Well I'm supposed to be waking Molly up from her nap, or cutting diaper doublers out, or hanging clothes on the line but here I am blogging. I wonder what excuses the pioneer women used for not doing chores? Or did they always do their work? Oh well.
This isn't done yet. I need to get some tie backs for the curtains, touch up the paint and finish putting knobs on the hanger.
Sneak peek at our new door.
We are super close to finishing Grae & Molly's bedroom. I'm just decorating it now. It looks so different then before. Much better. We are in the process of refinancing our house and have an appraiser coming sometime. So that means rushing around fixing things so that he appraises it high. We need to prove we have 20% equity in our home so we can drop PMI and lower our interest rate from 6% to 5%. This will result in a $350 savings each month. Can you believe it? We can make our payments now but how great will it be to have some extra money every month. It's going right into savings to help build our 6 month emergency fund.
We are in the process of canning anything we can find. So far we have canned blueberry jam and we're getting ready to can peaches (I hope). We didn't plant enough beans to can those but maybe we can find somewhere to pick. Then on to applesauce, pickles and whatever else we find. Our garden is doing great and we're just about ready to pick and eat our grapes. They are so good off the vine.
So that is an update. Not much but I really do need to go wake up Molly so she isn't up until midnight tonight. That wouldn't be fun.
