Greg and I leave a month from today for our annual anniversary trip.  This year, we are going to play on the beaches of Corpus Christi and Padre Island for 8 days.  I can&#39;t wait for those walks on the beach at sunset&#33;&#33;&#33;  Had a busy day today.  My son, Chris, is leaving tomorrow morning to take his girlfriend to Vegas so he took today off to get some things ready.  He showed up here at 10:00 this morning (woke me up) and then we went to run a few errands and out to lunch.  He even went willingly to JoAnn Fabrics with me.  After we got back, and he left, I made a run to Hobby Lobby and Big Lots.  I had started the project several years ago of refinishing my piano - it had been at my mother&#39;s house from the time I was little until she passed away 11 yrs. ago.  Then I brought it here but it was not looking too pretty.  My stepdad always put his coffee cups on it and it had rings all over the top.  I tried to sand them out and they were so deep, I had to go all the way down to the natural wood.  Then I tried a brush on stain but it looked awful, so I only did a small part of it.  It has sat unfinished for all this time.  Anyway, I had such success refinishing my grandmothers cedar chest with a mahogany gel stain (my first time to use gel) on Monday that I decided to tackle the piano again.  It goes so quick that I already have the first coat on and will do another coat tomorrow.  I need to go to JoAnn&#39;s again and get fabric to recover the piano bench.  I would like some kind of tapestry material.  Well, guess I had better scoot - Greg just brought a box of the cookie dough up from the basement and is asking me how to make them - which translates into &quot;will you come do this&quot;....<br />
