Day off in Brenham

Another beautiful Fall day to travel - last week to Wimberley to help Maggie celebrate her birthday, and to Brenham today to help celebrate mine! Mother and I enjoyed a delish lunch with sour cream-topped lemon cheesecake for dessert. So good...We did a little fall cleaning of her pantry, picked veggies in the garden, visited the chickies (full grown now and laying many eggs), and generally had a nice visit. Next time I will have to bring the boys as Gus gets so excited with visitors and loves to run and play.

Sorry, Gus...Rustown Mom don't run!

Hooray for upholsterers!

              

 

the "before" shot

Well, today I loaded up the van with the armchairs and headed over to the upholsterer. Not a cheap undertaking, but I figured it wouldn't be. That's the price of compromise... Tomorrow I will buy the fabric and take it over to them and by Christmas, voila! New chairs! The wallpaper man comes tomorrow to give me a quote. Yes, I know. My week is all kinds of exciting. But it does feel good to get these projects up and running while I can - you never know what's coming around the bend...I will post the before and after photos when I get them back.  Can't wait!
