Today was another working day. We are trying to clear out the building stuff from the livingroom/kitchen area so that we can begin putting down the flooring in there.
Tim grouted the tile inside the front door. I polyurethaned a pile of boards that we were going to use for the trim in the livingroom. We made a good beginning on it, and we will finish that up tomorrow. We spent the rest of our time cleaning up the freshly grouted tile.
I saw something that I've been toying around with getting for my oldest granddaughter who is turning into quite a reader now. There is a program that creates a story for a child, an adventure, or a fantasy. The story is told over a period of a year in letter form, one letter every two weeks. She dearly loves stories, and I thought it would be fun for her, but $129. for a year seemed kind of pricey. I was thinking about it today, and I've got a crazy idea to create the story myself and send it out. I mean, I know her and the little details of her life well enough that I could create something pretty personalized.
So...that's how I kept myself entertained today while I was working: coming up with a story line.
It was a gray day, and we've got another winter storm moving in tomorrow night.
Not much to report tonight. It is a sad night for me, but some days are just like that.
My daughter gave me a plan like that last Mother's Day, I think. It sends me questions about my childhood and other events in my life and I write a page or story to answer the question. I can also create a story of my own, so I have made a page for my grandchildren and cute things they do also wrote some about my children's childhood. At the end of a year the company will take the stories and bind them in a hard cover book, one for each of my two kids. I think it will be interesting for my grands to learn about their grandparents and other people in our life and other fun facts about our family.
ReplyDeleteI think your story idea is a great one! Children love to get mail, too. I bet you both would really enjoy it.
