I have been painting lately. We are painting and repairing our house and I thought that I would share pictures of our progress with you all. We had a room that was this purple and we painted it grey. Hence the name, 'Grey Haven'. You see, it was Sandy's bedroom, but it is now becoming Mom's office/retreat/etc. so we needed a new name for it. But none of the names that I could come up with sounded right. Then Mom said that we would call it 'The Haven'. Then I remembered that we were painting it grey..............and I couldn't resist it!! So it is now, the 'Grey Haven'. Here are before and after pictures.
Before
 |
The walls look a bit smudged because we had to repair holes. |
 |
That big patch of white is were there was a hole in the wall that we had to patch. |
 |
Sorry about this one. The lighting isn't that great. |
After
 |
I am rather short so I couldn't reach up as high with the roller. |
 |
Mom is taller so she could reach higher. |
 |
I forgot that the wall had wet paint on it......... |
By now you all are probably wondering what this has to do with Nutcakes. Well I am talking about human nutcakes. So a few days ago, Mom found this site where you can find out what was the #1 song or movie when you were born. I did not recognize that movie or song when I was born, but when Mom reached one of my younger brothers birthday (it was the movie)..................I shrieked (a loud shriek) and I was jumping up and down clapping my hands.......IT WAS 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King'!!!!!! I was SO excited!!! Mom and Mel (who was sitting across the room) rolled there eyes, but I didn't care! It was SO cool!!! And now some of you are probably shaking your heads too!!
Well thank you all for reading this post and I will see you next time!!
I'm not rolling my eyes. I'm laughing!!!!!!!!!!! your crazy!!!! But I love LOTR too!!!!

Hahahhahahahaaaaa!!!! When I found a version of Sir Christopher Lee (post to follow) reading the riddle of Strider and Boromir's Riddle, I suppressed my squeals in FOTR (which I was reading at the time) and got weird looks from my younger siblings!!!
