Earlier this month my girls performed their last dance recital. They've moved on to other activities as mentioned in a previous post. This was a bittersweet performance not only because my daughters won't be dancing anymore (my oldest just loves ballet and lyrical), but also because a girl at the dance studio committed suicide and...

Twenty-sixteen went by fast. I now have a feeling technology makes life move faster. Not literally, of course, but just the time spent on the Internet on social media, blogs, and smartphones takes up almost every minute of our lives. I'm happy to say that I was still able to accomplish 2 of my 5... Continue Reading →
Welcome November! October felt a little long this year but it could be due to the steady weather we've had. Just maybe a couple of days of rain during the night and zero snow. Anyhow, in mid-September, Artifact Uprising offered free square prints and I thought I'd try it out to see what's so special... Continue Reading →

Husband put in the backsplash to cut cost. Before his current career and before loading and unloading for UPS, he tiled for a living. He worked through a company but billed his own hours, so in essence, he was his own business. He would get up just before dawn and head downtown to the heart... Continue Reading →
Here's the new faucet and sink. It's beautiful.
The granite counter tops are done. The faucet looks tilted because it wasn't screwed in yet. The plumber came the day after the granite went in and put in the plumbing and faucet.
Junk inside the island area. We had the house built in 2009 and were always suspicious of things like this from the construction crew. Once we found a soda can inside the wall after they had sealed it up. They had to move or add an outlet and when the construction guy broke through the... Continue Reading →
