My next project: My husband and I have been blessed to "retire" in a wonderful home that needs some loving attention! We both enjoy "projects" and we will not run out anytime soon.
We have finished the 3rd floor (4 bdrm, 2 bath). Next up is the main floor master suite, and living areas. Update - Fall 2015 - All 5 bathrooms are done! Hardwood floors being refinished this month. Hopefully, all the finishing touches for the 3rd floor and main floor to be done before Spring, then some major landscaping plans!
About me: Married, 47 years to my HS sweetheart! Six children, 4 wonderful daughter-in-laws, 1 fantastic son-in-law, and 15 beautiful grandchildren...so far!
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! " Eph 3:20-21
