944 - one month till Christmas!!

Day 944 I had the coffee all ready to roll and served the Prince his chalice whilst he rested on his last day home. Britt scurried off to school hoping to start a new not late tradition!! hahaha

I headed to the garage to put 2nd coat of varathane on the dressers. This is the last step before reassembling, wahoo! Sheldon went out to move more dirt and bales and basically play outside as it was a balmy -4 getting up to plus 1 by afternoon. He claims to have sealed the shop so no more magpies in there :-)

Shaina was up at 10:30 and made scrambled eggs for me while she cleaned out the dishwasher.. I know heh!! thanks dude! She then spent time getting ready to head to work for 3.. yes Lynda offered her a few days a week at Target. She is happy to be working again, thanks Lynda!

I put the mirror all back together, staged and posted and it was sold in less than an hour. Time to clear and black wax the growth rulers and hand rub. I also picked my next project, a night table. It required sanding and wood filler, and runner straightening and tightening and hardware removal. I also started drawer repair on another dresser.



 After rolling out a bale for the horses and raking the gravel he moved in the shop, he kindly scooped a half 5 gallon pail of dog crap.  Britt hit the couch soon after arriving home while I put the dressers back together.




Sheldon grabbed the tree as requested and it still amazes me that from 3 minutes of opening the box, this is what I had! Can I leave it like this??
 After supper I worked some more on the night table, put a clear wax on the one ruler and hanger ready to send off to Edmonton tomorrow. And filled a few places on a magazine rack. Sheldon pitted in for another football game but was lucky enough to win his weekly pool with all his bets. Shaina was home around 11:30 after finishing work and visiting at Gail's.
