Bathroom Remodel

The bathroom remodel was halfway finished over Thanksgiving.  We replaced some of the plumbing in the walls and the fixtures.  I went with an antique bronze finish but now I'm wondering if I should have went with stainless steel faucets instead. Now to get a new bathroom vanity and lay new flooring and the bathroom will be complete. Can't wait. It seems like every project in this house is only halfway finished. We have to do it in bits and pieces because of my husband's schedule. I think for our next house, it either needs to be move-in ready or the major remodeling needs to happen BEFORE we move in.

What's Up With Me

I just finished editing a video of my daughter and her friends acting out a scene from Of Mice and Men.  I have to say - I don't like this book at all.  How morbid. She used her horse, Tequila, in the video so we shot half of it at the barn.  Tequila didn't want to move in the shot - that was a blooper for the video.  Cold, messy, but fun!

I have a few more people on my Christmas list yet and then I am done.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...  I did a majority of my Christmas shopping online for my kids and my husband.  With all the free shipping deals for things for my kids, it was just easier.

Not much else going on right now.  Just the way I like it.

Horse in the Movies

My daughter used her horse for a school assignment last week.  She and a couple of her classmates have to act out a scene in a book they read so she chose a horse scene and I had to videotape her galloping off, looking like a guy on a horse running away.  Too funny.  Now I need to edit it all and put it together for them.  Tequila will be a local movie star:)

Music in the Family

It amazes people  when they come over to see all the guitars we have in cases and hanging on the walls.  I have two acoustic guitars (Takamine and Yamaha).  My daughter has four acoustic (Yamaha and couple others).  My middle daughter has a Yamaha acoustic and Fender electric.  My youngest has a mini Fender.  I can't even keep track of what my husband has.  I know he has about five electric guitarsand an Ibanez as well as a semi-hollow body and a couple acoustic guitars.

Add in two flutes and my son's full drum set and my singing kids and we're a regular music family.
