It's a beautiful autumn day, sunny and blustery.
I accomplished a lot today, which makes me happy. I went down to the tile store first thing in the morning and ordered some special tile to trim the edges of the bathroom window (because half the window will be in the shower area), I think he called it 'bullnose' tile. It's the same tile as the ivory wall tile we're using, just 10 inch 'trim' size. I'm amazed how we can just keep learning every day as we embrace new challenges, however small! After that, I went to the library to get some books on Georges-Etienne Cartier (one of Canada's Fathers of Confederation), for K's History homework. Now he can just get right into it on the weekend! Then the rest of our bathroom delivery arrived. I also had to choose grout colour for the various tiles from samples. I think I could get good at this, it's all a matter of confidence and maybe a bit of advice. Then I went for my walk and am now doing a bit of cooking. It's almost time to get the kids and I'd like to get K to the mall this evening to get some warm pants that he'll actually wear. He had a field trip downtown today and insisted on wearing light summer pants. Thirteen is a difficult age, they seem to want to be adults right away. The fact that he's so much taller than me now doesn't help.

Sounds like you are having fun with your renovations. Who knows it could start you on something new. Hope you post some pictures when its all finished. I love renovations. I know what you mean about the teenage years. Thank goodness my daughter got through it in one piece but her parents were in bits, he he. It gets better and boys are easier than girls just a lot quieter and its harder to communicate. Have a great weekend sounds like you are always busy!
Thanks for stopping by, Lilly and for your teenage perspective. You must have a good renovator if you love renovations! The irony of being busy is that I always want to relax.
