I thought this post went up 16 months ago, but apparently nobody bothered to write it. First it was the springs. Then came the shock absorbers. And even more hallway trim progress.
Saturday, March 17, 2018. Hey, Connie, How is Petal? Petal is awesome, thanks for asking. In that time, she has settled in beautifully and has blossomed into a wonderful addition to our family. Mom, can Ruby and I have a bite of that? Sniff, sniff, sniff. We keep them in a large basket in the family room. She regularly empties the basket and gathers her favorites. Donut Cow and Green Frog.

Wednesday, March 21, 2018. I was looking to replace the dining room rug which we had bought. On Overstock back in late-2011. While I had liked the rug, it proved to not be very durable.

Friday, November 28, 2014. Last strip, up but not trimmed. The William Morris wallpaper in the dining room is up. Can you believe it? As of last Sunday night, after a good- how many? Weeks of working on it. I did a lot of it myself, but some places I simply needed a helper. And decided to try it. Managed to do the whole cut .
A Suburban Refuge for the Rural at Heart. Thursday, August 29, 2013. Time to Say Good bye. I will not delete this blog as I think it has some interesting stuff that someone, some when may find useful. I am shutting down comments though.
