If anyone has sent me email, I will hopefully be able to get it soon. I have only been able to work on my laptop and can't access my email from there. We just moved the main computer over here, so maybe tomorrow it will be up and running. We (I) hope to move the beds at least over here so we can work later getting the house ready. Right now I have to worry about getting the kids home in bed at a reasonable hour. If I could just put them to bed here for the night, then we could keep working.


We put down laminate flooring in the downstairs area, and also in both kid's rooms. Now my husband has decided he also wants it in the upstairs office. He also has decided he wants it repainted in there as well. I asked him what color and he said, "something that looks like stonework?" He likes dragons and medieval stuff so it would be great. The problem is, I'm not sure how to do it. Does anyone know how to do tromp l'oi? (I don't think I spelled that right.)

Hope your move and redecorating continue to go well. I don't know anything about painting, but I just saw where you live. Doesn't Teri (simplyrosie) live near San Diego? Pry her away from her sewing machine and get her to help you! Hee hee hee hee hee hee. She's a talented lady, I'll bet she knows how to paint the room that way, or knows somebody who does. Best of luck to you, check in when you can, and have fun with the new house. Marji
