I was already to get back on a regular posting schedule when my Dad ended up in the hospital. He is 92 now and it doesn’t take a lot to knock him off his feet. He was there for 5 days and came home with visiting nurses. I am the only child that lives close, so I spend a lot of time over at their place helping out with lots of things. I love my mom and dad dearly, so it is my blessing to spend time with them.</p> <p> At the Antique Mall, I have three booths now. Fall is starting to wind down and I am hoping to get a lot of the Christmas décor in this weekend. I wanted to share some pictures of the booths as they are now before the festive decorations go in. I am not a huge fall decorator, but I did have a little in there.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-A13Nl-zBhec/VFFIfrLPrzI/AAAAAAAACik/S02_on5E4ho/s1600-h/20141017_174450%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="20141017_174450" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="20141017_174450" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mWBofaDZV3o/VFFIgCmySCI/AAAAAAAACis/Zi7ujejCta8/20141017_174450_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="543" height="324"></a></p> <p>The enormous silver birdcage has sold and so has the cape and mask hanging to the left.

Life has been hectic for me for the last two years, I keep thinking things will settle down and get back to normal. My husband and I sold the business we had for over 25 years in 2012. Then my parents moved to a retirement center, then our daughter sold her house and moved home for 6 months. Then we had a precious new granddaughter, then my parents moved again. Then our daughter found another house and we needed to help her get moved. Then my husband started a new business and I get to help keep it running smoothly. During that time we rescued two more dogs and now have three crazy big dogs running the house. My mom and I went from antique booths in one mall to three. Whew! Craziness that will not stop. I kept thinking I would get settled and life would return to normal, but I think this is my new normal.<br />
<br />
Last month I turned 60 and finally said, this has to change. I moved all of my stuff back into one antique mall. I do have three booths, but at least only one building. That’s a huge relief. Everyone is finally finished moving and I have decided that its time for me to take care of me. I have a problem with feeling selfish, I have always been the one to help others, but at some point it hit me, I have to take care of myself first.<br />
<br />
So, I decided to come back and write again. Share what I love to do, and that is create and collect. I am not only going to write on this blog, but also on another blog I started a long time ago, Stitch Daily. Be sure to check it out if you love to sew.<br />
<br />
I know that I am not the only one who has gone through such big changes in life. I would love to hear how any of you have survived big changes like these.<br />
<br />
I’ll be back tomorrow with a post about something fun. In the mean time, I’ll be browsing Pinterest. It’s been my me time. <img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ttIgF3v2Oks/VD54WoeSFPI/AAAAAAAACh0/j2jQf7lGiwk/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /><br />

It's been forever and a day since I've set down typed anything. I have been so overwhelmed with life, I haven't thought much about creating and sharing anything until just recently. <br />
At the beginning of the year, I made a committment to declutter my house and life. Yes, it's really a resolution, but I thought if I called it a committment it would mean more. So, I made a list and I'm slowly working through it. I will show off some updates soon. I am loving seeing each space clean up. I just need to stay on track and work a little more consistently ;) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Well, I did start getting creative again for Christmas. I know, it's almost St Patty's Day and I am just now sharing Christmas presents. I guess I've got to start somewhere. <br />
I really like to make something for each of the grandchildren, we have seven. I always get toys on their list as well, but I want to make sure they have something they know I made. They love to lay on the floor and watch tv or play video games, so I decided to make them giant floor pillows. I made them out of a lot of my stash of fabrics, but made sure I individualized them.<br />

The oldest two are 13 and 16 and they got money and gift cards. <br />
But, occasionally they steal their little brothers pillows.<br />
<br />
This has been a long enough post, and it felt great to be back.<br />
I will be back soon, I promise. I've got more pillows to share!<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Another week, another move. My oldest son and his family have somehow gotten into the business of house rehab. They buy a house in need of updating and live in it 2-3 years while fixing it up, then sell it for a big profit. They just sold their second rehab project and their goal is to pay cash for a house in a few years. Well, this time they sold their house and couldn't find another one to buy in time so yesterday they moved into a farmhouse rental. I thought for sure they would buy it after a few months, but after I saw it I changed my mind. It was in bad shape, floors leaning,etc. I wasn't smart enough to take any pics, but I will take some soon and show you how they fix it up over the next few months. My mom and dad are moving in 3 weeks, so I'll be helping them get packed and ready.</span></div>

