Home Show

We went to the Home Show in Wenatchee yesterday. We had never been to it before and it was alot of fun! We went in with Jessie but lost him the within the first 15 minutes.

I thought this was a cool fountain idea...I have been wanting to do something like the blue urn, maybe I will.

The whole pond theme was kinda interesting .... and different.

Next we headed over to Costco. We had been talking about getting a 32" flat screen for the bedroom in the new house and found one at Costco. It should work out great! We went back to Cashmere to rest up before heading out to a Chinese Buffet. It was pretty good but DH and JD had to eat the baby octopus...Yuck!

I like the table that JD got for his dining room, it fits his style! It is a tall counter height table and chair set.

This was his free find.

It was sitting out by the road to give away!! It will look nice with a fresh coat of paint, out on his porch this spring. I wish I could find a freebie like that!

After a lazy morning we came back home. The sun was shining, snow melting (although very slowly) there is hope that spring is coming!

Master Bath

Mike has finished laying the tiles in the master bathroom. The floor, shower and bathtub surround are all in travertine. We bought the 18" tiles last spring. I really like how they turned out. It was a lot of work...but I tell him it was worth it. It is Beautiful! I will give you a sneak peak of how they look. He put in the vanities and mirrors too.

Although it looked really pretty out it was still cold..but a little sunshine is always a good thing.

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was Mom's 76th birthday!!
We brought dinner over to her after I got off work. We had chicken that Mike had roasted, coleslaw, dressing and a sugar free cheesecake I made. She had received several phone calls and cards wishing her a Happy Birthday. She sure is a popular Lady!

It is still soo cold outside...this is the dead of winter. At least the days are starting to get a bit longer. It is supposed to be in the 40's next week....I sure hope so.

What a Sale!

This weekend we went to Cashmere to visit Jessie (he just had his 30th Birthday...I can't believe it either!!). His house is looking so homey. He got some curtains for his Master Bedroom while we were there and put them up.. He really does have good taste!

I went in to shop at Craft Warehouse and happened upon a sale, 90% off Christmas stuff...wow! Here is a picture of most of the loot I got. Only $20 bucks!! Now I'm thinking I should have got more...but I am so done with Christmas.

Hoar Frost

We have been in the fog all week. Although it is cold and cloudy it is really quite beautiful. The most ordinary things look magical in the thick frost.

Looking Down our Driveway ...See how fuzzy the wire fence looks.

Wire fencing looks so cool in the frost! Chicken wire and woven wire.

Tree branches heavy with frost. Notice the bald eagle in the top of the tree of the 2nd picture. He sat there all morning.

Here is Cherry checking out me and the camera...she was happily eating breakfast in the barn.

Happy 2009

We had a very nice Holiday...quiet, but nice. Mom, Dad and Jimmy were up on Christmas Eve for our traditional Oyster Stew and goodies...Jessie made it home finally about 2 hours later. Not to worry though, there was plenty left for him. Christmas morning the boys were here to open gifts and have a leisurely breakfast. Then Jessie got called back to work...an offer he couldn't refuse. He took off before noon. We had our Christmas dinner of Prime Rib and Ham with all of the trimmings ending with Steamed Christmas Pudding. We missed having Kelly and Ryan with us this year.

Christmas Morning 2008

3 Spoiled Pups

It is snowing again today. It was feeling like spring a few days ago but now it is winter again.

Dixie - my yearling filly...isn't she cute!!

More Pix

We had a nice Thanksgiving with Mom & Dad, Jessie and Jimmy, I didn't take any pictures though...darn!

Mike has been working on the new house. He put the wood floors in the bathroom, toilet and sinks. It turned out nice.

He put laminate counter tops in the kitchen ( the island & sidebar are granite), then used slate tiles to tie the two together. I love how it turned out!! He still has crown and hardware to install, but it is really coming along!

We have cardboard on the floors to help protect the wood until the work is done.

Here are a couple of pictures of Mom & Dad's garage...finally!

And my house with Christmas lights!!

No snow yet, tonight it is mild and raining lightly. I want snow for Christmas...but after Jan 1st it can melt!
