The renovation of Lynn and Lynne undertaken by the children of Lynn and Lynne is happening as I write. The drone of the sander on the “Viewing Room” floor (ok, televison room! But I hate the sound of that) is the best sound ever. Kathryn our third child has had it and is taking things under control. Enough is enough she feels.
Unfortunately, Lynn and I are able to live with half done projects, stellar, aye? I remember well visiting a certain relative whose house was NEVER finished. My parents would comment on the drive home. I can only imagine the talking all the way back to Rhode Island after a visit with their daughter.
Our daughters pulled together a 25th celebration asking for Lowe's gift cards with this day in mind. What a wonderful gift! Kathryn is the project manager with advisers to her left and to her right. Her Christmas break has been breaking her back for her family. It is the gift of a lifetime.
Here are some pictures showing the process. The young man on the piano is Tyler Patchel who helped with removing stubborn kitchen tile. The young woman is Katie Schwartz who gave some significant hours to the project. Christopher, our son is working on cutting down shelves for the new spot in the Viewing Room ( I do like the sound of that)!
I am still trying to figure many things out in life. I wake up every morning accomplishing some of the tasks on my mental list and going to bed with more than half not done. I have six children with one husband. I have a twenty-two year old married daughter. Thankfully she married a great man of God. Two children in college, a thirteen year old, a nine year old and a six year old. I home school. Sometimes I wonder why.
I am random, my mind rarely organizes. I love simple. I bring a book with me everywhere, many never finished. If you stop by only expect a cup of tea and conversation, other than that keep your expectations low.
