However, I find it's darkest just before the dawn. All at once it falls into place. I am thrilled to have a place to go so we can all laugh, cry, commiserate and celebrate! I just hopped over to FB and liked the page!

They came to mind when I was creating my new Facebook cover montage of three hammerheads. I'm laughing as I imagine what "someone" in your household did with that rubber mallet. You stick to that story. It will serve you well during your next DIY comedy hour. I love that there has been chaos beyond my own.Renaissance Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042573630039646414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-9573338366255995222014-02-25T10:49:45.907-06:002014-02-25T10:49:45.907-06:00I'll let you in on a little secret, Susan: I h...I'll let you in on a little secret, Susan: I have unfinished projects even as we speak.

The picture alone shows your mischievous self. Then I start reading and I find you are clearly writing to me. I always question my sanity in the midst of a home renovation.

I did have fun helping him design the new win bar and laying out the patterns for the backspash and tile floor. <br /><br />I seem to start projects and get them almost completed and then cannot finish that last little detail....so I call my brother to the rescue :) This time it Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333660667036173787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-86604915068213868232014-02-25T08:51:40.331-06:002014-02-25T08:51:40.331-06:00They may want something stronger than cookies, Pat...They may want something stronger than cookies, Pat.
