hot, hot, hot!

We have had an unfortunate and fortunate week with our air conditioner. Unfortunate in that our unit (which is 32 years old) died. Fortunate in that we were able to get a small window unit for our bedroom (which should be installed before bed tonight!) and that we are able to replace our unit. We are grateful for the Lord's hand in our lives that helps us to have the things we need.

We needed a board to put in our window over our new air conditioner. Instead of cutting 1/2" plywood with a utility knife (because it was quiet hours time at our condos), I ran an extension chord out to my car, shut the doors and used a jigsaw. It's the Honda Civic Mobile Workshop (except the extension chord part) now showing on your local PBS station right after The New Yankee Woodshop and This Old house.

Wedding cards

This morning, as I organized Camden's room, I decided to go through a grocery bag full of cards from our wedding. I have been saving them because I tend to be a sentimental pack rat. But, it's been more than 3 years, so I really need to organize them into a scrap book or toss them. As I proceded to throw away some and keep some, I found 3 giftcards. I checked online, and they were all unused! I'm so glad I didn't throw the bag away!

Here are the pictures I have so far:

Here is another super long post, but we've sure had an exciting week!
