restoration

Our guest room has been less than ideal of late. Well, "of late" means ever since we've had one.


It's been great being able to offer guests their very own private room, their very own bed and their very own bathroom but there have been a few problems. The bed was a little small (a full), old (used to be at Terry's grandparents house) and bendy (think dog-pile) and the toilet was almost miniature and on the fritz. Terry liked to compare that toilet to one you'd find in an airplane, just to give folks warning. And the bed was difficult, especially if you were pregnant and here w/your tall husband. His feet hang off and you both roll to the middle of the bed...


Enter Terry's dad, Jerry. He likes to take care of things.


We asked him to keep an eye out at home want-ads for lightly used mattresses and we did the same here in our paper. We also had plans to replace that toilet, but since it's a parsonage, we had to go through the right channels which delays us b/c we forget...


Jerry and Alice happened to visit last weekend and they brought w/them a brand new queen size mattress in the back of his truck!


Then, after the first service of church (we had to stay till after Sunday school and second service) he drove to Menard and picked up a small, new toilet! He even installed it for us!

Thanks Jerry!



They even gave us that sheet/comforter set for Christmas since they knew we were looking.


See that TV in the closet? It happens to be there on purpose and it's hooked up to our basic, safe, 20 channel cable. Yeah, we treat you right at the B"s B&B. Please come and visit!!!


The sawww-eet new, squeaky clean toilet! Noah was the first to use it... =)
