A bit of my house in “This Old House”

I have an entry in the Salvage contest at the This Old House website. So please check out the contest. I hope that you find it in your kind heart to give a positive vote to my entry (Stained-Glass Table). If you also find it in your kind heart to put some negative votes on my competition, all the better…

If I get selected by the masses via the web and the editors of the magazine, then it could appear in an upcoming issue of This Old House. Wish me luck ( get clicking!).

Last bit from Christmas

Arden decided she wanted to make a christmas list. So all she wanted for christmas was a toy T-Bone( from the Clifford the Big Red Dog TV Series) and a computer*. So she ran and got a piece of paper and a pen. Very excited she said “Dad what is the first letter of T-Bone?” “T” I said. “OK,” she said. Slight pause. “How do you make a ‘T'”

We had work to do…

*We asked her what a computer did, she said, “You push buttons and it makes silly sounds.” She is right in so many ways.

The latest

Well sickness has traveling thru our family. Arden was sick last week, she missed school(one of her favorite activities) all week and she was getting better by the weekend, that is when Liam and McKelvey started getting sick. Now Liam is recovering, McKelvey is still down for the count and Ann is sick as well.

I just brewed a big pot of echinacea tea and am looking for the Vitamin C…

more snippets of life

Arden was standing on our coffee table (glass topped) and said I’m being lifted by my prince. When Ann said to get off the table (because of the glass top) she went and stood o the sofa and said: “i’m being lifted by my prince.”
