A journal sharing our renovation projects, faith, ups, downs and anything else we feel like talking about
I guess it is just the Murphy’s Law of old houses, or any house for that matter, that when you fix one thing, you create three more different problems. Case in point would be our back porch light. I guess you really can’t call it a porch light. It is (or should I say was) [...]
Since Viv and I got bored with pulling up plywood in the attic, we decided to play “What’s Under There?” We could not see what was under the flooring between the roof rafters, so I pulled out my camera, stuck it in the hole and took a picture. We would then pull the camera up, [...]
Since we have five more days left of our vacation, Steven decided to continue working on the attic area. He started pulling up plywood so he could get it ready to blow in some insulation.

We accepted and, this afternoon, set out for our one and a half hour drive to Bossier. Since the weather has been nice, around 75 degrees or so, I decided to dress [...]
After making our annual trip to area stores to take advantage of after Christmas sales, Steven and I decided to finish cleaning the “attic” upstairs to get it ready for insulation. I am not sure if this space was used as an attic, or if it is just unfinished. There are so many bad PO jobs done to the poor [...]

Come on, ring those bells, Every-body say, Jesus, we remember This is your birthday. “ Merry Christmas Everyone! Vivian opening her presents this morning. Steven told her that in celebration of Jesus’ [...]
I decided to sit down and finish sewing the last curtain panel for my dining room. I have been trying to get it done for about six months now. I don’t know why I stopped with only one to go. I must have been really tired! I put the finishing touches on the very last [...]
Of all things to worry about, I will NEVER have to worry about anyone saying that Vivian is not Steven’s daughter. HA! Just look at them! Red hair, big brown eyes, cute smile and nose….yup, I am outnumbered here! MERRY EVE BEFORE CHRISTMAS EVE! TWO MORE DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS! Andrea
