Adventures in home ownership part two:

The first picture features my front room, complete with gargantuan "cozy sac" and minus the entertainment center. The next picture is my cedar chest with books, pictures and my man lamp ( I love my lamp!). The last picture is the table I am attempting to stain and put together. I have to fix the edges were the stain leaked under the masking tape. This table will have one more coat of stain. I do like how the design turned out though...someday I will bring a drill over here so I can finish putting it together. It will go with the booth/"corner nook" that has yet to be taken out of the box let alone put together.

Sorry...

...for any critical people reading. I am sorry that my blog is full of grammatical errors. i just don't care enough to go through and fix everything. Deal with it. :)

Grandma's funeral

We buried my grandmother today. It was sad but my mood was lightened many times by watching and listening to my four year old niece. I am going to paste some excerpts of the email I sent to my brother.

Last night at the viewing the first thing she said to me was, "Great grandma's dead". She said it all night and Kya was copying her saying, "G-ma dead". That wasn't really the funny part though. When Kari saw the casket she said "Great grandma's very really bit sleeping." and apparently all last night at home she would tell her parents things like "I want to see that girl" "What happened to that girl" " Why has that girl died?" and Kelli over and over told her that first of all she is not a girl but a lady and that she is with Jesus. Today I got to the church about the same time as Kelli and Kade so of course I got Kari out of the car. Just as we got to the side walk she could see a very old woman who was hunched over. The woman was climbing the stairs to go in to the church. Kari yelled, "Hey, look! She's alive!" That was the funniest thing ever!!! She definitely has a fascination with people and things. She kept telling me she wanted to see the girl up close or she would call our grandma "grandma-sid" She would push past the line and sneak up to the casket. Finally, I just lifted her up so she could see. I told her that great grandma was kind of like snow white laying there. She didn't agree. She said, "No, that's not Snow White that is a girl, Grandma-Sid." She had too much energy to be at a funeral. That was for sure. I was entertained by her though.

Well, I wanted to post some other pictures for an "Adventures in home ownership part 2". BUT...it won't let me. Something is NOT working here. I'm tired of messing with it and am currently bitter towards the picture uploading icon.

I went to Pine Valley Monday night to make an attempt at being social. It was fun. I really love Pine Valley!!! It was nice and cool, smelled good and is just plain beautiful! These are some pictures I took.
