The tide has turned
and what appeared to be
fantasy last week
has now turned into
reality.
We all worked
long and hard and,
although it's not totally done,
the dining room is starting
to take shape
and will be, once again,
a place of good cheer
where family will join hands
around the table and
raise a glass
to celebrate Thanksgiving.
I'm able
to give you a peek
at some of the unfinished business
and will share more
next week.
The kids will be coming up
and I'm hoping
my sister will be able to make it too.
The day
will truly be
a time
to be thankful for.
In the meantime,
I will fill you in
on what Kai
has been up to.
If you noticed earlier
in this post,
I mentioned
we all had been busy
working on the room...
"Every breath you take
and every move you make
Every bond you break,
every step you take..
I'll be watching you...
...every single day
and every word you say
Every game you play,
every right you stay..
I'll be watching you."
I'll Be Watching You
The Police
Kai: aka
The Captain's Apprentice
Better get back to work.

ReplyDeleteJudy, I loved your pictures. The dog and the captain...that is so darn funny, yet adorable. Blessings to all, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteOH what fun your doggie is - supervising so well. And what great news - the family all together. We are taking the family out to dinner tonight for our daughter's 50th birthday - then back here for cake and gifts. Annnnnd - I found the almost perfect china cabinet for the dining room - our SIL will pick it up for us tomorrow then I can clean it and decorate for thanksgiving. It will be perfect when I paint it next summer - but for now - light wood will be fine - I'm so excited!!!!! Enjoy your preparations - I think they are half the fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your husband has such a good 'helper' to keep him company. :) Looking forward to the reveal of your revamped dining room. Blessings.
