Well, whoever bet on the bookcases to win this weekend, you get a prize! I spent the better part of Saturday staining the third bookcase, but it is not the same shade. All three were supposed to be Minwax Espresso, but the middle case is now a bit redder than the other two! WTF!?!? Ugh..

Mother\u2019s day came and with all of the quarantining happening, we still managed to visit our mom\u2019s. Even though the weather tried to rain us out, we found ways around that. At my MIL\u2019s we pulled out the awning on her camper and stayed dry, while at my mom\u2019s we stood in the garage for a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also spent time with my wife, helping her make an order of masks for her best friend\u2019s, uncle\u2019s business. 24 masks, 12 large, and 12 medium. I helped by cutting them out on her Cricut machine and then trimming excess thread and pressing the hems. I\u2019m a good helper! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
