Hi Friends! Way back in April when I went on retreat, a class was being conducted for the One Block Wonder quilt. I had never seen them and was instantly intrigued! I knew I had to try one so I signed up this Summer for the class. The class met twice. The first class was… Continue reading My One Block Wonder Class Project
Home Improvement Project – The Floor Moves Into The Kitchen!
In reality I really AM NOT a Hoarder! I just play one every once in a while when the house goes under de-struction re-construction! LOL! This is our kitchen, circa 1960-70's, looking into the family room and down the basement stairwell (unfinished). Looking back into the dining room and living room from the kitchen... We… Continue reading Home Improvement Project – The Floor Moves Into The Kitchen!
A Feeding Time Story – Our Typical Twice A Day Routine
Everyone is eating outside these days including Jim and I mostly due to the fact that our first floor is under construction and there just isn't anywhere to eat! The dynamic between the CCI Service Dog in training, Jamba, age 14 months, Holly, the 10 lb cockapoo, age 7 and now recovered from her health… Continue reading A Feeding Time Story – Our Typical Twice A Day Routine
Scenes From the Dashboard – Jarod’s Subway, More Windmills, Deer
Hey Everyone! Happy back to school! Last weekend was pretty busy as my nephew asked me to help him move to college...along with the help of his Mom, and of course our truck. Moving off campus is a big deal for any young person. It's the first time you are really on your own! You have rent,… Continue reading Scenes From the Dashboard – Jarod’s Subway, More Windmills, Deer
Home Improvement – Is this photographic proof I helped?
Jim came into the room and asked me if I had 'set' that board. "Why yes I did!" said I. Jim was making it look easy so I took the liberty of grabbing that hammer and whacking in a few nails. I had a bit of a gap so I stopped at just 1 board. … Continue reading Home Improvement – Is this photographic proof I helped?
So We Went to an RV Show And…
One thing led to another and before I knew it... I signed the longest, most ridiculous, piece of Illinois legalese paperwork I've ever seen! (and I even have a smile on my face!)... ...and I can't wait to use it! We'll take delivery in a few weeks since we are having some modifications done to the… Continue reading So We Went to an RV Show And…
Home Improvement — The Floor Begins!
Hi Everyone! We (mostly Jim) started laying down our new wood floor! Whoot! The floor we chose is rustic maple in a natural finish. I had a dickens of a time (does anyone say dickens anymore?) finding a pre-finished floor that would coordinate with the wood that already exists in the house. This maple, with… Continue reading Home Improvement — The Floor Begins!
Jamba, Here!
Jamba LOVES the water. Ever since we took him to Michigan and played in the lake he has been itching to get back there for more water fun! So during a recent camping trip we decided to take him to see the Ultimate in lakes...Lake Michigan! (yes, I know...he's seen it from the Chicago side… Continue reading Jamba, Here!
Home Improvement Project – Pulling up the old floor!
Hey Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted an update on our ground floor remodeling project so I thought it would be a good time to get caught up. The process is slow. We keep a busy schedule and the project gets done little bits at a time. We have (mostly Jim) pulled up the… Continue reading Home Improvement Project – Pulling up the old floor!
