For my birthday, back in March, Kevin bought me cruise control for Harvey, The Beast. He tried to install it - he had to take off the old steering wheel to put in the new one - but had some troubles. We brought it with us hoping we'd have more help. It worked out wonderfully! Kevin and his dad were able to get it all taken care of and his brother solved the last issue. We are so excited that it works! (What a difference it made on the trip home!) They were also able to fix the passenger door handle - which wouldn't open from the outside! Awesomeness! They were also able to figure out the issue with the electrical in the back so we can tow the trailer with lights and stuff! Successful trip!
While the men were busy with the car, the kids found way to entertain themselves. The girls enjoyed sitting around pretending together.
Ben was out in the woods making a fort and just being a boy.
For a couple days, while everyone else was doing their own thing, I was inside, working on recovering the dining room chairs. Lorraine picked out the fabric and we replaced the foam pad on the two chairs with arms and it was pretty easy (once we got the right size staples)!
I remembered to wash the fabric before I used it.
Cut it into equal parts.
Memere ironed it!
The pieces were ready to come together!
Here are three of the six finished chairs!
So we got lots of things done during vacation! How's that for combing work with pleasure?!?
