Have you ever been totally dedicated to one project and had to give lesser time to the rest of your life? That's been me for the last week: I've been repainting my guest room. It was a blah, washed-out, grey-blue and the time had come for a makeover. Now the ceiling is fresh white, the walls are a warm golden yellow, and my wonderful son-in-law installed a quiet, beautiful ceiling fan this afternoon. What's left is only painting the baseboards and doors which I hope to accomplish tomorrow.
Ordinarily, I would spread out a big project over a few more days, but I want everything in top shape when my brother, Don, and sister-in-law, Kathleen, visit later in the month. So, for now, I'm just retiring to bed early!
I paged through the rest of the December, 1932, issue of National Geographic Magazine. There are two stories left in the issue which look quite interesting, one about Magellan's voyage around the world hundreds of years ago. I remember reading about Vasco da Gama's journey from Portugal south around Africa's tip to India and back. What adventures! This promises to be even more exciting.
Then there is a story about a diver under the sea. I will report to you about these articles soon. Good night!
