Dreary, Drippy Weather

Ughhh. . .I’m pretty sure the weather system we were expecting on Sunday pretty much caught up with us last night and today. . .a wee bit cool. . .but mostly just gray and dreary. . .a very good day to stay inside and do nothing. . .so after meeting with the Park Manager this morning for a list of assignments. . .that’s exactly what I did. . .
Dave left to teach a class. . .I cocooned. . .
Well. . .I did work on one little project. . .
2006-01-01 Fort Parker State Park 001
the bedroom TV has always been a complete nuisance sitting on top of this bureau. . .it always hung off the edges. . .it needed to be fastened and strapped down on travel days. . .and heaven forbid we should actually need to use that emergency exit window located beside it. . .

so. . .a couple of weeks ago (when Dave was also gone to teach a class) I moved it.
Removing a drawer and doors from this chest made the perfect space for it to go. . .it’s all self contained. . .doesn’t need to have anything done to it on moving day. . .and is completely out of the way!  Yaa. . .my project for tomorrow is to paint the inside of this cabinet black, which will allow all of this to blend in. . .black paint is my friend!
Remodeling in the Bedroom
We added the drawer and cabinet to the top of the bureau. . .can’t have one inch of storage going to waste. . .so once I realign the drawer, add one more little piece of trim and stain the bottom doors to match, that project will be complete. . .
Fort Parker Lake - Mexia TX - a day on the lake
maybe the sun will be back out soon. . .and we can get back to the important stuff. . .like fishing!

Fort Parker State Park is ALL THAT. . .and more!

Ed and Debi Hurlburt - Thousand Trails - Lake Conroe
awwww. . .Debi and Ed had to pack up and go home yesterday. . .too bad! 
We sure did enjoy their visit. . .and all the great eats. . .Debi cooked us breakfast and dinner. . .
now that’s what I’m talkin’ about. . .
Fort Parker State Park
We packed up bright and early this morning. . .(read 8:30. . .hello!)
to try and beat a severe storm system predicted for Central Texas. . .
I guess our plan worked. . .we arrived and got all set up in this
beautiful volunteer spot at Fort Parker State Park – Mexia TX. . .
seriously. . .this is why we do it. . .
we could never afford this view for two months. . .

We will have lots, and lots more to show you. . .
