Home Sweet Home

HOME SWEET (messy, dirty) HOME

We traveled last week to visit family in Indiana and Wisconsin. (Yes, I’m a blogging dork who scheduled things to post while I was gone.) I hardly touched a computer the whole week, but I did get quite a fill of HGTV at my mother in law’s house. Oh boy! I am just itchin to get painting and spray painting and decorating, but I spent my first day home cleaning and unpacking. And draining water out of our pond. You’ll hear and see pictures about this grand adventure and massive project soon. Fortunately, I am NOT the designer or main undertaker of this plan; I am only around for moral support and dumping buckets of water.
