I hope everyone has a very happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving!!! I am lucky enough to be spending it with the majority of my family but am sad that the other members of my family will be unable to be here with us. I will miss them!
I hope everyone travels safely and that you all enjoy the tasty food (but don't over-do it).

My Home's Rebirth
Well, I am happy to report some progress with my home. I have pictures to show, but I do admit, it's not as nice as it is in person. What makes it really interesting is comparing the before pictures with the after pictures. I hope you enjoy :) Please note, however, that all rooms are not completed yet...
One side of the front room. I am really happy with the color of paint :) |
My piano (well, I am piano sitting, so it's not really mine, but we have bonded). I love the small table with the one chair. No worries...that will be replaced...some time. |
My kitchen. I should have waited to take the pictures until after I washed those dishes. Oh well. |
The guest room...and yes, it has been "child-ized" I love it! And I am very happy with the color of the wall. |
This picture is here not only to show off Nicholas (he's about as old as I am) but also to show the wall. There was wall paper on this wall. I think it looks 1000 times better! |
