 Around six years ago or so, I inherited my grandmother's Union Loom Works #36 Rug loom which was built around 1900. Grandma had purchased it a long time ago (the newspaper wrapped in the canvas was dated 1954) and I used to ooo and ahhh over it when I'd come to visit. I wanted to weave so badly I could hardly stand it

 It's been nearly six years since we moved into our house. Our temporary front steps became our permanent steps simply because we couldn't afford to build a front porch. Then necessity stepped in. Due to lazy worksmanship, the original builders didn't put j-channels around our front door and our contractor didn't correct the mistake.

 Ray has been busy the last couple weekends siding the shed. He's not done, and these pictures don't illustrate all the improvements, but it does reveal some of the more obvious ones. He sided the back of one part of the shed a week ago, and has worked on pulling off the old cedar planks that we used to build the lean-to section of the shed.

 A week ago Friday, a landscaping company at the end of our road, held a going-out-of-business yard sale and I got a tremendous deal. We bought around three flats worth of miscellaneous pavers for 50 cents a square foot. When compared with the store cost of about $3.50 per square foot, you can see why I went crazy and bought that much.

 I racked the wine on Saturday morning around 6:45. No reason for doing it that early except I was awake and the house was quiet so it seemed like the thing to do--plus it gave me a chance to clean up my mess before anyone tracked the inevitable cherry juice spills around the house. Sticky. Ugh.
