It's the thing to do when the grandparents arrive: work on some house project. This week it's the chair rail and the stencils in the formal dining room. Cheryl's been looking forward to this 'upgrade' for a long time. Really adds some character to the room. She already spent a week or so getting the room painted, now she's up on a ladder stenciling the ceiling while her dad measures, cuts and installs the chair railing.
It really makes the room like nice. Ready for another formal dinner. Which we haven't had in a long time, probably since Seder. It's been used as a craft room ever since then, which means it's been jammed up with scrapbooking stuff and painting odds and ends. Now it's looking nice.
I like the stencils. Adds some nice flavor to the room.
Even looks nice with those red curtains.
How she managed to do it while standing on a relatively short ladder, is beyond me.Mary's Birthday!
Mary had a nice birthday, although she would rather have opened the presents earlier this morning instead of waiting until after dinner. But we didn't have all of them wrapped this morning, and we wanted her to focus on her schoolwork during the day rather than the gifts. Not sure if it worked. But she enjoyed the cards, the cash, and the gifts.How is it possible for her to be so old now?
