got the valance boxes done for my bedroom ...now to install them ...may wait for glenn ....would be less cursing !!!!!

i decided to put these in my bedroom, so i did all the measuring, went to home depot bought a sheet of plywood, had them do all the cuts (for free), came home and screwed them together,covered them with batting  and fabric ( well one is covered in fabric).tomorrow i will finish the fabric on the last 2, glue on buttons and attach to wall over my drapes.

this morning we took the dogs to the car wash which has a doggie wash area. once back home the dogs had pink lemonade ice cream in waffle bowls.glenn used his new toy to trim the 6 foot weeds in the ditch and erika helped him clean it up. glenn cooked t-bones for dinner .....where was i during all this...sitting on my ass supervising of course !!!!!
