Home Construction

That title is kind of wierd. No, we're not getting a new house built. Dad is just fixing our current one. He has been working on replacing the sliding glass door with a window and a door. This Saturday a friend came over, and they took out the door and did everything else to put the new door in. I wasn't there, so I don't really know what happened. :) They had put the door in, and had a hole for the window that was covered by siding. On Sunday, Dad cut away the siding and put the window in. And today, Monday, he has been putting insulation on the inside. It is really nice to have a new door and everything.
Ginger, our dog, has seemed to be kind of sad after Dad was working on it. She has been used to seeing us inside the house through the sliding glass door, and she can't do that now with a normal door. Dad thought that Ginger thought that we were punishing for her for something.
This weekend Mom, Clara, and I went to a Mothers and Daughters retreat thing. It was really good. Besides the sessions, there were elective things, classes. I took Natural Beauty Tips and Hand-Made Cards. Clara took Corsage Design and Hand-Made Cards. Mom took Mini-Scrapbooking and Hand-Made Cards. Some of the people we knew were there, and some friends. It was over Friday and Saturday.
On Saturday evening, we had dinner with some friends. It was really nice. We played a game called Farkel, that is kind of like Yahtzee. It's a fun game.
Amy and Melissa are going to the Christian Homeschool Prom on April 26. They're both making their own dresses! I think that both the dresses are almost done, too. Melissa's is navy blue. It's just-past-your-knee length, and has a bubble skirt. Amy's is just-past-your-knee length too. It's blue and purple with sparkles.
It's 9:30, and Dad wants me to go to bed. So signing off! Maybe I'll post pictures later.
