When you're 6, you can usually count on saying goodbye to your 2 front teeth. Margaret is 6. We visited Mark and his family in Birmingham for a couple days this week. Margaret and I played Monopoly, and half way through the game she was confident enough to flash her Victory sign while Nancy snapped a picture.

Yesterday the wood blinds were installed over the windows in our newly refurbished computer room. Nancy is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new cushion covers for the couch and chair. After that, all that remains is moving the "stuff" back into the room; trying hard, however, to downsize and declutter.
