Vince and I took a little road trip. Bad timing! We’re just a bit south of Kansas City, just a bit north of Joplin and last night, we had a good bit of ice so walking around this morning was difficult. The doors on the car were all frozen shut. But [...]

Chad is “cleaning” his room and in the process, is trying on everything. He dressed himself up and wanted a new picture for his My Space page. Isn’t he cute . . despite the hair!

Ami asked about adding the 2″ x 2-1/2″ rectangles of lavender (F) to each end of the sashing rows.
