Things-They are a changing

     A little over a year ago my dear father in-law passed away. And after much prayer and deliberation my    mother in-law, also dear, decided she would like to spend most of her time living with us here on the lake.
The only problem is that our home is not quite large enough for all of us! But we have a solution...........


    Now I know this doesn't look like much now, but we've drawn up some pretty cute (my words, not my  husbands) floor plans. My mother in-law would like it  to be  an open style- like a little resort camp.
 We've decided the only walls  in my mother in-laws "camp" are going to be for the WR. Open living at it's
  best! There is one slight problem though.

    Our garage is where we store everything. Well that's not entirely true. The sides of our woodshed are
    packed to the hilt too. But you get the point. Something has to give before this garage (graj, if you're
    Canadian like my husband) is converted into a sweet home for his mother to live in. So I spent a good
    deal of time yesterday morning going through all of those boxes trying to decide what I could possibly
    live without.
    After my husband saw that this whole process was going way too slow for his liking, he combined the
    wood from two of the sheds into just one and voila'-I didn't have to get rid of anything. Yet, that is!
     So tomorrow we head to the lumber yard and the fun begins. I will keep you up-dated, of course!
     Until tomorrow,
