Testing

$5.00/year for more storage for photos. This was a test to see if it worked yet.  (It did)

This amused me

Taking a slight break from all the packing and cleaning.  We suddenly got internet back last night, and we have no idea why, but I'm taking advantage of it while it lasts!!
This one still makes me laugh: While packing last night, I started going through piles of papers Tom had tossed on the floor to be thrown away.  (I've learned to check through for important stuff)  And sure enough, I found a stack of recent bills amongst the trash.  "Tom!" I turned around, "Did you really intend to throw away all these bills?!"  He replied, completely seriously, "They'll send more." 
Well, he has a point.

Building Stuff

Before and after pictures of an ornamental piece Tom built at home for a dentist he sometimes works for. It goes on the outside of a building. He actually made two of them. The wood was rotting so he measured and made new pieces. I think it's really cool that he can do stuff like that.

He made me a new drawer!

Well, sort of.....he made a new front for one of the kitchen drawers that always sticks. It still doesn't fit in the track right, but now it won't stick. Really we need all new cabinets, but that's not in the budget.

He doesn't often have the time for home repairs at home, but I really love it when he does. Timothy and Justin played in the basement while he worked-they love to be around Daddy when he uses tools, and I got the drawer cleaned out and some dishes and kitchen cleaning done.

We moved our mantle last night and Tom installed a new fan. The old one had to be replaced because the wiring was bad and we were worried it would start a fire.
