The posts have been a little sparse lately due to not having any time. We have been madly renovating the upstairs bedroom for the last four days and finally got that done yesterday just in time for an engagement dinner party for Angie and Lee. Our family was joined for the evening by Lee's Mom & Dad, his sister and her boyfriend.
The renovation looks great and everything went well except for one dissapointing thing. Dianne had spotted a hide-a-bed on sale at Costco which she fell in love with and decided to get for her new "study". We bought it and hauled it home yesterday only to discover that no matter how we twisted it and turned it and cajoled it, it was not going in that room without major explosives. So with tears in her eyes, Dianne had to return the hide-a-bed to Costco and resign herself to the fact that hide-a-beds are not designed for small bedrooms with tiny doorways and that she would have to settle for a futon instead. In the meantime it was several good renovation hours wasted as Lee and I had to haul that thing on and off the truck several times with much panting and sweating. Now the rule is two word: tape measure; don't leave home without it.
