last day of September ;-(

Early morning for Sheldon who was off for the airport in the dark again, this time taking the Buick and leaving me the truck.. lucky me.. until I got in it on way to town and smelled the pig farm aroma from the dang field!! YUCK, I drove with windows open even though misty!

The misty rain started after Britt was off to school and lasted till around lunch. I spent the morning again busy on projects. I had insomnia thinking of all my ideas. With pj's on and coffee in hand I got busy making them reality. The jewel box and frame got a dark wax topping then staged

 and 3 more of the chalkboards got assembled and photographed

 and I began painting the frames for 2 remaining chalkboards now that they were dry and ready to go

BY now it was 1:30 and I have a dental appointment at 2:30 so a quick shower and jump into this horrible smelling truck. Dentist, parcel pick up (Yay more Saje), a pumpkin latte from Starbucks (only 1 treat remains on my gift card:-( ), a restock at Rona, a bank deposit and draft to mail to Prissy for a saddle Shaina decided to buy whilst on her adventure, dog food then finally grabbed Edo and jetted home!

Back at the ranch I wolfed down some of the food and got back to my projects.

this gorgeous solid wood shelf had plugs stuck in the holes but I mastered the drill and drilled them out, back to perfect! now to decide on colors and which wallpaper, leaning towards fun circles

 the frames got a few more colors added as well as black glaze on one, now to dry

 these two sets got a blue overhaul too

Today is nephew Vance's birthday and I finally got a call into him at 8! Happy birthday sweet boy!! 

Shaina text they FINALLY arrived in Maryland after leaving Texas yesterday at 8 am. She had text at 1 am early today saying they drove 15 hours only stopping 3 times but now they were there safe and sound after another full day of driving (midnight there). Six people and a dog in a 5 passenger truck so Shaina rode in the horse trailer catching up on sleep :-)

I spent a few hours updating the blog since I had been so busy for last 4 days. Britt worked after school then hit the gym after not getting home till after 10! Seems she is getting gym obsessed like her sisters! She did cook us a grilled cheese, thanks Beasle!
