Draft dodger

This is not a fancy door, but let me tell you, it is much appreciated…keeping our bathroom warm.  This was not even thought about when we built the house.  Sure, this is our master bath and no one can see into it, so why do we need a door?  The only thing visible from the bedroom is part of the vanity, so why bother with a door that is gonna be in the way? (duh…wish we had thought about a pocket door…simple during construction and would have been the perfect solution!).

We learned during the first winter that a door would keep the heat INSIDE and keep down a pesky wind draft.  Or we could go to Florida during the winter!

Well, winter came a bit early this year, so MM was motivated to make a change.  We found a $2 bi-fold door at a local thrift shop; MM installed it to try it out, and decided it would work!  He did go to the “box store” and purchase a new door and got it installed, easy peasy.

If we don’t like it, MM will replace it with a “real” door.  He is a great handyman!

So now it is Friday and I am wide awake and up far too early, but I can get a few things done before I drive friend Maryan to the city for some tests.  Tonight is the last home football game, so we shall be in the stands during halftime watching Ansley in the band.  Macey (middle school band) will be assisting with a flag unfurling during the show.  We are so blessed to have all our grandchildren nearby.

We have food, a roof over our heads, and heat in our bathroom…but we have sorrow in our hearts for those affected by Bad Sandy.

Life is good in Mayberry, y’all!   Count your blessings!!!  And make a donation to help storm victims, if you can.
