Lighter and Brighter!!

A Designer Backsplash adds to the decor (after several trips to Home Depot and Menards to find the right tile.

After taking doors off, now we clean and paint!

Madison Kitchen update at Jon's house

Here are the before, during and after pictures of the kitchen. The final completion picture will be posted later when the hinges arrive for the doors!

Pictures from our new house!

This is the guest bed with the pillows that I made from the left over curtains:)




These are pictures of the guest bedroom. As you can see the pink ceiling fan is now white. The walls area nice green color, the curtains are brown, and Rick put up my bookshelves! I realized after that I should've taken pictures as a before, during, and after standpoint. But you'll just have to know that there was an ugly hot pink tree right were the chair/book shelves are now.










Here's a picture of our bedroom. With the new ceiling fan/light added in!

We're not done decorating any room yet -- but I like what we've done so far :)

We're getting new gutters put on sometime next week and the window replaced in the bathroom - it's currently this glass brick thing that's pretty ugly (and rusting).

Hope you all have a good Memorial Day weekend! I'm going to try to make my first rhubarb/strawberry pie - hopefully it turns out.

A Boat for Kathy

Here is a boat I think we should consider, probably the last one unrestored. A PT boat without the guns and torpedos.  They are moving it to restore.  This thing is over 70' feet long and had a top speed of over 50 knots and carried full arms and 4 torpedos.  I can't imagine what a ride on one of these would be like. You may want to go to www.pt728.com to see a sister ship.

Florida in January

Here are some pictures of where I am staying and the sunrise from my windows in the morning You can see Zoe has a new friend. I have been studying under Willy a new way to fish. You simply through the net out and bring the fish. These are Talopia. The temps are now back in the 78's again what more could I ask for? See you all in spring.

Colorado Snowboarding 2009

Hi All:

Matt and I made plans to go out to Colorado snowboarding on short notice and left on Wednesday December 31 and just got back today (Monday).  We found a sweet deal for lift tickets - $99 for one day at each Steamboat, Winter Park, and Copper Mountain.  Of course we forgot to take a good camera with, but we did have mine with very limited battery.  So I took a few videos when we were out there and then stitched them together to make the following.  We had a good time - no serious injuries.
