For the past few months my family has been renovating my Dad's archery shop into our home. Wow. I REALLY wish I would have paid more attention in shop class. ;) I will be so glad when I NEVER have to cut drywall, paint, or decide which light fixture would look best in which room.
Things are going very well and we are super excited for the winter to end. It is not fun attempting to work construction when it is -30 degrees. I have become one with my Carhart bibs and Columbia boots. My two favorite things. :) I would love to be in by Mia's birthday, but things are not looking good.
I have updated most people on my facebook page, but it you would like to see it and you are not on FB, please click Photo's of Progress to see the album. (I hope it works!)
Cleaning out the shop took several weeks of carefully packing up Dad's stuff and deciding what to keep and what not to keep. My favorite find were his journals. Dad used to talk about how we was writing down stories from his childhood and other "thoughts" he had about things. I used to see him with these little notebooks, but never new what happened to them I found them in one of the last file cabinets I cleaned out. It is such a gift to have them. My goal is to type them out and give them to family when I am finished. Dad had some fun stories, great advice, and quirky humor.
