HOME PROJECTS AND THURSDAY'S GUESTS

After two (VERY busy) weeks of some minor home remodeling projects (ceiling fan installs, painting, and furniture re-arranging) as well as getting a room set up for Grace (crib, rocking chair, changing table and toys), baby-proofing the house and last, but not least, hosting our Father's Day celebration dinner (Chicken Enchiladas Suisas, Refried Beans, Guacamole and M-M-M-Good Margaritas), I have finally found my way back in here to dust and update my Blog.

I'm sorry for neglecting you Blog. And for leaving all my faithful readers stranded on the side of the road to Blogville. Bad me.

In my defense, I did have good intentions to sit down and blog. Yup, it went through my mind every day AND my heart was in the right place. That counts, right?

However, my brain has been somewhere else. Mostly lost in HGTV design shows. I think I called it a vortex at one point.

And my body has been in Home Depot. A lot.

I've also been up to my elbows in drop cloths, blue painter's tape and dreamy shades of wall paint. I dare not admit to how many paint sample cards we accumulated trying to match just the right shade of this to go with that. It was worth it.

So we are finally taking a decorating haitus.

And switching gears.

Beginning on Thursday night, we will be Memawing and Pepawing a lot. Mama, Daddy and Grace will be flying out for a long weekend visit and for us it will be "The Grace Show" daily at our house.

We will be spoiling our adorable grand-daughter for four fabulous days. We will be soaking up every single moment of their time with us. Of course there will be a lot of visiting (gabbing), family socializing, Playstation-ing for the guys and we will have a visit to the San Diego County Fair thrown in, too.



Is it Thursday YET?
