Happy Halloween

Irony

Zach could not find his razor blades that he himself had "organized" on his bench. Much to his chagrin and my great amusement, I knew where they were and showed him and after showing him the location of something that he had put away I just had to say "You organized it!" This is something he has always said to me when I've lost something after organizing a room and he has always laughed when saying it. Today it was my turn! I smiled. :D

Opinon

I do not pick. I just point out things.

Pace House

I was sent a couple photos of our house while and before it was renovated for the bicentennial back in 1976. Seeing these photos has reinvigorated my love for this house. These past few months have been almost spirit crushing by having the medical problems and tax issues but now that they are almost gone and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel it is time to get back to work.
This house has stood through over half of this countries history and I just want to do it justice in my short time I will be able to call it home.

This weekends project. Wring the wall sconces in the back hall way.

I was given some photos of the house when the college first renovated it in 1976 today. I thought I would share.


The Queen Ann chairs below are exactly where our reading chairs are now.


This is a dining room now



Back hallway which I had to totally gut and am in the process of renovating from all the water damage.

Bobby McFerrin

You can try to resist the McFerrin, the man is just so cool.

Inspiration comes from the best places

When my mother knew she didn't have long left. She started to write a book for Kirk and I to have so as we would be able to know in her own way that we were part of a great family. I have read my copy of that book so many times that I notices tonight that the pages were starting to wear.
As the book goes on, you can tell from her writing that she was putting her heart and soul into this. Well I know that I won't have the memory that my mother did so I am going to start a new separate blog just for me to be able to do this for my child someday. It will be filled with the stories of my life and things that have shaped me into the man I am. Hopefully I will not need to publish it anytime soon, but I want it here encase
