Just reminding myself that I am going out of town in a week. I need to remember that today. Can't wait. We finally got approved to tour the White House and they cleared us through security (making sure we weren't terrorists). We are very, very excited.
Andy is off on Male Chorale tour. He is having fun. I think he liked seeing his old buds, David Trowbridge and Bill Clayton on Saturday. We miss our old friends. He won't be back for a few more days though.
While he is gone I am redoing my garage. I have a good friend helping me. Can't wait for it to be finished. When we bought the house there was a LONG list from the home inspector of repairs to be completed. I am proud to say that nearly all of the items are finished! This is one of the last remaining ones......the previous owner stepped through the attic into the garage and did the worst ceiling patch job ever. Our friend, Chuck Buckland, fixed the patch last winter, but we haven't been able to do the paintwork since. So, we are painting the ceiling and walls and I am doing some major discarding of junk. I am tired of looking at it. Also, I am getting rid of temporary storage solutions that look tacky. The bookshelf is leaving, along with plastic drawer, etc. If I haven't touched it since we moved in two years ago, evidently it is NOT indispensable.
I do love my house though. Anytime Andy talks about moving, I just dread the thought. I just don't think that I can get a house with as much character in a lot of other places. We just wouldn't be able to afford it. Ours still needs work, but boy the list is getting much shorter. Need new flooring in the living room/hallway and I need to redo the office (preferably with some built-in bookcases - ours are overflowing!). There are, of course, many other dreams - but they are just that - dreams.
