Happy New Years!
Happy New Years to all you dear people! Looks like my New Year's Resolution had better be updating my blog! It has been way neglected since Face Book came along.
We have been enjoying our Christmas vacation at home this year. Even the kids have commented on how fun it has been to just stay home. We didn't have to fight bad roads going anywhere. Days of sleeping in and staying up late. Many hours spent on the computer--but that will change once we are back in school.
Wayne has finally got to build his router table. He has waited forever to find time to build it. This past year has been busy enough for him at work that he wasn't able to use his vacation time until the past two weeks. He will have 2 1/2 weeks off total. Last night he finished hooking the dust collection up to it. I'll have to post pictures of his projects soon.
I have spent the past few days changing the looks in our upstairs bathroom. It isn't that many years old, but already the walls needed some updating--and I needed something to paint. We changed a wall in our living room too. I had painted in with sandstone paint. One thing I learned with sandstone--it works best with darker colors!! I had used it in Deidre and Carlin's rooms and it gave me no trouble. When I painted the living room wall with it--well, it looked awful. I used a salmon colored paint and all the sandstone is dark. It ended up looking like a really dirty wall. Wayne sanded it off and put some drywall compound on it. It is painted Cabin Red now and looks pretty sharp. (if I do say so myself!)
Monday will be back to work and school for all of us. Carlin will be starting his build season for Robotics so he will be pretty scarce around here for a couple months. He really enjoys it though. Last year he got to drive the robot during competition. It will be fun to see if he gets to this year.
