Back to School,back to normal

Sheila has had begun the new challenge of being a kindergarten teacher this year. Today makes the end of two weeks with the little ones, and she claims the days go faster, and the kids are pretty adorable at this age. I think (hope) she will find this age level to be her favorite, but then what do I know...

This time of year, I have to get used to our normal schedules. I have a great affinity for our summers together. Sheila and I get to spend much quality time together for the two months she is off. Then she heads off to school, and my sports pick up again. Soon enough we will only be spending two nights a week together, and having our time on the weekend amid lawn mowing and garage projects.

The first garage project to do is to refinish a dining room set we recently purchased. Refinish? you ask... Well here is the cliff notes version. We bought the set, got part of it home and found some damage that wasn't easily noticeable, called to ask about returning it, drove it back to refund it, and along the drive to return t we scratched up the tabletop. Upon noticing this we obviously had to keep it, but did manage a better price. So, now I get to challenge myself with refinishing it. Fortunately I have a friend that has a sprayer to use, which should make it easier. I hope to have it done by my birthday...
