renovating!

Geoff is feeling so much better that he has jumped right into this renovating project even though most of it is my idea. He has pulled most of the ceiling tiles and insulation down in Jack's, measured windows to order new ones, arranged for some furnace people to give us a quote on new furnaces, researched dual-flush toilets and got prices. My contribution to this has been to make a list. And to encourage.
(Sensitive kids, avert your eyes for this next paragraph.) The total scope of everything is still in the planning stage, but it looks like we will not do anything structural like moving walls because our thought is to get things looking good, then sell to buy something smaller.

Didn't go to our cheap movie this week because of the choices: Watchmen (again; and Grace says we really wouldn't have liked it) and something called Hotel for Dogs.

First day of spring yesterday; it seemed surprisingly like the last day of winter.

When you buy a smaller house, the kids will still show up at the old one, looking forlorn. You will have to wrap them in pink towels and carry them across the roads to your new one.

Well at least the kids would know where Tim is, and could stay with him.
