For several years, Dad and Chase took several trips a year to archery events, or "bow shoots", as they're more commonly called. They'd be gone for anywhere between a weekend and an entire week.

While they were gone, Mom and I would choose a room in the house and redecorate it in some way. New paint, new drawer/cabinet handles, etc. It got to the point where when Dad would call to check in, he'd say, "So, what room are you redoing this year?"

We haven't done that in a long time, but these valances are part of the latest kitchen theme.
