Random thoughts


Better late than never. Here is a photo of Philip's family visiting for one day in December. These were our only house guests for the holiday. Hence, I have managed to clean up and organize spaces in the house that have been a mess since we moved in 18 months ago. Note--it is better to actually unpack after a move. Don't just shove boxes into corners and hope they unpack themselves. I now have a nice work space in the loft, and a sewing/craft room in the upstairs guest room. Dave was so impressed with my organized work spaces he unpacked his boxes and set up his desk on the loft. I need to buy a new lamp or two--and we will have three nice spaces in which to work and play.

In the oh, ouchthatlookslikeitreallyhurts category. We were reminded at lunch today how oddly Joseph's nerves are wired for pain (or I should say NOT wired for pain). He has a bad hangnail that bled last night. It is still pretty raw. We were eating french fries--salty. He took the bandaid off the finger, and kept rubbing the sore spot with his salty fingers. Dave and I were wincing in pain, but Joseph was not even flinching. We put a new bandaid on his freshly washed hands after lunch...

Wow. . . those boys are big! I haven't seen them or pictures of them in many years. What a sweet family. I hope your visit was a good one. And good job on your organizing. I totally have the wait for the box to unpack itself syndrome. . . .
