changing it all up for 2013

getting rid of the 39 year life obsession collection


making every minute count


taking more pictures

yes, dad, I know it is not centered

We purchased our 2nd TV in our 49 years of marriage.  

We have always had "hand-me-downs" (for which we are grateful) but one year when I was teaching, we bought a BIG TV, during the holiday sales.

It was sleeting outside and when we tried to put it in our tiny Saturn sedan,

 NOPE.

We stood in the freezing rain and took it out of the box, wedged the TV in the back seat and I rode with my face plastered to the windshield.

We were very proud of our large TUBE BOXY ridiculous TV.

About a year later, we were watching the TV and ..........*bloop*......the screen darkened like a black hole and no more TV. 

 We went back to using the "hand-me-down" "never gonna die" TV.

SOOOOO

This holiday season, we are trying it again!

We bought our 2nd TV.  Flat screen, 47 inch...because even though our living room is 3ft by 5ft....you can't get a TV that is TOO BIG.

It didn't fit into our castle sized cabinet, so we had to rearrange and let it have a wall to itself.  

HOWEVER, some bald guy cut out a square of the wall for wires (behind the giant cabinet).

What to do, what to do?

I KNOW!

I commissioned Max to paint me 3 paintings to hang above the TV, over the hole, and not be too bright or busy.  If you haven't witnessed our house, the "decorating" is..........fun......wild........artsy......hmmm.....

WELL, since he was getting paid....he went right to work!

 I LOVE IT, MAX!!
