Playing Favorites

Wednesday is my favorite day of the week . . just for this semester which ends tomorrow! Chad has class from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. It isn’t that I don’t like having Chad around . . most of the time I love it but I surely do love my time alone. Since I sew in the basement and Chad’s room is in the basement (his choice!), he gets aggravated if I start sewing too early and anything before noon is early in Chad’s eyes!

As I danced down the stairs shortly before 9 this morning, anticipating the day mostly to myself, I smiled when I reached the bottom of the stairs. The first area I see is the wet bar area downstairs.

Our house in Owensboro was the first time I ever had a basement and I always wanted a little fridge down there where I could keep my Dr. Pepper and water but we never did put one there. This house has a wet bar and a full size fridge and that makes me very happy.

Also in Owensboro, I kept wanting Vince to put a screen door up so I could open the solid door and let a bit of the outside in. I think we even bought a screen door once but never put it up. This house has a screen (notice the main door is open today and Speck can’t escape!).

And, when I walk out the open door, this is what I see! No close neighbors and a park like setting, aside from the massive concrete patio and sidewalk of my own house . . which was already here when we bought the house.

Ahhh, the shelf whereupon sits my XM Radio! I love having my music up full blast when I’m home alone.

Maybe my favorite thing down here is the longarm. I can’t imagine life without my Millennium!

But, definitely my favorite part of my sewing room is my little buddy who is never far away. He’s either sleeping on a pillow (there’s a pillow under that quilt) or he’s in the recliner under a pillow — wherever he can have his best view of what I’m doing.
A day to myself . . I wonder if I’ll have to wait til school starts again in August to have a whole day to myself!
