My husband works all hours of the day and wants to have the bedroom like a motel room so he can sleep in a very dark room. We just bought new drapes and the color of the room was not quite right for the drapes. The walls are now a dark chocolate color. I love to paint and love to have something done that is a surprise for him.
This is the first year he was able to go fishing with his dad. His mother used to plan the week of fun things to do when my father-in-law was gone. She died 2 years ago and I told my husb that I am so sad I won't get to PLAY with her when he is gone. So I wanted to do something big in memory of her and her anticipation of my father-in-laws famous fishing trips.
As dkbeck said, our German neice is here and she is going to come to my house tomorrow and quilt. I am going to be painting my entryway because it no longer matches the other rooms in the house.
Check out this post about our German neice:

Hope you have as great of a day as I anticipate having- doing my work and then hopefully taking my 3 year old nephew to the farm to see peacocks, horses, mules, exotic birds, hundreds of cats, kitttens with 6 paws, and the nicest friends a person could ever have.
Maybe I have to go gambling one day, that is what my mother -in-law would have done! :lol: :lol: :-D :?:
