It's so true. My list of things to do (embroidery of course) only grows longer. As someone told years ago, we can't die until we finish all of our projects. Hmmm, can I get everything done and all of my resources used up by the time I am 150?

HA HA HA! Well at least Ann is not in your man cave! Trev and I both have "our own room" - he who must be obeyed has a study and I have the master bedroom!! (Mine is bigger!)

by dennis999 22 Apr 2014

In my case the garage IS the man cave.................all habitable rooms are out of bounds to me!!!!!

I thought the penultimate questions was that once the basement, attic, garage etc. was cleaned out, the kids would move in............ he he he!
