Handyman

Hello, Fiddler Kin. I hope everyone has had a lovely week. Happy birthday, to Andy on the 20th. He is 30 years old now. Perhaps he will post and tell us about his trip to Chicago this past week. We'd love to hear about it, Andy.

And, I believe, this coming week Beth will be getting braces. Woohoo!! Are you excited, Beth? Nervous? I can't wait to see them. Take a picture and post it, and then every few months post a new photo. We'll watch the evolution of your beautiful grin. :-)

Trent's been doing some lovely work around the house, as you can see from this photo. He put Kilz on the walls of the guest bedroom before painting it. Very special.









He's also been sanding and staining old furniture.


So, now we have two new/old dressers, a toy chest, and a headboard (which Trent built himself for less than $17 in our bedroom). Here are a couple photos.





It's been fun coming home from work this week to see what new project Trent's undertaken around the house.

By the way, Honor, I read your "This and That" post via e-mail, but I can't find it on the blog to comment on it. I'm glad you shared your experience making crumpets. They do sound like a lot of work, but I'm impressed that you took on the task anyway and then shared it with all of us. I will keep your friends in my prayers, too.

Yeah Trent! Trent does beautiful work. I love that headboard. He could go into business for himself. Thanks for sharing the pictures, Katie.

I hope Andy had a FANTASTIC birthday. It is hard to believe he is 30. The thought makes me feel old. I remember holding Andy in church when he was an infant. I think I was around 30 years old then. My how time flies!!!!!

Thanks for your prayers for my friends. After I wrote that post I felt I shared too much personal information about them. I removed the post from the blog.

Thanks for your kind words, Honor. I hope you have had a lovely weekend and that you're up for a great week ahead. How is your work with the elementary students going?
