Catching up.
Tom & I recently visited friends who just bought a mountain cabin. From their front porch, you can clearly see Ghost Town In The Sky.
When we woke up the next morning, it had snowed in Ghost Town.
The backyard of the cabin still had snow from the previous week.
Tom & I kept both little grandgirls overnight recently. This must be what it's like to have twins. It was so much fun and so busy!
Food Service was provided in the den while we watched college football bowl games.
Cady, reading to herself.
Brie got the crib, so Cady shared a mat with me on the den floor. When she finally fell asleep, she didn't move all night long.
Remember in January 2009 when Tom said, upon completion of our kitchen renovation, that he wasn't tackling any project (big or small) for one year? Well, Tommy Boy, it's been a year.
January 4, 2010, the Rucker Demolition Dust Bowl begins!!!
Tom began on the wall that separates our breakfast room and our den.
We're also taking down the walls on either side of the fireplace. When I returned from a morning out, Tom had already removed the built-in desk and shelves.
By nightfall, he'd partially removed this wall. Yippee! I'm excited. Of course, upon further accessment of this project, we now see the need for new flooring. Oops. . . . ya think maybe this was my ulterior motive?? No, honestly, we need more room when the family gets together. My house is the hub for not only my immediate family, but for my sister & brothers & sister-in-laws. At Christmas we were packed in the den like sardines.
After considering the cost of adding on, we decided to knock down a few walls and open up this place. I believe it will make a huge difference when we're finished . . . which is another thing. With Tom doing most of the work, we may be looking at a completion date of January 2011!!!! Patience, dear Joy, patience.
