For a party, "The party will be at The Cabin Out Back."
To my kids, "Your getting on my nerves. Go on Out Back!"
To my friends, "Let's have cocktails at the Cabin."
With my Australian accent, "Let's have a Bloomin' Onion in the Out Back, Mates!"
Thanks for everyone's great ideas and taking the time to read my blog. Although Facebook and the Internet, in general, is a complete time-sucker for me, it amazes me how helpful it can be.
I like checking Facebook because even though everyone is so busy, I can feel connected to y'all.
As I finish up I want to be sure to give you full disclosure. No, I didn't finish painting the outside of the cabin. I got the front finished and quit. Maybe this fall when the weather is nice and there are no bugs I can finish it up. You can only see the front anyway!
Also, I raided my attic for anything that might work down at the cabin. I'm embarrassed to show you this, but here is what my attic looks like:
It is a disaster and will be my next project. In my defense, when we moved in the house everything wasn't finished. So the movers just put it all up there, and I have been digging out what I need, when I need it.
I did find some of Alex's old artwork, lamps, and knick-knack type things up there.
This is Scary Clown Painting that my mom gave me. Scary Clown will keep the kiddos in line.
We also got the lights hung. I found these at Target for $14.99 a strand. Simple but full of happy!Almost finished . . . I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
