     Happy Birthday to my Granddaughter Linda, Love you girl! Wow!  Can't hardly hear myself think in here! So if I ramble, blame it in my hubby! LOL! :) He is doing a bit of alterations to the doll house. So here it is 5:50 pm, dark out and he decides he'll cut some openings for a few doorways to the additions. The house is on it's side in the middle of the living room floor and he's using a drill and a jigsaw! Good grief! What a racket!
     Son-in-law came over... He  grinned and playfully said. "you just gotta hold down the racket over here!" Oh did I forget to mention they live right next door to us. Our apartments share a common wall between our living rooms. The walls are paper thin.
      I sure wish my husband would have done this earlier! Hubby doesn't have a work shop, so he has to use our living room as a substitute, since we've really been having an unusual cold snap lately. The consequences are, that we are sneezing our heads off from all the sawdust that has been floating about like a million invisible fairies, that mischievously tickle our noses for a week. He's been doing a lot of sanding with the rotary tool too.
      Daughter  Joni, the artist and writer, came over to show me some pointers on putting links in my blog. Well...that went through my head like a whirlwind through Texas! Can't concentrate when its this noisy.
     I want to try to link my other daughter's site called  "Glow from Within": from my blog site also. She is sharing her pet on going project and her deep feelings about it. Last year she started, Hats from the Heart and Journey Journals for Cancer patients. Its such a worthy project. I am sure there is no one out there who does not know someone, either themselves, someone they know or a loved one who has not felt the sting of this deadly disease.
       On a lighter side all of us have boards on  Pinterest.  This link is mine! We have a blast. Warning,,, Its really additive! But come check us out. You'll find Rita's  here and Joni's at this  one.
Oh! No! Now he has the vacuum going. Gee, why dose everything sound so much louder at night!
     Ahhhhh! It is now peaceful and quiet once more. And on that cheerful note. I will not post this until tomorrow when I can add the pictures of the latest additions. From my own "Jr. Frank Loyd Wright". The Skylight on the roof of the Conservatory and the sweetest little fireplace made out of wood. No, It really is wood!

     Well here they are...

The side view of the Conservatory, you can barely see the skylight

 

 

Skylight made with a leftover window. I think it's neat that you can look down and see the door that goes into the living room

 

 

Front view. Double French doors still have to be painted

 

 

The fireplace, not finished yet but he is still working on it

 

 

Top view, Can't hardly wait. I want to start decorating sooo bad!
