Hubby and I went to talk to Fred! (to refresh your memory of Fred read here) about the fence, which Fred hates. This year we are water proofing the fence. It’s been a long haul of several weekends but it’s almost done. Today I will finish up while hubby is at work. We went overContinueContinue reading “Fences, Christmas Cookes and Jenn Air Stoves”

7th Annual Chili Fest
For the past 7 years Hubby has done an annual Chili Day. Chili is served along with sour cream, cheddar cheese and tortillas. No salad. No side items. Chili.

It means we get high-quality materials each step of the way. I’m not always very patient, but with this kitchen I am. The stove wasContinueContinue reading “The Kitchen Is Done!!!!”

OK, what I didn’t say is that he takes the opportunity of his yearly Christmas cookie deliveries to play Mr. FBI and grill us about how we take care of the house. It sounds funny but I swear this guy must have been a cop because it isContinueContinue reading “Christmas Cookie Secret Break Down”
Ommm, oops
So, I come home today and my accent wall is painted. My first thought was “it’s too orange.” Then I thought I liked it. Then I didn’t. Then I turned off all the lights and realized I liked it just fine in the dark. OK, I can take a hint, I need darker paint. TryContinueContinue reading “Ommm, oops”
