Hello, sweetness!, Wow! Two days in a row! Teacher, I’m here! This is what happens when I’m taking a va-cay from the shop! Of course, my vacation includes getting the farm table top refinished. (Oh boy!) That was my goal today. I knew I had a beauty on my hands, (thank you, dear Craig!) when…

We’re on the shuttle, headed back to the airport. The Army – Navy Game was a close one, but Navy continued their 12 year winning streak. I am still so proud, when I see those kids in their dress uniforms! But it’s a mixed emotion. I’m happy that they love their country as they do,…
