It is hard to pinpoint what has been going on here lately. We have been busy, and not the kind of busy where people just say they are busy but aren't. We have more of the when-are-we-gonna-catch-a-break kind of busy. It has been the kind of busy where you feel like you aren't doing anything well because you are simply juggling too much! I had a huge work project lifted this weekend when my school's Fall Festival took place. This was my first year to be in charge. It was a great event, with only a few minor snags. I already have some plans to make it better next year. Mr. D. is opening up a new hotel in a matter of weeks and he has been super busy with that. Things for me are slowing down, things for Mr. D. will slow down sometime after the holidays. There is light at the end of the tunnel folks!
This weekend I got a renewed sense of inspiration. We received this little gift into our home and I am completely in love with it.
This desk belonged to Mr. D.'s recently departed Grandma Ruthie. Somehow we were lucky enough to end up with it. I had recently been commenting...(OK, complaining) that there is no where in this house for my things. Ask and it shall be given to you??? This beauty arrived on Saturday, but I didn't have time to sit and enjoy her until today. I felt like I wanted to start writing again, though I have to admit the computer felt strange on this piece of furniture. It felt as though I should have been writing with a calligraphy pen on fancy paper instead of typing.
Wanna know about my favorite part of working at the desk this afternoon????
Shelby!!
She invented this little game with a button. She would let them slide off of the slope saying "wheeeeeee" and then pick it up and start over again. Later she crawled under the desk with Brady and they both sat at my feet playing. It was such a peaceful moment.
I am going to have to do a little work on the desk. I am looking forward to the challenge of restoration. I already have a friend helping me find some of the replacement hardware I need. I want to find a really cool chair to go with it. We are just so thrilled and honored to have this piece of furniture in our home!
OK Shelby fans.... here are a few pics from the Fall Festival Weekend. Papi and Gran came to visit!!!
Shelby's Mama worked out an amazing deal and Shelby got to take her horse home!
It was a wonderful Fall weekend!!!
