Party platter

So we had a surprise 50th birthday party to attend yesterday and I didn’t want to show up empty-handed. Problem was that I also couldn’t really cook or bake anything due to the no stove/ oven, too windy for the grill kind of day. Jar of nutella on hand equals...

Lunch

No stove, no grill with side burner, no problem. My stove is in the living room (where it will remain until the kitchen has been painted). The side burner of my grill would be less than efficient today given the wind speeds. I went to the Farmer’s market this morning...

Getting a little greener

I just placed an order today for my reusable grocery bags.  I’ve been wanting them for a while but hadn’t found any that I liked.  I really wanted something about the same shape and size as the brown paper ones at Whole Foods, just re-usable.  And I wanted something with...

There’s no place like home…

Dorothy had it right.  Much as we liked the accommodations at Sarah and Ger’s, it’s very nice to be home.  And the floor is done.  We can walk on it without shoes.  In about 7 days we can bring the appliances back in too.  It looks very nice.  In fact...

Acomodations

So the acomodations where we are staying are very nice.  First of all there is a kitchen that has counters, cabinets, a sink, and even a dishwasher.  All of the kitchen appliances are even in the kitchen, rather than scattered throughout the living and dining areas.  There are plush rugs...

Crazy week

So I didn’t post all of last week because it was pretty hectic.  We were sanding and mudding again after a portion of the ceiling cracked (what fun).  In fact we still hadn’t gotten the ceiling fan hung by Sunday morning and Chris woke up with serious back probs (likely...

Back from the land of migraine

That’s where I’ve been for the past two days.  Just after my last post I had a nasty migraine come on and spent the following 48 hours doped up on pain killers and lying in bed for hours on end.  Nothing pisses me off more than wasting a beautiful day...

Pam’s bday party

So I couldn’t post anything about what we were doing this weekend because it was a surprise. Pam had a birthday on Friday and so Gabriella planned a surprise birthday picnic at Robinson State Park with some close friends. We all brought food, and there were balloons, and flowers, and...

Pics from NY

The pics are finally up from our trip to NY this past weekend. I’ve been slacking. I can blame it on the heat or the fact that I’ve been tired for the last 5 days, but really I’ve just been lazy. This one is my favorite of the bunch So...
