The In-Laws, Jim & Ginger, have flown back home, and we’re left with some post-Thanksgiving thanks to provide them, on all the projects that got done over the last nearly-two-weeks:
- Basement – replace old fluorescent light fixtures with new lights.
- Basement – add light switch to the furnace room light; replace fixture.
- Master bathroom – fixed the pocket door, and painted its inside.
- Master bathroom – drawer knobs.
- Katherine’s room – draperies for the “girl cave”.
- Katherine’s room – shelves for tchotchkes
- Katherine’s room – sorting of many articles of clothing for giving away, storing away, future wear.
- Loft – blinds.
- Craft room – Remove clothes pole, generally neaten (for further putting away).
- Garage & Kitchen – cleaning out of the freezers, sorting of frozen goods, massive disposal of stuff that could be disposed of, decommissioning of one garage fridge.
- Family room – replace burnt-out bulbs; fix the dangling fixture.
- Give-away items – sort, count, package for Goodwill.
- Thanksgiving – cleaning, cooking, service.
- Putting up Christmas decor, including finding and buying a new tree.
And probably a bunch of other things I’ve forgotten. Beyond, of course, that it’s just fun having them in town. Even if Ginger did get everyone but Katherine sick. 🙂
What’s most daunting is that we’ll be seeing them (and my parents) in a frighteningly short period of time, as the holiday season bears down on us like a freight train.
