My wife…

My wife doesn’t like pumpkin pie.

One more step towards greatness

November 30th, 2008

Since we were hosting Thanksgiving (actually the Saturday after Thanksgiving) at our place (13 total people), we had another big push to try to finish up the living room. Before our Mexican vacation I spent some time on things, but the insanity began the day after we returned.
