Prom



Saturday night we did prom at our house.  It was Caitlin's last prom and Cameron's first.  We will no longer have an entourage of sisters gathering in the bathroom to help the prom-ee don her make-up dress, nail polish, jewelery and do her hair.  Kind of sad!  It's the end of a long era of 7 sister camaraderie.  We all agree Caitlin was the greatest beneficiary as she inherited all the learning curves from those who had gone before.   I can't say that any brothers gathered to help Cameron.  When you are a guy you are just on your own.

Waiting for my date.

Didn't want to pose for this pic!

OK - Tired of Framing


1000 nail clips and 6000 trips to Home Depot later, we're finally done with framing the basement.  It took  longer than I thought it would (a lot longer :) and as the time wore on, the joy waned just a bit.  But, it does feel good to have that job completed.  I'm sure that the dry-wallers will have something to talk about when they do this job.  ("..and just who did this framing?")
