Shag's gotta go...

There is a Proverb that says, "A wise woman builds her house, while the foolish one tears it down." Right now, it looks like a foolish woman lives here.

All these years, we have had moss-green shag carpets throughout the house. Yesterday, four men from my church came as volunteers, and pulled up the carpet and pads and hauled them out, and washed and dried the beautiful hardwood floors which were hidden underneath. They will come in a few weeks to remove the bedroom carpets, as well. Until then, it looks like we are either moving in or moving out. Books are piled everywhere, and the furniture is temporarily displaced.

While we are at it, why not paint? Our friend Tom really wanted to paint one wall a different color. OK, green. That's my favorite color. It's even better without the old green shag carpet.
