a little diy...

Sometimes good things just happen.  Like when Caleb and I had decided we wanted to try and find a second-hand playset for our yard and then out of the blue a lady in our ward asked us if we might be interested in a playset her neighbor was trying to get rid of.

Yes, please!

Although it was old and dingy-looking, it had good bones.  Besides, you can't beat free.  With a bottle of wood cleaner, two cans of stain, and a new swing, we think it turned out great.  Caleb has plans to expand (he's always trying to make things bigger and better), but for now Jane loves it.
