The original plans were also 6 inches shorter, I would've never guess it was going to be so short and when I realized it I practically burst into tears so we had to make it taller.

With kids & families coming in the next few months, Dan is busy installing shelves by the garage entry and building the screen porch on the back of the house. I'm simply thrilled. His 'do it yourself' approach and save $$ didn't quite work out that way in the entryway, because I had to go buy 6 large woven baskets to organize the shelves....CHA-CHING! (Even at 40% off!)<br />The screen porch is going to look great! Of course then I want the stonework around the screened patio to match the sidewalk out front, so we have a 'sunny' sitting area, too...CHA-CHING!<br />Then we'll need at least a table-top heater so we can use the screen porch even in the winter...and the propane tanks to keep it going...CHA-CHING!<br />Not to mention the new kitchen towels I need to get...the clear plates I bought to hand-paint and the colored chargers, so my holiday table will be extra special. Can't forget the fresh flowers...CHA-CHING!<br />I'm going to hate when the next credit card bill arrives! ;-( But I will hostess with confidence!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746144740623931079.post-85714172264492621892010-11-01T11:11:03.028-05:002010-11-01T11:11:03.028-05:00Lucky you!

Girlfriends are great sounding boards: so many times I have confided in a girlfriend and she has confirmed that she has felt the same thing and whew! I feel normal again. I have gotten recipes, clothes, books, hugs, a shoulder to cry on, and laughs so hard I peed my pants, love, support plus much more from my girlfriends. As a recent widow, I am so grateful I maintained my girlfriends because they have been my lifesavers! Life would have been very lonely without those precious girlfriends. So my unsolicited advice would be to treasure and nurture those girlfriends. They are gifts!

"I'll have to think about it..." was my verbal response, but inside my head a big "NO" was a bouncing echo. <br /><br />Next thought? Soon it will be cool enough for Dan & me to test out that pop-up camper...Yeah, that sounds really fun. <br /><br />The M-I-L ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
