I'm feeling a lot better this week my friends. It really was a rough couple of days last week and I'm so grateful for all my cat loving friends that commented, sent me cards and flowers.

A long time ago I shared how we ripped the carpet off of our stairs (click HERE to see) and then they sat there in a raw wooden state with only primed risers.
