It's been a very hectic week around here! Naomi took the girls to figure skating practice every single night this week except for Monday. Their big annual show was yesterday. My parents came up and our friend Pish came down. It was a lot of fun to watch the girls. They gave two performances yesterday. The second was after dinner. We went to the first one, after lunch. My parents and I went out for dinner while Naomi stuck with the girls. She is friends with one of the other moms so she likes going there.
Naomi sure could use another weekend, or perhaps a massage chair! Maybe she will come along with me to Menards today to sit in the one they have on display there. We are looking at another blizzard mid-week, now that most of our snow is gone, so she might get some time off again.
I made some good progress on the cabinet for my mom this week. Got the drill press and table saw set up to make mortise and tenon joints. That's a new one for me! I bought the special drill bits but didn't know you needed a whole assembly to make them work on the drill press. Luckily neighbor Rick had one I could borrow. Now that everything is set up, which took the better part of a day, it works really well. I will need to do a lot of these for the Morris chairs which is my next project that I plan to make for my parent's neighbors. Got the screws Naomi brought back from the Netherlands in use already, but one of the boxes was mislabeled! What a bummer.
