Handy Steve

I convinced Steve that the TV over the fireplace was awesome, but he wanted to mount it on an "articulating arm" so he could move it around. He borrowed a special drill from some guy and drilled into the mortar of the fireplace. I was sure he was going to reduce our house to rubble. And, for a while, that seemed like a possibility:

But, Steve did it! And the TV looks great! Now everyone is happy.

With it's new location, we freed up a bunch of floor space in the living room and I created a "conversation nook." As Steve pointed out, it's a place I go to talk to...myself. The whole family watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty last night on the new set up and it was very nice!! Although, Wm declared the movie "boring" about 15 minutes in and disappeared into his room. Typical.

Wm goes to another birthday party tomorrow afternoon - and Steve and I got free tickets to the Home & Garden Show at the fairgrounds. So everyone wins!! 

I just thought this was hilarious:
