This new toilet bowl spent last weekend in our kitchen – after being delivered on Saturday by FedEx. When our old toilet developed an interior leak, Cerwin bought a new float apparatus, but the leak continued – meaning the tank needed to fill up every few minutes. Cerwin soon determined that the toilet itself was […]

Jere came over the other morning to spray our yard. Now it’s nice and green without weeds. Three days later someone was spraying the field next to our yard.

You may remember that I showed this partially stitched truck to you earlier this year. It is a really neat old Chevy owned by Jeff and Chris. I finished it a few weeks ago and took it to AC Moore for framing. It looks nice in our living room.
