The 20 Minute Corral

Dear Whoever is Reading This Hoping to Find Challenging Content on Literature or Politics, but Is Disappointed to Find Yet Another Tour of Uninteresting Personal Locations,

I am sorry, but I promise that within days, yea, within hours perhaps, I will post a fascinating blog of musings on the topic of the gospel as it is found within the adventures of the Baudelaire children, or perhaps a clear statement of what the United States should do to wrench itself from the quagmire that it has created in Iraq. (Yes, this is the answer you have been waiting for!)

But, for today, you get a quick tour of the 20 minute corral. . . a used set of 13 fence sections and a gate. Wow. How great is this? Great, I think.

After 30 Years a New Kitchen Table

Dear Mom,

Well here it is after 30 years eating on that kitchen table that Steve's stepmom gave us, we have purchased our own table set.

In spite of all the positives to the contrary, raising 4 children does have a down side, one being that there never seemed to be extra money for non-essentials like kitchen tables when the ugly one we had was still standing and could be covered with a table cloth.



Do you know anyone who needs an ugly old table and chairs?

Love,

Betsy

P.S. Yes the audio on this video was also dumb. No more non-scripted audio, I promise.

New Kitchen Sink and Back Splash or Why I am NOT a Video Producer

Dear Everyone, and Mom,

One more house tour video after this one and I'll be done with that for now, although I would like to post a couple pictures of my new, 20 minute corral. Yes, I now own a corral for my horses so I can actually bring them to my house for visits. Crazy but true. I call it a 20 minute corral because that is how long it took to put it up--truck to completed corral. How slick is that? We bought it used from a friend who was getting rid of her horses.

But this piece is a kitchen tour. I'm sorry about the dumb audio.



What I meant to say about the sink is that the design flaw was such that if you splashed or the spigot leaked at all, the water tended to collect behind the sink on the counter rather than being caught by the sink and redirected to the bowl. That's all.

Work in Progress--A New Room

Dear Mom,

Here is the vision. Once we get this done we either get a pool table or Stevie moves back in with us. Which do you think is more realistic?



Stevie and Steve worked together laying the tile. It is a good sized room with wonderful closets.

Love,

Betsy

Our New Library

Dear Mom,

This little room is my pride and joy. Steve did a wonderful job. He took it from oversized closet junk room/electrical panel room to library/office. It is, I think, a great little nook.



What shall I read today? If you listen to the video, you'll saw, "She better start with a basic training manual on how to tell your left from your right." AnneGG would tell us that you need to lift your hands, palms away from you and look for an "L."
That one would be left.
Love,

Betsy
