Our downstairs renovations

My wife and I have been starting to price and plan the renovations we want to do in our basement.  We suspect that within the next year or two someone in our family will be living there.  It could be an in-law that is having a streak of bad luck, or it could be our son who will be coming home from college!  Anyway, we have been talking about putting in one of those great walkin tubs in the new bathroom down there.  We think that this is a great time to be putting one in, and it makes the tub handicapped accessible as well.  I like the idea of getting one with jets in it – I might spend some time soaking in it myself!

So many businesses were closed today

Today it was snowing when I got up.  I turned on the television and was watching a lot of school closings being announced.  I was surprised how many were being broadcast, because the weather really seemed mild to me.  Well, snow flurries or not, I had errands I needed to run, so I hopped into my truck and headed out.  I was very surprised when I got to my destination that so many stores were closed!  The weather really wasn’t that bad, and the roads were good too!  I think there’s a lot of scaredy-cats out there!
