Just in case you aren’t sure which items found under our couch in the TV room are from my side, let me clarfy. Everything on the right including the scrapbook cutout is mine. I think Jerry’s side looks more delicous though!

Earlier last year with the help of a good friend I repainted our master bedroom and retreat. At the time we had our bed in the retreat area and my craft and computer desk were in the actual bedroom area.

Finally finished the drapes for the living room. They weren’t really that hard to make, it was more about how time conconsuming it was to lay them out on the living room floor and about how hard all of that was on my back. Nothing like company coming, oh and enough time passing that I [...]

We always have a nice time when our youngest son Matt comes down from his place for a visit. Being the amateur photographer buff that I am (which doesn’t compare at all to the professional photographer that Matt is) I snapped a few pictures of him while we sat on the patio. He is most [...]

Surprise suprise! That’s what Jerry and I thought when the 5.4 earthquake came rolling through our town today. I was at my girlfriend Jill’s house sitting on the floor and couldn’t believe how long it lasted. It came on strong with a pause. I watched my girlfriends floor, window, and door wave like an ocean!
