Home is Where the Harp Is: September 2010
http://harpfamily.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Thursday, September 9, 2010. First Day of School 2010. Yesterday was the first day of school for the boys. I am still in disbelief that Josh is now a high schooler! Kaleb is not far behind in 7th grade. Don't they look thrilled to pose for the annual first day of school photo? They stop laughing on day 2 when they get all the assignments. Do you remember the Pixar film Finding Nemo? Dori kept singing "just keep swimming". Yep. That is me these days.

Home is Where the Harp Is: The Queen's Chair
http://harpfamily.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-queens-chair.html
Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Here she is now in all her Tiffany-inspired turquoise goodness. The color is Annie Sloan Provence. I picked up some black and white fabric from Joann's for the seat. I did some light distressing and finished it with a coat of dark wax to tone down the color a bit. Painting this chair was a bit of a chore with all its details but I love the final result. Fit for a queen and in our house, that's me, lol. View my complete profile.

Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Wednesday, August 7, 2013. He worked hard and learned a lot, got to go to Fenway to see the Red Sox play (and win! Went kayaking and so much more. We are grateful he had the opportunity. And more than a little jealous that he made it to Fenway before the rest of us. The dresser is made of pine and although it looked a little dated, it was in great shape. It had signs of a quality piece… drawer dusters, dovetail joints and wheels hidden underneath for ea...

Home is Where the Harp Is: Cabin Bedroom Make Over
http://harpfamily.blogspot.com/2013/08/cabin-bedroom-make-over.html
Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Thursday, August 8, 2013. Cabin Bedroom Make Over. The local paint store has a back section of the store filled with mis-tints and discontinued paints and stains. I picked up several different colors of stain for $1 a can. I spent one evening staining the boards a variety of colors in preparation to do the wall. Here is Kaleb helping to put the wall up. He did most of the cutting on the chop saw too. Man training as Greg calls it. What do you think? You all c...

Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Friday, January 31, 2014. This arctic winter weather is making us all a bit stir crazy.

http://harpfamily.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Thursday, December 16, 2010. Have you ever put off something for so long it became a bit ridiculous? Not that you intended to put whatever "it" is off for so long, it just happened. Well that was me with going to the dentist. Every month for the last 2 years I have been writing a check for dental insurance for the family. Greg and the boys have been making fabulous use of the service. At least someone was! I had dreams of root canals and gum disease. I ha...

Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Sunday, January 8, 2012. After more than 6 months of silence here on the family blog, this will seem like an odd post but we have to start somewhere. I hope to catch you up but I have learned to not make promises I may not be able to keep. Yes, those are 20 boxes of cereal. On http:/ www.coupons.com/. Total retail of my shopping trip today $142.60 (gulp! Total paid $24.60. I average between 50%-65% off most trips so this was indeed a good day. With a new year...

http://harpfamily.blogspot.com/2013/08/lake-vacation-2013.html
Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Tuesday, August 6, 2013. In July we enjoyed a wonderful week at the lake. Chris, Melissa and the boys are kind enough to let us crash their cottage. It was another restful and fun week. Here are some of the highlights of our week. You should be able to click on the pictures for a bigger view). Kaleb in the kayak chillin' out. Their canoe garden. I love that they used a beat up old canoe to hold their plants. I could get used to working like that! A lake neigh...

Home is Where the Harp Is. Oh what a journey. Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Getting to the ROOT of it! It's always something around here. For the last month or so it has been septics, pipes and water. Tonight they finally exposed the entire length of pipe. Yep, the entire channel of dirt and stone was dug by hand. More of the "man training" as Greg calls it. They pulled out all the sections of pipe and sure enough, just as we expected.they were stuffed like a sausage. A sausage of roots. Ick! I am out numbere...
