My guess is that you have turned the corner and now you see your basement as having fresh potential. What fun; choosing new paint colors!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820224609357654984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079281006825800834.post-92175186673197594622008-07-01T05:17:00.000-06:002008-07-01T05:17:00.000-06:00That's a *very* good sign IGW.

We're losing quite a bit of nostalgic stuff for us from the basement too, but fortunately our appliances (esp the brand new furnace!) got a little wet, but are still working fine. We too feel really fortunate in many ways (we're still hauling ruined stuff out of the basement) because there were quite a few people in town (and elsewhere) who did lose everything. <BR/><BR/>A bunch of accumulated junk and other stuff that should probably have gone anyway, that's nothing! :-) That's what we keep saying (though losing all my grad school notes and writings and my teaching stuff, that really hurt!) <BR/><BR/>It's still a good mantra.Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.com
