Vacation doings

Rod is on week 2 of a 2 week vacation. So far, he has put the trim back in the hallway and entry way.  He decided it would be easier to go with painted trim than wood finished trim, so white it is.  I really like it.  We ripped the carpet and padding out of the dining room and he put in a floating floor (that Sammy can't get much traction on.)  White trim again.  Looks great.  He put in a new light fixture as well, so that hanging down thingy that was always such a pain is gone.

Today, he's taking the pool down.  To shreds.  There were some punctures in it that he couldn't find, so we will be buying a new pool next year.

The floor work made doing school a bit of a chore.  (I couldn't reach my teacher keys.)  Friday, the kids and I did Bible, read a chapter on Alexander the Great, and headed off to Cedar Hills Crossing.  At Cedar Hills Crossing, one can find this delightful place to get lost in called Powell's Books.  So many books there to tickle one's fancy; so little power to choose which ONE to buy. 

After we haunted Powells, we had lunch and headed off to Petco.  Petco is fun, but with a dog it's more fun. We decided that Sammy needs a hot pink collar.  Cocoa brown and hot pink....yes, there's the combination.
