A friend of Uncle Loren (and Kirk and Irene) sent me this little thank-you note. It was written by Grandma Hastings to her son when he was in the fifth grade for a Christmas towel.. Isn't it strange and wonderful to have a touch of Grandma just show up. ( I know it isn't very clear but....)

ITS DONE !!!!!!

The living room is finished and it is so beautiful.... if I do say so myself. Seems really a lot bigger and brighter. And no carpet to vacuum. In case you can't tell, the walls are light brown and the tiles are lighter.
