What's Been Going On?

Well, a lot of time has been spent on the floor. By me. Nobody else. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! It's painfully slow doing what I'm doing. Which is - restaining my grout. (Should have just used Tricia's magic stuff and cleaned it!) But, I wanted a darker color on the grout line so I'm paying the price. I think in the end I'm going to like it.


Here's what it is now.











Here's what some I've stained.







And here's the contrast between what it is, what it's going to be and the kitchen rug.









While I've been doing that, Dave's continuing his knife-making adventure. He's doing a wonderful job. He and Terry have some beautiful knives and are developing a website. It's not up yet, but keep watching lambsonknives.com and soon you'll see all their hard work. Until then, here's a taste of what Dave's been up to.









To keep me sane during the floor process, here's what I've been doing on my breaks....






Cathi and I have been Farmtown addicts - it's a "get away"game on Facebook and we have fun working each other's farm. And, I've got two Scrabble games going - one with Elaine and one with Cathi. When I did the Facebook thing I wasn't sure about it - seemed too much trouble to be bothered with. I have, however, changed my mind - any system that let's you play Scrabble with your sister almost 1,000 miles away is great!! The sad part of it, though, is Cathi and I will sit across the table from each other playing Scrabble on the computer. How lame is that!








Gotta go back to the floor - if you need me, don't call me. I probably won't get up to answer the phone!

Wow - tell David the knives look great! Also, if he needs any good looking exotic woods, I can help him out (Aaron and Michelle will be heading your way in a short while).

Good call on the darker grout; I really like it. And, as I said before, the knives are awesome!

One afternoon with my kids and they could've had your grout dark!! Also I LOVE LOVE LOVE scrabble and Jared HATES it so we should have a scrabble night!

I'm surprised Jared hates scrabble, he's such a smarty that you'd think he'd be really good at it. I also love scrabble.

The floor looks awesome. I'm all for darker grout. It hides a lot.

The knives do look awesome. Dave and Terry are so talented.

oh cool, I just saw the website. Pretty impressive!

Unknown said...

Well, you got me Laura!!! If only I would check your site every day or even every other day ------ I would have known what the guys were up to -------- and not talked to Gene Millard. That is bad. So, I will check the site every single day from now on!!!!!!
