My daughter, Anna, has been home for about two weeks. She is a ball of energy and keeps us laughing too. She asked if I had a book on fixing household items the other day. I brought her an old Reader's Digest Book of Household tasks. She loved it. She even gushed over a diagram of a car engine. She just wants to take things apart (and maybe put them back together. She often has her good friends over Naomi, Krista and Noel. I find them all fun in their own way.
She has decided not only to paint the bathroom but to change the faucet parts and vanity. We're back to a one bathroom family. She must do things her own way, though. The other day she was taking apart the old vanity and wanted to pull it out all in one piece. I suggested that she pull it apart piece by piece. At midnight when I went to bed she was still working at it. The next day when I got home I asked her about it. She said that she finally did it my way.
When she isn't working she nests in front of the TV with the most syrupy romances. Most everybody clears the area.
Also it's nice to have another musician in the house with a crystal clear voice. A slightly related side- last night after dinner Donna was playing guitar and singing Red River Valley. Joey came in on the kazoo and did a dramatic solo. Very funny. (The photo of the bathroom I place above is not our bathroom. pity.)
