While Thinking....

When thinking this week on my way to work (which I don't have long to think since I'm less then two miles from work) I thought "Wow! I'm 50 years old and Aunt Jessie's 100 years old. This makes her twice as old as me." Isn't that cool! I don't know that I want to live another 50 years though.

We had an Ice Storm last night. It started around 4:00pm and the warning said until 7am. Larry went out to get the newpaper this morning and he said it is all slushy out side. It really didn't get cold enough to keep it frozen. Thats good!

I'm staying home from church today. This cold is still hangin on. Yesterday I worked on this piano bench we've had for 15 years and its been setting out in the garge for 10 years. Marylin went with me probably 10 years ago and we picked out some material to cover the bench of it and some foam for a cushion. I finally got around to painting it. I painted the base white and I'm almost done putting the material over the cushion. I just have to do the back side of the lid and I'm done. Then I'm going to put it at the end of our bed. I've got to get it done today, as Jim, my brother, is bringing his dog next weekend while he babysits our dogs and he will keep his dog in the utility room where I've been working on the bench. I'll let you know hoe the bench turns out.

Gotta go for now. Love ya all, Lori

I can't wait to see the changes to the bench. I've got a craft I need to complete too. Now, where is that hot glue gun? In the basement somewhere. :) Maybe I can just find some wood glue.

I plan on bringing Becky's quilt so you can see it. It is turning out nice, but I wish I would have used better material. Oh well, I'm learning.

Good job on making the changes by the way to your blog. Looks good!

Great job on almost finishing the bench! I bet you're excited! I can' even imagine living 50 yrs. much less 100 yrs. Your Aunt Jessie has seen a lot of things change over the years. Good to see you're blogging. It kinda feels like a journal so I have to watch what I say cause I get carried away sometimes without thinking.:)
