I haven't written in the blog for a long time. It's not that we weren't doing anything. We had a great Christmas. Brice and Breann, Hannah and Andrew came for Christmas. Emily and her family came after Christmas and filled the house with excitment.

I finished two projects recently. We brought back some granite table tops from India. I thought that I would put them in the living room, but Lucinda asked for night stands in the bed room. So, after 32 years, she finally has night stands.
 
We put up a wall in the basement to try and keep the saw dust under control. This week I wired the room. The electricity comes straight from the fuse box, so the lights wouldn't dim each time I turn on the saw anymore. It wasn't too tough to run the wires. There were some objections in the house, however, when I started early Saturday morning. Nothing like waking up to the sound of hammers. . .

This Sunday morning I was giving Craig grief because he was sewing on a button on his church suit. I told him that he would have to pick all the stiches out in the millenium that he put in on Sunday. Then as I was preparing a primary lesson on the brass plates, I remembered that we had a sword on Leban that we made for seminary. Wouldn't that be a fun prop for the lesson! It took some digging, but I finally found it. Low and behold it was missing its handle. Should I or should I not make a new handle for it on Sunday? By this time I just had to have it, so I fixed it. So, I guess I'll be sitting next to Craig in the millenium - he'll be pulling out stiches and I'll be gluing wood chips back on my handle.

Love, Dad
