to do list

Six or so years ago, my husband and I moved from our little house in town to a larger 150 odd-year-old house in the country.  The house is the one that I grew up in and I am the 5th generation of my family to live there.

When I initially set up this space for a website, one of the first pages I added was a house to do list.  I use lists as a brain dump, especially when I am stressed and since our ongoing home remodel is such a large part of my life, I figured it would find it’s way on here in some type of capacity no matter what I wrote about.

And since we are hanging out regularly now, I thought I would share it with you.
