Well, converting the living room wouldn't do my situation any good. I've given up three bedrooms in my home to my son and his two children. Even though he's in Iraq for another six months (I hope not any longer), I can't use his bedroom because of all his gear he has in there. My quilting and sewing is done in my bedroom. I may have to convert the dining room if this goes on more than six more months. I feel crowded in my room because it isn't that big a room. Oh, well, you do what you can where you can, right?
