holy cow, it’s snowing, and at a respectable clip! I wasn’t expecting the snow to start until this afternoon. If I’m going to make that grocery run I’d better get going.
\nIt’s been a busy week, mostly getting ready for Ruby, but also doing various frivolous projects. The daybed turned out to be quite a tale. I made a spontaneous trip to IKEA with a friend last Thursday, and they told me that they would get the bed in in a couple of days. So dh and I went back and arranged to have it delivered, and it arrived on Monday. It took a few hours to assemble (we had to correct a few mistakes) but we finished the main part Monday and I finished the drawers yesterday. I replaced the dark brown hardware with pretty brushed brass knobs. I am quite pleased. I’m almost finished washing the linens. Then I’ll hang a few pictures and we’ll be all set. I’m expecting Ruby on Friday. I hope she doesn’t run into bad weather. Would appreciate prayers for her safety — she sets out tomorrow. She’ll drive from Kansas City to Indiana and stay with my sister, and then Friday she’ll do the Indiana-Maryland leg of her trip.
\nI am getting frustrated looking for little things for feathering the nest — rugs, lamps, and mirrors are proving the most difficult. All I want is a mirror to hang over Hambet’s dresser so that he can brush his hair (when he’s tall enough.) I just want a simple oval mirror in a dark wood frame. But I’m having a hard time finding one. Lamps and rugs are proving difficult too. I like clear colors and brass, but right now it seems everyone’s showing muddy “global-look” colors and dark metals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
