Remodel

Hmmm....Strawberry Jam!


Yesterday started the trek of remodeling part of the basement to make our wood shop bigger. Papa has taken the week off from his job and we are going at it like banshees. We had a very productive start to the week, we managed to make strawberry jam, do all the grocery shopping for the week, make bread, make two apple tarts, plant all our vegetable seeds and accomplish a boat load in the remodel project. And we were two men down!( well a guy and a girl,Wyatt and I are not at our best to say the least) To keep all the troops going we took a tea break, which consisted of warm fresh buttermilk bread with sparkling strawberry jam and strong English Breakfast tea. And then it was back to work. It felt so good to fall into bed last night but my alarm rang loud in my ear all too soon. :)

I know how that can be! When we were moving we had moving partys ever day almost every one from the church came over and helped staying up till 1 in the morning,all that good stuff. after work we would go over to the Rowlands house for some real fun :)
Hope it goes together well and quickly!

Thanks Priscilla! It is really amazing how remodels always end up taking longer than you thought. It would be a nice surprize to have it go quicker than planned!
