Dandy.
Monday, June 18, 2012 at 08:21PM So...a bit of catching up...
1. In addition to a lovely day on Father's Day (more on that to come), the boys and I saved up to get Nathan a new grill. We ended up telling him a week early, so we could include the old grill in the garage sale. :) So, we'd already set up and been using the new grill by Father's Day. (We grilled ribs and corn on the cob and asparagus for its inaugural meal. YUM!) Yeah, it's dandy.
2. Know what else is dandy? Having an 11 year old carnivore who also knows how to use the new grill so that he can make me a burger for lunch. ;)
3. And...having the basement back:
;)
If you'll recall, it looked like this not so long ago:
;)
4. Also dandy is the fact that we managed to fit everything left over from the storage room (and elsewhere throughout the house) into this closet:
;)
...which once looked like this (scroll down...the stuff came from that third room and the closet is pictured below that). Trust me when I tell you that it was sincerely questionable whether it would fit. Nathan and I took turns trying to reassure each other that it would and alternately bemoaning that it was impossible. :)
(We've decided, too, btw, that we're apparently very good at making things fit...because even after getting rid of all that stuff in the garage sale, we feel like you can't see a difference at all in walking through the house, lol. We must have just had it packed in, kwim? And, even while complaining aplenty about trying to consolidate and store everything, we know we're so very blessed to have the space and the stuff. Still watching our local fire and praying for all those directly affected.)
5. And that all means that next weekend we'll begin painting what will become Noah's bedroom. ;) And the boys all think that that is very dandy. :)