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. We watched fireworks after dark, but spent most of the day working on projects around the house. I seem to always have multiple projects that are half finished, and I am committing to finishing those before I start anything new. Hopefully as I get them finished, I have something to share with you.</div>

My daughter-in-law texted me one day (her primary method of communication) and asked if I had a vintage table of some kind. Her younger sister was getting married and having a vintage wedding. They were having the wedding outdoors (in early May) and needed someplace for the minister to set the Bible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't have any old tables, but I had this lovely old dresser. With its pretty pink glass knobs, it was perfect. They loved it, but wanted it to be off white. So, I tried some home made chalk paint. I had not used the unsanded grout recipe before and decided to go with it. It worked great, but I didn't like how it set up like plaster, mix a new batch with each coat. I would love to hear the solution to that.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it snowed here and the ground was a mess, so the wedding had to be moved indoors. There ended up not being enough room for the dresser since space was so tight, but her parents ended up buying it for her as a keepsake from her wedding. I love seeing young people who love vintage pieces as much as I do. Sorry for the poor quality picture, but the weather was not cooperating to get it outside in the daylight!</div>

My darling grandson was the ring bearer, dressed like a little newsboy. And my daughter in law was a bridesmaid. It was truly a vintage wedding in an old converted barn. Really cool place!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I have been MIA for the last month. I am really trying to get my life together, but when I get one thing accomplished, another one pops up. I finally got my parents storage unit emptied out from their move to senior living last year. Now we're sorting through it all and putting some of it in the antique booth. Between trying to send loads of stuff to Goodwill and trying to organize their apartment we have been very busy. </div>

I think I shared that we were getting a new dog back in April. Sophie makes puppy #3 in our household and three dogs is at least three times as much work as two. We absolutely adore her, but keeping up with her energy level is not easy. I am walking her daily, so that seems to be helping, probably me as much as her! I'm losing weight, but she is still growing.</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: x-large;"> Welcome back to Restyled Sundays!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: medium;">Another week gone by! Between work and the antique stores, I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going. On top of all of that, my Mom and Dad rented a storeroom last year when they moved into senior living. Its time to get everything out of there since they aren't ever going to use any of it. I learned the art of being a pack rat from two of the best, so this process has me really looking at simplifying my life as soon as possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: medium;">Well, enough about me, let's take. Look at last weeks party.</span></div>

love with her, but one of our other dogs is not so thrilled. We are going to </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am actually writing this early, which is really odd since I never do anything</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
early. But, sweet hubby and I are driving today from Olathe, Kansas to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chattanooga, Tennesee to pick up another dog. My niece was looking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a new home for this sweet girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She will be one year old next Thursday and they can no longer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keep her, so we can't say no to such a sweet face.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sophie will be our third dog, maybe we are crazy, but we love them all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am just praying now that Lady and Ellie like her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll share more pics when I get her home!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I want to thank each of you that joined in to the party last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And thanks to all of you who just come to read. I really love to read</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;">I don't know if anyone else noticed, because I didn't until just now, but last week was</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
really week #60 and I labeled it #50. So now we are on the right track, and I am</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
officially a dummy! Probably more like ADD and I have to many things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
running around in my head at once. Oh well, we are all good now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did not get to keep our warm weather long, but surely spring is a coming</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since my flowers are all starting to shoot up little sprouts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really want to rework my garden this year. It would really help to have shade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
loving plants in the shade and sun in the sun. My knock out roses only</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bloom a little under the big birch trees. I'll try to get some pics soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, lets get on with the party. Thanks so much for all who joined</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in last week. I love seeing what you have done.</div>

