Today, the pastor, our deacon, and two couples from our small group helped us rearrange almost our entire house. They moved furniture, reorganized rooms, fixed chairs, re-plastered ceiling cracks, took down doors, put up a screen door, reorganized shelves, and then some.
We are exhausted, but it is a good kind of exhaustion. There was absolutely no way we could have done it on our own. So many thanks to Ryan, Ron, Ryan, Becky, John, and Nicolette for their labor of love. We appreciate you so much and may the Lord bless you!
Here are some of the results of the great furniture shuffle. I think they did a great job!
(Warning: If your squeamish about mice, don't read on.
When the piano was moved, we discovered a large quantity of split peas behind it. The peas were tucked in a comforter that was stuffed behind the piano to absorb some of the sound because of the plaster walls. There was no sign of a mouse nest, just the peas. Over a year ago we had a problem with mice in our pantry. They had gotten into a bag of split peas and made off with the entire contents . We discovered one or two peas on the kitchen floor and never knew where the rest were. Now we know.)

Clues. Small quilts on the wall. Vintage sewing machine cabinet in the corner? Are you a quilter? Is that a vintage Singer sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteYour friends did a lovely job.
And I loved the mouse story. Too funny!
No vintage Singer. It's an old bedside table that is repurposed to hold the VCR and DVD player. But I am a quilter, or at least I was a quilter. I like making little quilts because they're manageable projects. I hope to get back to it when things settle down.
