First the update.  My dad is relocated at the rehab facility and making slow progress.  I received word today from my sister that they installed a speaking valve in his trach and he can now talk.  This is great news because he can now communicate with the medical staff and second...it is a morale booster for him to be able to talk to visitors.
Now on to the new link.
Two days ago I received an email from someone about an oval oak end table I had listed on Craigslist.  When I emailed her back she noticed my email signature and that it listed my blogs.  She mentioned that she, too, had a blog.  Long story short.....she bought the table to paint and embellish with her fabulous style.
Her blog is called My Painted Stuff.  Check out Dineen's great pieces.  I can't wait to see what she does with the oval end table.  I am sure it will be fabulous.
