Our Summer has been fun and exciting so far! Sandra hand has healed nicely, she is back to her favorite activities quilting, cooking and helping me refinish our antique furniture. Our new and recent hobby is caning. Finding people to Cain chairs is really hard. It is getting to be a lost art. So we are learning through a book program. Hopefully planning a business of refinishing and caning furniture as a side Job.
The trunk above is our current project. It was Sandra's grandmother's (Christine Starnes). We have stripped it down to the wood and stained it. (More pictures to come later).
It will be good for another 100 years!
The pie safe on the left is a recent addition. It has been restored except for the tin. They used screen instead of the tin on this pie safe. We will be replacing the screen with tin and displaying our 19th century cooking utensils in this cabinet.
As for traveling and day trips we put them on hold due to the heat. We both burn and melt so easily!
We are catching up on movies and trying to keep our garden alive. Which the heat has just about done it in except for the herbs and banana peppers.
But the one thing we plan to do on the 4th is cook out at Sandra's parents. Visit with friends and family while we are there.
Stay cool until next time!
Steffon and Sandra