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Another busy week, and I finally had a little time to work at the antique</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
store. It felt so good to be in their rearranging, but I have a lot of work </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to do to make it as pretty as I would like. The best part of the week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the weather. It was actually 77 degrees yesterday and even though it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was a little windy, I could not wait to get out a shake my can of Krylon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No, I am not leaving this red. But it will probably take a couple</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of cans of spray paint to cover this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div align="center">
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: black;">I decided to wait today until everyone had time to spend with their families on Easter.</span></div>
<div align="center">
We are so blessed to have family to be with on this Holy Day. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Yesterday our family had a huge gathering at our house. We did the Easter Egg </div>
<div align="center">
hunt in the rain, then had brunch a lot's of fun and conversation followed.</div>
<div align="center">
Everyone was able to come, so it was great.</div>
<div align="center">
Today, we went to lunch at my parents senior living facility.</div>
<div align="center">
They had prime rib for all, but being a vegetarian, I chowed down on the </div>
<div align="center">
veggies and had a wonderful baked sweet potatoe. Yum, nothing better.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
We had a great party last week, and I want to tell you the weatherman was</div>
<div align="center">
right on with the forecast. We got 9" of snow on Sunday morning, but it was</div>
<div align="center">
all gone by Friday. Yeah! I really hope that was the end of it.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Now I want to share my favorites from last week.</div>
<div align="center">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!</strong></span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Well, I disappeared once again. But, this time we actually got our daughter moved </div>
<div align="center">
into her house. I have spent the last three weeks painting and lining shelves to get her </div>
<div align="center">
ready to move in. There is still alot to do, but at least she is in and I am able to spend</div>
<div align="center">
some time at home and get my house back together. I sure did love having her here,</div>
<div align="center">
but I am sure we are both glad to have our own spaces again.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Last time I posted, we had been trying to survive snowmageddon. Well, today we</div>
<div align="center">
are getting nailed with snow again. We are supposed to get 9-10" overnight tonite.</div>
<div align="center">
Maybe I can get some projects finished while I am stuck in the house.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Even though it's been a couple of weeks since the last party, I still want to thank everyone for </div>
<div align="center">
sharing. I am still going to share my favorite projects.</div>

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: black;">Sorry I missed the party last week and have been out of touch. We have been dealing</span></div>
<div align="center">
with the Blizzard of OZ times Two. I did get some beautiful pictures, but we had 12" of snow</div>
<div align="center">
a week ago Thursday, and then another 12" this last Tuesday. For someone who thought</div>
<div align="center">
that Spring was almost here, I was not prepared. So I made soup and pie and lots of goodies</div>
<div align="center">
and did nothing but paperwork for two weeks .I was suffering from gray skies and a</div>
<div align="center">
lack of inspiration.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These yews normally completely hide the utility box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At least it was interesting to look at. But I am so happy that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we are going to hit 40 degrees today and see some melting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, back to the party!</div>

It is really true that you never know what tomorrow will bring, but when my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
daughter in law called me on Tuesday in tears, I was really shocked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There house had caught on fire. It was nearly a total loss, and worst</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of all, they lost their dear sweet dog Buddy. It was Gods blessing that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they were not home and everyone is safe. They apparently had a faulty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
switch on the stove and it turned itself on. It was a glass top range, and they</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
frequently set things on top of it since they did not have alot of counter space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, they begin the overwhelming task of rebuilding. They are doing well,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and have some great support systems, but it will take time. Please, keep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike, Laura, Connor and Alaina in your prayers. And if you would, please</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
say a word for Buddy as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, on to this weeks party. You all shared some great posts last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays!</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow, another week slipped by and I did not post once. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had such great intentions, but I have to realize that I can only do </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what I can do. We have some great finds that I can't wait to share from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our daughters house makeover. But, this week ever spare minute went</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to painting, painting, and more painting. Add working four days this week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you can see why there were no extra posts :(.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really was excited to see the great projects and finds that you all shared</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this week at Restyled Sundays. I wish I could feature you all, but I will </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just do a few of my favorites.</div>

