It has been awhile...
This past weekend was finally cooler, albeit still well in 80s and humid, and we managed 1.77 inches of rain with a few rounds of thunderstorms. Friday night we headed out to another rodeo, this one in the small town of Circleville just to our north. Not too many riders showed up, perhaps because it was the Friday evening rather than Saturday, but the boys still enjoyed seeing the animals. The youngest is convinced that he wants to do Mutten-busting and has been wearing around his cowboy hat since the weekend.
Alyssa and I have also started and been working on our big project... Our new bedframe and headboard which will be solid wood, stained, and finished in the coming week (hopefully). I'll have a full post on this project once it is completed.
Oh... Last night I attempted to install the light in the basement bedroom, and ended up failing. Thankfully this wasn't really a fault of my own. The electrical box for the cieling fan was not mounted low enough to be flush with the drop down ceiling, hence the light fixture can't screw on. And for the icing on the cake, the screw into the center of the box for support broke at the base of the nut when I was going to attempt to lower it. Another day...
Catching Up...
