The Lower Level

Now we have new walls, new paint, new varnish through out the lower level. The bathroom has a new vinyl floor. Wednesday we are supposed to get carpeting and Friday they are going to clean. Then furniture can move back in. It seems like a long time since we have had that space. We are expecting guests this weekend. I hope we have a bed for them.

The Sandvik Light Battenberg Wait REUNION

Sharon Sandvik and I decided to start a reunion scheduled for July 31-Aug 2. We were hoping for all our kids to attend but you know how busy eveyrone is. In attendance were Sharon, Jim, Martha, Esther, Matt S, Sailor (Sharon's adorable granddaughter), Gigi, Matt, Gavin, Garek Dobosenski, Jon Wait, and I. Anyway Maria Sandvik could not come last weekend becasue of a wedding she is going to this weekend. Simon Sandvik is coming for the Stae Fair. Jim's daughters, Jennifer and Julie, came to visit last April. So although we had a great time, we are considering having our second annual reunion at a different time to try to get all the kids.

August Already!

Well, it has been a month since the flooded lower level. This week they have started taking out the sheet rock (about 6-8 inches up the wall). They are spraying a treatment on the wood to keep from getting mold etc. Have no idea when it will be finished. But I have had a good time picking out carpeting, paint, new bathroom vanity, vanity top, tile, etc.
