Yesterday was my birthday..... so, Happy Birthday to me! 56, yep 56 years old. AND for 38 years I've been married to, David. We celebrate our anniversary on my birthday. We're pretty happy and I don't mind saying that we still have a good chuckle most of the time.
We've been back in Texas for 2 months now and slowly but surely the house is coming together. Olivia's room is painted. Jolie's room is painted. I'll be starting on the downstairs powder bath soon and I picked up the paint for all the trim in the house and I've purchased material for the family room curtains. Slowly, slowly I'll do what I can to make this house a home for all of us.August 21 - Yep I can take my time ..... (refer to the beginning of this post)
School is starting soon, very soon... Monday, the 24th, to be exact and I'm just a bit excited, actually truth be known it can't come soon enough. Whew! I was almost out of breath spitting that out. I actually got all hyped up about it. Yep! School is starting.... school is starting. Sing it with me!!!Knitting a baby sweater for C. Martin and a pair of socks for myself. I'm sewing again! A cushion cover for Jolie's room. Curtain's for the family room. Throw pillows for the couches. I'm also getting ready to start cross-stitching for fall which will add some primitive samplers to the mix for me. Quite the eclectic mix we'll have in the house. Just imagine how much I'll get done when the kids are back in school? Wow!!! (sends shivers down the spine, just thinking about it! He! HEE!)
The piano room is Asian influence and doubles as my craft room. We're adding a Chinese screen this next week that David has inherited from his family. My hope is that it will encircle the piano, which should help protect it. The dining room is country southwest. The family room is country southwest as is my bedroom. I guess I could post pictures for everyone..... Ok. So I'll do pics this weekend and get them up on the blog for everyone to see.
