Thanks for joining me as I record my thoughts and feelings for 3974th time in this daily blog.
Yesterday, I decided to record the amazing progress my husband Michael has made in restoring a painted-over tin ceiling in our home.
Since I made that video record yesterday morning, he’s installed all the rest of the stripped tin pieces. Here and now, I would like to officially record my gratitude, admiration, and love for my husband Michael (previously known here as my boyfriend Michael).
Today I’ll be checking out a venue in Cambridge where I plan to record a live album of my original songs around the time of my 50th college reunion in May.
For the record, I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m having all sorts of feelings about it.
Here are the rest of my images for this record post.

I don’t make up those daily holidays, I just record them. And I hope you don’t have a record bad day on Have a Bad Day Day.
Feel free to record your reactions to this “record” post in the comments section, below, and, as always, I want to record my thanks to YOU.
here’s to the magic tin man and all of his hard work. I’d like to have the world record for dancing like no one is watching.
What a magical record to have, beth!
Love the ceiling! So beautiful. — Beth and I will have to compete for the world recovd for dancing like no one is watching! 🙂
Love to see beautiful you here again, Louise!
I record everything I can remember about things going on in my world – that’s why I created BarbarasBookhouse. Today I will be recording thoughts about the novel, “Galileo’s Dream,” by Kim Stanley Robinson, that I just finished reading.
Thanks for all that you record, Barbara.
It would be for documenting the first ever phainopepla nitens to occur in Nebraska, where bird records go back to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, 1804-1806.
This was in 1980. No new phainopepla records have been documented since. This record, made by this amateur birder at the time, was upsetting to more proficient and serious birders in the state, who thought it unfair a backyard birder with a camera should luck out and make the single most exclusive sighting in state history. (How do you write a Bronx cheer?)
Well, that’s an interesting bird,” I thought when I spotted it on my backyard birdbath. Little could I guess just how interesting at the time!
What an amazing record!
There are some really fascinating reports here of records held & wished for!
Thanks for recording your comment, Debbie!
Ann,
You’re the only other person I know who has a tin ceiling. In your kitchen, I presume? Mine is in the eating area off the kitchen proper. Anyway, we love ours. I found a vendor at Round Top, Texas, years ago who had a few with him but said he had a bunch more at his place in Oklahoma. So, it became an adventure and we went out to his place about a month later and bought a bunch of mismatched tins. I loved the old patina they had but worried about lead in the paint. So I sealed them before they were installed. The guy who installed them laid them out in a pattern on the grass that made sense based upon my ceiling’s measurements. He did a great job! Whenever someone new comes to our house, it’s one of the first things they remark on. I remember when they were first installed, I laid on the floor and just stared at them for a solid hour. That was back in 2002, maybe? I love them to this day! 🙂 I hope you are as happy with yours as I’ve been with mine! Mona
Hi, Mona! The tin ceiling is in a part of a sitting area. Thanks for sharing the record of your great experience with a tin ceiling!
Michael did an amazing job.
I agree!
It’s amazing that Michael has restored the record of the original ceiling, making a record of his own. And I can understand your nervousness but I’m also excited that you’re making a record of your own.
For the record. Chris, you are a very good friend.

If you put the 3 of 3975 at the end, then you have 9753. Which are descending odd
numbers. 1 is not an odd number . 1 is considered an even number, because of the definition of even numbers.
Lani? Is that really you?