With our daughter in a new house and so many projects to do, I thought I would share some of the things we are fixing up as we go. Fortunately, she didn't have to move in immediately, since she is living with us. So, we can go in a fix things first, then she can move in. Her house is about 25 years old and was all builder grade quality when new. Now it's old builder grade in lots of ways, with some really nice quality in others. I will get to those areas as we go, but now I'm gonna show you how I fix some things on a budget.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ManRqiUNNHQ/UQpj0Rhr-1I/AAAAAAAACMc/2E436cW57-o/s1600/Jennis+House+015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ManRqiUNNHQ/UQpj0Rhr-1I/AAAAAAAACMc/2E436cW57-o/s320/Jennis+House+015.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bathroom cabinets are the originals, and the floor of the base cabinets (under the sinks) were disintegrating. That lovely old particle board only holds up so long after shampoo and cleaners spill on it. As I was scraping up the nasty residue, the particle board fell apart. Ugh...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--O_obCB4Ul4/UQpkQT3ZDMI/AAAAAAAACMo/LlhDWqImuug/s1600/Jennis+House+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--O_obCB4Ul4/UQpkQT3ZDMI/AAAAAAAACMo/LlhDWqImuug/s320/Jennis+House+005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does not have the budget to replace the cabinets, so while we were at Home Depot we picked up some peel and stick tile at 30 cents a square foot.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HAoSNi2x7oU/UQpkmH0PErI/AAAAAAAACMw/0UDU-E3fM8U/s1600/Jennis+House+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HAoSNi2x7oU/UQpkmH0PErI/AAAAAAAACMw/0UDU-E3fM8U/s320/Jennis+House+008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not really in love with the fake wood look, but it was the smoothest and cheapest choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought there was only 12 in a box, so I made her buy two boxes. Wen we got it home, I realized</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there were 45 pieces per box. Bonus,some of this is going in the return to Home Depot pile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zNr9qUswo88/UQplsolMitI/AAAAAAAACNA/pzVvqtBvyVQ/s1600/Jennis+House+006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zNr9qUswo88/UQplsolMitI/AAAAAAAACNA/pzVvqtBvyVQ/s320/Jennis+House+006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cleaned the cabinet bases as well as I could, first with a vacuum, then with a wet rag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started laying the tile in the left front cornet of the cabinet and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just matched the edges up until I got to the pipes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HoQJAPvZTOo/UQpldMFZovI/AAAAAAAACM4/s8B8jxj4nFs/s1600/Jennis+House+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HoQJAPvZTOo/UQpldMFZovI/AAAAAAAACM4/s8B8jxj4nFs/s320/Jennis+House+003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I took the paper I had peeled off of the first tiles and used it as a template to cut around the pipes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a handy dandy utility knife and just cut the paper to fit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8X3_AqUngDg/UQpmvFU7rRI/AAAAAAAACNI/c7i3NTmv7d8/s1600/Jennis+House+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8X3_AqUngDg/UQpmvFU7rRI/AAAAAAAACNI/c7i3NTmv7d8/s320/Jennis+House+009.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It cuts very easily with my super sharp utility knife.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be sure you don't use an old blade, it is no fun to tear tile.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pieces just break out after you score it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Slide the cut out and it should fit right in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut of a little piece of the excess and filled in the side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SIqsY3nVdGU/UQpq7uNqr9I/AAAAAAAACNw/PZ8NiovVAGE/s1600/Jennis+House+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ea="true" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SIqsY3nVdGU/UQpq7uNqr9I/AAAAAAAACNw/PZ8NiovVAGE/s320/Jennis+House+013.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to cut a narrow strip for the side since the cabinet was wider than two feet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now it is clean and smooth with no more sawdust. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, you can wipe up any spills without a mess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wah Lah! Clean and fresh cabinet bases on a budget!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for visiting, hope this is a help to some of you on a budget as well.</div>

<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been an exciting week around here. Jenni (our daughter) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
closed on her house on Thursday and yesterday we finally got</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to start working on it. It's really in pretty good shape, but some issues</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will keep her from moving in yet. All of the sinks and toilets are leaking :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fortunately, her dad is very handy and can fix a lot of things around the house,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the kitchen faucet proved to be a bit of a doosy. He could not get it loose, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so he had to take the whole sink out. It's funny how things start to spiral out of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
control once one thing needs to be replaced. Now we need to replace the sink </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the faucet, so is this the time to replace the counter tops as well?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, My how quickly things get complicated. So does she choose granite,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
butcher block, concrete??? So many decisions it gets overwhelming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While she and her dad fus over the details, I am starting to paint ceilings today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fill you in on more of those details in the next few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back to the party, let's see what you all shared last week!</div>

About two years ago, I stopped at a garage sale late one day and bought this coffee table and two end tables. Since it was late, he gave me all three for $5. I couldn't pass that up then, and probably not now, even though I am on a buying hiatus (so to speak). The other two tables have long ago been refinished and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sold, but this one just sat in the basement waiting for some love.</div>

Well it's been a week since I have done anything. I have had the flu, yuk! I am actually feeling somewaht better, but really have no energy. I am forcing myself to get up and get something done. If I am gonna feel lousy, I might as well feel lousy while I am doing something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some great projects I finished before I got sick, but I just haven't had the drive to write anything up. </div>
