We’ve been so busy all summer that this autumn comes with burnout. So we took a much-needed break and made a day of it. We didn’t get to go camping this year, but at least we got to explore a natural environment for a day. No cars, no trucks, no motorcycles, no screaming neighbors! Just some screaming eagles! Read about it here.
So, my energy is slowing building up again. I am not quite ready to jump into more projects yet. I must have strained my shoulder tendon or something (my knee is better) and it is hard to lift a drill or swing a hammer. My husband asked me to make him a “honey do” list for next week and we will tackle some loose ends together. I am much relieved by this! My electrical projects will have to wait until school is out in the spring. I want to wire things up correctly, and it will need my full attention. Plus, I am going to have to be taking some walls and ceilings down– too large a project while I am juggling schooling at the same time. I am relieved by this, too. We’ll just have to endure the disorganization a little while longer. It will also give me more time to plan. Here’s hoping I can build a new kitchen next year!
I also entered a contest at 5MinutesforMom. The ladies there and the Dyson company are giving away a beautiful vacuum. Dyson is also contributing aid for breast cancer research. Check it out. If you win, tell me how the vacuum performs!

I’m enjoying reading about your renovations…..since we’re also renovating an old house (in UK). It’s hard work, but the results from the various projects propels me on;) despite the cuts, grazes, minor frustrations and sore muscles, lol!
Thanks for trying to help with my header (still haven’t quite figured out how big the picture needs to be for my blog template…but when I get more time, I’ll play around with it and hopefully not mess up my template!).
