Where is Everybody?

Ok...so no one is reading the blog, yet! I'm still in that giddy phase of new accomplishment, so it's ok, for now, but I really want your pictures, videos, and news - cough it up already!

Cousin Carolyn arrived on Sunday evening in time for dinner. We retired fairly early (for Caro!) and embarked on a fabric-shopping trip bright and early Monday morning. We had such a good time and I actually purchased sofa fabric (not anything like what I had envisioned), but I fell in love with it (Ben is still being coy about the relationship!). We had to go to Lowe's for rope for the piping and to get staples and we had ginormous potato cakes for lunch at Pete's Deli. Wish you could have been there.

Today, we will start taking the old sofa apart. I can't wait...it has needed repair for so long and we are finally fixing it.

Tonight is the family supper - really don't know who we will see, but hopefully a big turnout so we can plan other activities during Carolyn's visit. I know that a trip to Staunton to see the Woodrow Wilson Museum & Gardens is one thing she would like to do. Also, there is a big quilt show at the civic center this weekend, so I know we will make that part of the agenda as well.

I will post pictures before, during & after the sofa makeover. It should be interesting!

Ya'll come back, ya hear!?

I must say I have been very bad at reading the Waltrip Blog. Actually, it took me a while to figure out my account name and password. It looks great!
