If you’d asked me last Christmas if we would still be in this house this fall, I would have said, “I doubt it.”

If you had asked me at Easter if we would still be in the house this fall, I would have said, “Oh.  Absolutely not.”

And then – the economy broke.  Interest rates are double what they were last summer.  Even though there are a lot of houses on the market that could meet our needs better, we are staying put.

The answer to that?  I’ve been doing some updates.

Our friends gave us a gift card last Christmas that we put to good use and we bought this gorgeous light.
