in and about the news from we and us

my friend sarahs dad has his grandfathers jeep truck which is really cool and in running condition. they came to me to upholster it for them which was really nice that they thought of me for something so sentimental to them. i hope they like it. i think it turned out really clean.

mike has been building all kinds of things as of late, but is doing a mug shelf for an rv right now. really nice people, they are gypsys, go wherever they want whenever they want. must have retired well, have lots of fun toys in tow.

jimee is with us now and will work for us part time and we are encouraging her to get a job for someone else for some real life experience as working for your parents is not always the best as far as feeling responsible goes.

mario and wesley were on a mad light hanging binge yesterday. one of our customers brought us construction lights which are totally cool. we are hanging them outside as out light out there inhibits what we are able to do past dark.

mike upholstered this chair himself (i made the arm covers, big whoop) and did a beautiful job as usual. we like the black and white on this style chair. gave it a nice artsy quality.

we took the boys, jimee, mario and his family and wesley to the parade of lights under the bridge last night. it was fun for all then we went back to our house to make lumpias and mario brought chicken and brats to grill. the boys stayed up late and we had 8 dogs together which all had a ball. we have 4 each now. heather is a vet tech and loves animals as much as i do, probably more actually. she brought home a baby pit bull last night. it is white with black spots so she named her moo. cutest little baby. she spent the evening with me then fell asleep on heathers son christopher. very sweet. christopher and i feel asleep before everyone. i am just not capable of going past 12:30 anymore. i usually only stay up to 11 or so. i liketo go to bed at 9, but who gets to do that with this many kids? it takes me till then to get them in bed.... anyways, all is fine, everyone is good, and all dogs are happy.
