Making changes

Now that Mark has moved downstairs, we are making plans for his old bedroom. Tim wants this to be his office, since the office we built six years ago has been commandeered by the kids and me. Tim has carved out a small space for himself in a closet-like room in the basement. Now he wants more space.

We finally cleaned under the old bunk bed--finding loose change, an old nametag from an AFS student (four years old), notes, pictures, notebooks, and of course old socks (I threw these away--very proud of myself for not saving them and washing them. I think Mark has probably outgrown them anyway).

Now we're selecting paint color. I think we'll go with a greenish gray color--a calm environment for work and study. It's a little sad to see the Twins theme going--the bright red white and blue, with the baseball that Tim made in the middle of the wall, a round white circle, complete with red hand-painted stitching. We still have a homer hankie and Twins border.

But Mark's punk and rock posters are more at home downstairs in the red and black room. Time to move on. Maybe Tim will post some pictures at his site when we are finished.

Till next time,
