After a few weeks of silence I felt I should make some effort and try and keep the ol' blog current, even if it meant just a thought or two each day. I want to revamp the site and get some more current stuff on but it may be a while before I get the time or inspiration to do that. I have a whole bunch more video stuff I want to do including a video of Mom & Dad M's 80th birthday bash, which I haven't even looked at yet. But we have a couple of projects to do before that. Right now we are renovating Angela's old bedroom in the basement with a new paint job, closet doors and organizer and a few interior decorations in preparation for Nikki's return from Florida when she will take over the east wing. We had all the rugs in the house cleaned a couple of weeks ago and had to move all the furniture out of the downstairs bedrooms and my office. A perfect time to do renos. We will also be repainting Nikki's old room which now becomes the guest bedroom and the the little bedroom which will become an exercise/sewing room for Dianne. I am also designing and building a couple of computer desks for Dianne and myself as we sold our old ones out from under us and I am now typing this on a TV tray. Unfortunately I can't get started on the desks until the rooms are done as all the furniture and junk from the closets is piled up in my shop. So it looks like I will be busy again this winter as I try and get a few projects done. We still have our major reno project upstairs to do but that will have to wait a while.
