Adventure: a bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome.

Synchronicity: the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.

This morning I was day-dreaming about  moving my sewing upstairs, even though I like having a craft room, because I like spending time on the same floor with my wife. Also the dogs prefer having us at least on the same floor, if not in the same room. And we know who runs the household.

Actually the cats run the household. They sometimes let the dogs make a lot of fuss about something. But I digress.

I could move my sewing up except then I’d have to move our bar which currently resides in the dining room. I did think the right setup would make an really nice addition to the living room, as it is particularly long and we have the wonderful big screen TV there.

I brushed it off – as I do most household reorgs – because we have bigger fish to fry, always. Things to clean, move, fix.

Hours later, opened my email.

Understand, we have an under-stair closet that is perfectly suited to this! If … we took out the door and a bit more wall. A carpenter could install cabinets and shelves in a day or two. The cooler is a bit more challenging as there isn’t electricity along that wall but that’s not a huge expense. Just the wall.

Our favorite remodeling idea response lately? “If we are going to spend that kind of money on the house, then we’d better live here until we are 90!”

And now I can’t get this out of my head: a social worker shows up at the house when we are 90, finds us in our mechanical stand-you-up recliners, playing with our virtual reality game systems or watching football on our full-wall TV. Right next to this gorgeous, fully stocked bar.

Aging is such an adventure!
