I'm done with the interior and the last year has been the exterior. Now to put the finishing touches on. A new patio set with a fire pit.

Finishing up the Fence
Now that the trailer is gone and sold it's time to finish up the privacy fence.
Wow, that was fast, and the majority of the time was waiting for the gates to be built. I love it!

What a Storm
We are in a severe drought and really need the rain. Don't really need the hail but I guess we take moisture as we can get it. Hail didn't do any major damage but did a number on all my plants.
The wind was terrible. Stripped all the leaves off of trees and speckled the houses and the garage.
My poor hastas looked like a salad.
All I can say is at least we got some moisture.

Family Time
This was the best of the best weekend. Mom's 89th Birthday, celebrating John's retirement and finally I retired.
Happy 89th Birthday Mom
All of Gigi's grand kids. Excited that Stephanie and Jason came all the way from Oregon and Michael traveled in from New Hampshire.
Only missing 1, Dan.
All of Gigi's great grand children.
Mom's brothers and sister in laws came to help celebrate.
Mom and her girls.
Love these guys!

Dressing Up Gigi's House
I loved the cedar planter box the guy off of Facebook made so I ordered cedar shutters for mom's house. Dresses it up a little and it looks so nice.

Bye Bye Trailer
Well I finally made the decision. I'm getting rid of trailer. Several reasons that I'm doing this is #1, analyzing sales I'm changing my business strategy, #2, I can finish the fencing if the trailer is gone.
Auction company came and hauled away the trailer. Auction in 2 weeks.
It looks so much bigger with the trailer gone. Now to put every thing away.

Tile Job - Helping a Friend
Helping a friend tile her bathroom. I gotta say this was a little out of my comfort zone but it turned out great. We tiled the floor, shower and even the ceiling in the shower.
It's official, no more tiling, I'm retiring from tile!

Starting to work on the exterior of the house. Purchased these custom made cedar flower boxes off of Facebook. Love how they turned out.

Celebrating Christmas
Well better late than never. We miss Mike and Erin being here but were finally able to celebrate Christmas with Jeff's family. Everyone is healthy and it's so good to have all the kids together.
We had to start off with the traditional Christmas PJs picture.
My Pride and Joy

Happy New Year
Happy New Year. It's a tradition called winching to go visit family and kids receive coins. Gigi was ready and each one got a 50 cent piece.
They even learned how to say Happy New Year in German!
Photo Recreation
I love recreating old photos.
Boy have these kids grown and Gigi has on the same shirt. ;)

Introducing Gracy Lou
I've been considering for a while adding to my family. Gordon needs a friend to run around and keep him busy. Today Ada and Elin went on a road trip with me to pick up our newest family member. Meet Gracy Lou, a miniature Australian Shepherd.
My helpers keeping Gracy company while we drive home.
Meeting Gigi
Gordon wondering what the heck I was thinking!

Birthday Lunch
Since Elin's birthday is in December, it's a cold and crazy time of the year but we made sure and had a special lunch scheduled at the Blue Hook.
