Changes... Changes

There are so many changes happening. First We will talk about the good changes. At my office we got new floors! They are looking pretty spiffy, and they will look great after the base boards are in. I also got a new table for my office, so now it is starting to feel complete.

Some other changes... RMR is going to be moving out to go to school in Portland. Yeah for him! He was accepted into the doctorate program. I think that is great for him, but I will miss him. Next, at the office Sis has move into her new office. It is beautiful, and I got to work over there the other day when our floors were being installed. BFFparty is going to be leaving the office to move on with her internship for school. It will be great experience for her moving into psychology.

It's funny when there are a lot of changes, I feel a little off kilter. Like my little world has been jostled a bit. All of the changes are good and I am happy for everyone involved.

Summer fun

I like summer.  I like the sun for limited periods of time.  I like to swim in the lake by my parents place.  I like the longer days.  But, wow is it HOT!  Whew.

I have been wanting to get into wood working.  So, I bought an antique table and I have started to refinish it.  I am doing this in my parents garage.  They have the tools and the space, and it is just a short jaunt for me to get down there to work on it.  Besides, now that they are in Florida for half of the year, I don't get to see them as much.  This is a very good reason to get my butt down there to visit.

I am so excited, I have the whole table stripped, and just have a few more coats of sanding to do then I will begin the process of staining.  If the stain doesn't turn out good, I will paint it.  I know this will sound like famous last words but... how hard can it be?







The finished product...



Another Birthday has come and gone

The big Three Nine.  It's here.  I knew it was coming, but it has always seemed so far away.  It is not far away any more.

Ah well.  I'm good with it.  I think I had a very small wow, that is one year from forty moment, but it passed quickly.

Happy Birthday to me!!!
