These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Am I a genius, or what?

Oh boy, oh boy oh boy!!! I bought the lumber and hardware to build the gates for the deck!

Does anyone want to come show me how to hold a hammer? LOL! No of course, I can do that much. I'll let ya know how this project goes, as long as it isn't TOO embarrassing!

I'm actually pretty psyched about it! After I talked to my adviser, I drew up the plans myself, figured all the footage of lumber well enough to know I needed two 12 foot 2x4s, not three 8 foot ones. I decided about hardware to do what I want it to do, and I'm convinced I'm just dang nearly a genius! I'll let ya know later if that is right!

BTW, if you have an opinion different from the subject line, keep it to yourself, OK? ;D

  2. I think so, too, Ruth, but I'm quite nervous about it. For someone who has constructed things before, it would be an easy-peasy job. For me? BIG!!! SCARY!!!!
