Pandora's Casket

Since Trevor has been off work he has come up with a new hobby. He wants to buy morgan dollars and start a collection. He seems to think that this will be a great way to invest money and save at the same time.

At least if he started to collect coins it wouldn't take up a lot of room and would be easily stored. I think that would be a great thing for him to do and stick with. He would be investing and for holidays and such we would all know what to buy him for gifts! One or two good reasons right there for the family. haha

I told him before he started to do this to make sure he researches it closely to make sure it is a wise way to invest his money in.

One of our neighbors has a gazebo on the side front portion of their house. Each holiday they decorate it with all kinds of things so it usually looks festive. I thought about getting one for the yard but then I thought about the yearly maintenance that they need and I do not think the boys want to paint and fix it each spring!

Instead I have been looking into one of the mobile offices that you can purchase. That is what I really want but they can be pretty expensive and who knows how much it would cost to get electricity put in. I might make some calls next month about this because the more I think about it the more I want to know about how much that would cost. That would be a great spring/summer project!

This week I will be starting to take measurements and make a list of the things that need to be done in the bedroom. I have two major fix it's to do and the rest is just cosmetic. One thing that I need to measure is along the one wall for a work station, no not a desk but something like mobile computer carts to put a couple of devices on to out of the way of the room.

I am planning on getting the office area completely measured, cleaned and things moved around by the end of the week. Then I can have a clearer idea of how I want the bedroom space to look.

I have been looking at decorating ideas and some are out of this world! Jeremy helped me look last week. If it was gold, gaudy and red he was totally there for it. I amlooking at more subtle tones of sandstone wall, chocolate browns and aqua colors.

A lot of work to be done in there but it should look ok in a month or so!
