beyond me! lol.

That's good news about the knee though, so the therapy is helping enough that he can keep going on it?

I have never understood why people paint that either. Covering up so much natural beauty should be a crime. lol

He see's the Dr on the 20th and they will decide then if he gets more physical therapy. If not, they have taught him some really great exercises to do at home & he has been keeping up with them.

I think that needled to drain in combined with me pushing for a knee replacement, he has decided the exercise are not so bad. lol

I've looked hard at Texas on Zillow. If I could only get my family to follow me! I do not blame you for getting out of the cold stuff we have around here.

Howdy again debralee! yes it was Mrs. J's main motivation to move because she hates the cold. I grew up on a farm and ranch in Kansas so I have always wanted to get back to the country. Texas had the most reasonable prices for some land and privacy of all the states we looked at so that's why we ended up here.
Best of luck to your husband and that knee!

Hi Deb. I’m looking forward to spring too. 😊 Hubby’s knee looks painful. I hope the exercises help. U&R

Hi! I look forward to the state parks blooming so I can get out there & get new pictures. :D Thanks, he does feel better now.

That knee looks really uncomfortable. I am glad he agreed to physical therpy as it really does make a big difference. Spring is coming and we all need to get outside and once again enjoy some nature.

Thanks, the knee will always look bad but I am glad its getting stronger.

It’s so tempting to go outside these days. My tomato plant from last year already has two tiny little tomatoes on it! It must be enjoying the cooler weather.

Enjoy the gaming and I hope your husband gets better soon. Have an amazing week.

Thanks, I hope you have an amazing week too!

Thats a gorgeous shot and congrats to your daughter on the new house, from the details you shared it looks so cool

I hope your Hubbys knees keep improving

Thank you Jay!

Most welcome

That is a beautiful photo Deb! I would love to take a walk in some of those parks near you! Congratulations to your daughter and her boyfriend..so exciting! I love the styles of the older houses. Glad Jon is feeling a little better and pt is worth it. Wish I was any good at gaming but the graphics look pretty cool!! xoxo

Thanks deerjay! xoxo
