My sister in California is renovating her house too, they will almost double their living space it looks like, as they live in a small house at the moment. She is going through similar pains, if not worse as they are doing as much of the work as they can themselves. They also had the big lumber truck do a delivery and it seems like deciding on all the fixtures is a nightmare, between arguing with her husband, and getting advice from all the neighbours who have done their renovations.
L ended up doing an eyebrow 'threading' yesterday at the spa. She reports it being extremely painful, but it looks really nice and sophisticated.
I walked over to church yesterday, I enjoyed listening to the choir, they sang some great songs. The church is trying to start up a fund raising committee as they are in debt.
Kyle passed his Grade 5 RCM piano exam! He didn't get honours or anything, but a pass is a pass. He seriously wants to quit now, and I may agree with him, he's done his time. He's become quite good at tennis over the summer, and that was just for fun. Maybe he's not the type of person who thrives under pressure (just like his mom).
Well, we're off to Canada's Wonderland to bond with family. It's a great day for it.

Sounds like you and your sister will have fun comparing stories ;-)
By the way, Roxi decided not to do piano when we moved to England. She was tired of it and needed a break after six and a half years of lessons. She took up voice, though, and since the summer has been focusing on piano again. You've given Kyle a fine base for music--something he may pick up again some time in the future (think rock band!). I still love to play. I'm not that good, but it's fun to be able to sit down and bang out a song or two ;-)
What exactly is eyebrow "threading"? It sounds awful!
L said it's like flossing. The lady weaves 2 threads between the hairs quite rapidly, then they pull. Ohh! Apparently it lasts longer than waxing.
