BATHROOM – BEFORE THE REMODEL DAY 151 of P365
One rainy day we got this hair brained idea to remodel the bathroom. This was back in March (LOL). It’s now the end of July and I’d say we’re not even quite 1/2 way done with this project. I was going to wait and post about it when it is …
OUT WITH THE OLD – DAY 150 of P365
By the time I came home from town the wallpaper was almost completely taken down. Thankfully, Emily was home to document each step of the destruction (LOL)! After the wallpaper was all stripped off, Tim & the boys started taking apart the sink/cupboard. Here they are hauling the top out …
IN WITH THE NEW – DAY 149 of P365
Well… in as in into the house, not into the bathroom… not yet….. TODAY the new sink has taken up residence in a corner of our library. I was SO CONFUSED by this picture. I KNEW I hadn’t put anything on top of it.. then I realized Emily had taken …
PLUMBING – DAY 148 of P365
Nathan didn’t want to venture down under the house! He stayed a good distance away from the hole and pointed to where Josh and Tim had disappeared. His job was to holler at me and tell me anything the guys under the house needed! It’s a very important job! Here’s …
SHISH KA BOBS – DAY 146 of P365
YUM! We love shish-ka-bobs in the summer! I loved how colorful this picture turned out. We BBQ ours on the grill outside. The steak was marinated in my favorite teriyaki sauce which I’ll go ahead and post with this entry. TERIYAKI SAUCE 1/3 cup soy sauce1/3 cup salad oil1/3 cup …
RICE – DAY 145 of P365

MIP – DAY 143 of P365
Awhile ago I posted information regarding Emily’s volleyball team last year. We weren’t able to make it to the end-of-year awards banquet since we were in Denver (pictures from that trip to be uploaded very soon), but we found out later that Emily was voted MIP – most improved player …
SPRING STORM – DAY 142 of P365
This is the mess we arrived home to after the Sunday evening graduation party. Fortunately, we didn’t have any serious damage. A large tree branch fell over onto the powerline that goes from the road to our house. The weight of it knocked this power pole over. It snapped off …
COSTCO RUN – DAY 141 of P365
This is what our cart usually looks like when we make a Costco run (LOL)! Most of these groceries were for Amanda’s graduation party! I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying that Costco is the $100 store – as in you can’t get out of there for under $100 (LOL). …
