Honey Do's & hard boiled eggs

Do you ever come up with what some may call strange or creative ideas? These ideas will pop in my head, and thankfully I have a husband who entertains those ideas and is handy enough to tackle them. I bought this bunk bed years ago at a garage sale. It was painted with thick glossy lime green, orange, and yellow paint, which may have been okay for some, but not me. I didn't have a clue what to repaint it as, but knew it would be perfect for my then toddler punks. Then, the idea hit me. We'll paint it like a log cabin and the slide a waterfall. Perfect! So after burning out a couple sanders and using Kilz primer we got it repainted. Sadly, my practice side is showing and the best side is against the wall, but still not bad. And, look at the awesome waterfall hubby came up with, including frogs, butterflies, fish, and a dragonfly. And, yes, Kermit lives underneath the waterfall. Another idea we have been working on for a couple of years was putting in a barn door for the door to my studio. I came across an awesome door on a falling down barn, asked the owners, paid for the collapsed barn, and walla we have a barn door. It took a bit, but dear handy hubby came through, and now we have this awesome door in our basement that works wonderfully too.

The latest project was some old wooden windmill blades. I knew when we got them I would want to try to hang them in our basement rec room. However, they are quite large and heavy. Well, while my mom, friend, and I were off junkin', dear handy hubby and our eldest punk got them hung. I was so excited. Everyone sees them seems to love them too.

I guess after 20 years of crazy ideas, I'll keep that dear handy hubby, even if he keeps putting fresh eggs in with my hard-boiled ones, and only hears half of what I say. At least he seems to hear the crazy ideas if I say them enough. You're a keeper. Happy Anniversary!

P.S. To decipher hard boiled versus fresh eggs, spin them. After you put your finger on the fresh one to stop it, it will start spinning again (and, it doesn't spin as easy as the hard boiled one). The hard boiled spins faster but stays stopped once you put your finger on it.
