I have finally gotten around to buying a shade (cheap & paper) that fits in the semi-round window in the living room. It looks great, was easy to install, cheap and looks a whole lot better than the piece of cardboard I use a few years ago.Then when we were at Lowe's a few weeks ago, I was looking at ceiling 
fans for the dining area and since dad was late meeting me, I decided to look at light fixtures just in case I found something I liked. Well, I've been thinking that I didn't to downgrade the light fixture in my "old bedroom" downstairs to something more in that time period. I found a fixture but it was $57 and I thought that was a little much for that room. I had heard about the Habitat for Humanity restore and so we took a drive over there and guess what I found - a fixture I liked even better and it was $10 - what a bargain. Here it is - what do you think?

Since he was busy putting up light fixtures, he thought we should have something with more light in the entry way. There were a couple at the Habitat Store that he really like but I thought they were a little "dated". He doesn't understand dated so when he went back to the store to get my end tables for the chocolate bedroom (another story), he bought a fixture for the entry way. It was beautiful in the 90's but he loves it - he likes glitz and it does sorta match the fan above the stairs so I guess it's OK.
That's it for this week. I'm going to sew valances for Chase's room today and maybe take a little nap. We're going to see dad's Aunt Jennie tomorrow and come home on Thursday. It was her 88th birthday yesterday. She's a "nifty" older lady.
Oh, just for your information, Barb Arntzen died last week. She was in her 90's and just didn't wake up one morning. Nancy said her health had been declining.
Have a super, duper week.
Goals for this week:
1. Send notes to Caleb, Helen, Norma, Claudia
2. Sew Chase's valances
3. Start Chase's bedquilt
4. Read more of my South Beach Diet Book3. Start Chase's bedquilt

I love it mom! You are a natural! Can I post it on my blog that you have a blog or is this just a private thing?
