So today's blog post will feature 2 different pictures. The above is the picture from a few months ago of the new windshield going into the Ford Focus. It was really cool to watch it. It has also made the Focus much nicer to drive. Besides the Focus is all our now! The next pictures is one of the chairs from the dreaded chair project. This ...

Today is just a good day. I did well going to yard sales this morning, the weather is beautiful. I picked up yet more clothing for myself, a gorgeous heavy glass cake plate cover and a rolling duffel bag to replace the giant suitcase we have that almost always goes overweight.  I don't feel as beat up by the allergies. Its just ...

Our new guest room is in place. Our friend Nick finally got all moved out so I worked on the front room. I borrowed Treanna's trundle bed, found an old off white nightstand, and then put a banquet table and a chair in there. Once everything got in place it was a little bare but very lovely. I used my queen sized quilts on the bed, put a ...

This week has been a bit busy. I ended up picking up 2 lovely medium blue armchairs for Devin's office. I still need to head over and give them a good cleaning before he can use them but they will look very nice in his office. Treanna had a choir concert last night which was quite lovely. I could tell that the kids have been working very ...

Today did turn out to be a wonderful day even if I did discover that my turn signals were not functioning that well on my little mazda. I ended up going into the office with Devin. Partly so I could have lunch at the Olive Garden with him but also so I could help him put up his office decorations in his new office. We had a wonderful lunch where ...

A couple of weeks ago I picked up some magazines from Freecycle. I am not one to normally just go pick them up but I saw that special keyword of "Victoria" so off to Sammamish I went to get them. It was a nice drive and when I got there the piles were huge! I ended up picking up all the Victoria magazines hoping to fill in the last 4 ...

It seems that just when we think we are done with some major project or another, something new comes up. We have done so much rearranging that at times I think we must have tried everything. Nope of course not. This time our project is again Devin's office. He has had many incarnations of his office depending on the current projects, current ...

Over the weekend I really began to feel better so kind of got caught up with much of the house. We also had company over and a very relaxing visit that was just relaxing. By Sunday evening I was beginning to feel much more like myself. Consequently I again perused CraigsList as will be my wont and looked at China Cabinets. Lo and Behold I found ...

So far the week has been busy and somewhat productive. Last night and today the kids had friends overnight. They will be returning home pretty shortly just before they leave for a 2 week vacation. I have put a few new things on my calendar coming up including have a friend over for a tea party. Of course I don’t feel ready for much. At least the ...

Over the past 6+ months my washing machine has been leaking water and some sort of oily substance. It has also stopped spinning as well so laundry was taking longer and longer to get done. It had become intolerable over the last month so I began looking into a new washing machine. I decided that what I wanted was too much for our budget to buy new ...
