My New Table

 


It's my new table!!! Well, actually, it is my old table with a beautiful new finish. Isn't it amazing. When we bought our little antique table I refinished all the chairs and started on the table. For some reason I never finished the table and we moved it in the house. I know we must have thought that was a good idea at the time. I'm sure I intended to refinish it. But here we were, it was 7 years later and the table still had not been recovered. So my Dad once again saved the table. Dad to the rescue. He took it to his house and refinished it. Thanks so much Dad! In the 7 years that the table was unfinished Dad had made a tile topper that I could set on it that protected it. It was really beautiful too. I just couldn't use the table leaves with it. So anyways this is one of the exciting things in our house right now.

Wonderful Weather

Hello,
I should have written sooner. We have been suffering from cabin fever here. I keep thinking of that Muppet's movie with the cabin fever song, but then I think I'm the only one who has ever seen that. So the boys have been sick and the highs have been around 30 for the last week. In a moment of desperation, we bundled up and headed to town with only the plan of going to Chick-fil-A. Drive Thru no less because I wasn't getting out in the cold again. Sorry to my northern relatives. This winter has been brutal. I have actually seen enough snow. I never thought I would say that. We have had days we couldn't leave our house, because all of the roads were closed to get us over any mountain. We don't usually even get our big snows until March, but I am so over snow this year. I am thankful we got it. It has been a lot of fun, but BRING ON THE SPRING! So anyway we ended up having a picnic in our car. All of us packed in the front seat in the sunshine. The boys loved it. Then I had one errand to run that happened to be next to a demolition site. We stayed and watched that for a long time. We saw lots of other little boys with their moms, stopping to watch too. What a day. The last two days have gotten close to 60 degrees. It has been marvelous. I will be sad when we drop into the 30's again. My children have actually seen the grass. Well at this point if it's sunny and 39 we will go out. As long as there is no wind. So that's all for our week.
