Good Morning,
The shoe storage sounds interesting, I like the way those totes open, but don't they intrude a bit on your walking area/floor space of closet floor? Puppies sound adorable! I hire out for window washing, not as often as I should, but I do some I can reach...not as often as I should...haha.
DS has struggled with writing from elementary and that combined with inconsistent to non existent approaches, limited essay opportunities etc..we decided to get the tutor now to help through end of this school year, SAT prep for English portion which could be improved on, and then help through Running Start college English 101 he will do in the fall. He needs to have a better foundation going into college. He thought the tutor was nice, it's a start. If he can get his GPA up this final quarter and keep it there, and possibly do a bit better on his English part of SAT retake, it's possible he could qualify for extra money that would cover the extra portion of out of state tuition for the college, all four years, so it would add up! However we all realize it may be too little to late for this, we shall have to see.
Crafting: I personally am loving how the picture is turning out and hope to finish it this morning after everyone leaves for the day. I would like to do more of these and without a vase involved on this type of frame. I may even print a coupon and head to Hobby Lobby to pick up another piece to work on. Plus there was another piece I left behind last time that I know realize I could try something else, on so I'd like to look at it again.
The AM schedule seems to be working well with our long term houseguest, my cousin's son, because he leaves so early in the mornings.
BTW..I'm so glad you got have fun with your nephew and catch up, that sounded fun! That would be nice if he were to move back to the area.
I have a weird list to work through this morning:
-finish picture
-change out DD's bedding
-go through grocery store game tickets and get it caught up. A lot of little pieces of paper, hundreds, but who knows...maybe there's a winner in there...I have a spreadsheet...lol.
-run the DW
-get oil change on car in case DH wants to take on trip today
-field trip to hobby lobby? Maybe...maybe also Miller Paint store, I need swatches of color to look at.
Longer term projects
-work on den paper
-work on kitchen desk area paper
-address the pile of remaining guestroom items from removal for guest that are in the master bedroom
Z.

Avatar Pic: Slight explanation...I'm not sure why...but this picture makes the colors look slightly brighter than they actually are, example...the vase I used a gray and pale light blue...not turquois. The border is a basic/traditional triangular pattern with a rust, orangish red color called Georgia Clay.

Z, Your picture is lovely! I don't have that grocery store game here but it sounds interesting. Do they have to be added up in some manner thereby necessitating a spreadsheet?
Super busy day for me running errands, stocking up, grocery shopping. Also took Clair several places to try to get her to react correctly to other dogs. This wasn't on our training list but will be on the test. She is just still such a puppy. I am going to stay relaxed and not get to invested in her passing. We will overcome eventually!
Really nice day here, sun shining and relatively warm. I am doing my happy dance about that! Mid seventies tomorrow and for a number of days after that. Hooray!
I am hoping to work on cleaning up the deck tomorrow when I get back from town. It would be nice to have it back to normal after this winter.
Hope you are having a great night!
