Happy Love Day (and a mystery!)

Last night I was up in the room over the garage taking a few before photos - the last ones ever of that

sweet little room that has served us well.  It was the home to the original owners of this house.  They lived above the garage as they were building the rest of the house. It has been the room to two teenage girls - who were no kidding just like the odd couple!  Lindsey drew a line down the middle of the room with tape one day to seperate her clean side form Janell's messy side! Funny!  Then it housed the brothers of the family and welcomed a "borrowed from Jani" drum set and all things boy.  Next it became a studio living space for Janell complete with a fridge and little hot plate. After Janell moved out, I had outgrown my sewing room in the guest bedroom or the backroom as it is lovingly refered to.  I said goodbye to Mark's fly tying desk and hauled all my shelves full of wool and sewing table upstairs. This brings us to the present.  The wool needs more room and our family is excited to enjoy a nice big room to gather and be together in.  I am pretty lucky to be getting an awesome studio with lots of space to work and teach and create.

Below you will see three keys.

The mystery question is .... Why were they hidden in the light fixture?

That's right!  We have mystery on our hands.  I was helping Mark remove the big fan light last night and when we pulled it down, these three keys fell to the floor.  

It just makes us wonder ... why were they hidden there and what do they go to ???

I am off to watch the builder boys and make a Valentines Day Dinner.

Those boys are back to work and within a couple of short hours they have the floor

down and a wall up! It is like magic watching it all come to be.

I do like these tool belts they all wear.  

These guys can build a house quicker than I can make a quilt. 

It's crazy!

Come on up the stairs and into our new room!

Wish we could have glass ceilings but it might get pretty toasty in the summer months.

Emily looks like she is standing in a doll house.

It was pretty sweet the way everything went so smoothly today.

This isn't something any of these guys have really attempted before 

and we all enjoyed the show.  The crane was awesome to watch and I have

posted a few more photos on the sidebar.

 A peek out the new window on the north side.  That's the new Ag Building on campus.

Brian told me tonight that they should have the roof on tomorrow and everything enclosed - including the windows all installed by Wed.  They are trying to beat the storm coming in later Wed afternoon.  

We can hardly believe the roof can come off and be rebuilt in just 3 days!

It was a beautiful day!

Oh...and for dinner tonight we enjoyed Ribs, Sweet Mashed Potatoes, Salad and 

Garlic Cheese Rolls.  Dessert includes fresh berries and ice cream goodness.

Happy Valentines Day!
