Keeping busy

Mike and I were really busy this week.  We met with the contractor about starting the remodel on the downstairs bath.  Looked at tile for the bath.....too many choices!!  Then spent the rest of the week painting the ceiling in the living room.    

This is what the ceiling used to look like.....some kind of 1950's tiles, old and dirty.

We had a drywall person come in and rip out the old ceiling and apply new dry wall.  Very messy!!

 Even this looked better than the old ceiling.

It's hard to see, but Mike added more crown moulding to the ceiling (the raw wood board) then we painted all the moulding white.  Next week we paint the rest of the ceiling.  Check back and see what color we paint it.  HINT: it won't be white.



With a heavy heart.....

On Thursday, January 12th we lost our beloved dog Colleen.  While playing in the yard with Mike, her favorite thing to do, she suffered heart failure and passed away in a fleeting moment.  She lived a short life, only four years old, but she brought a lot of love to so many people. We miss her terribly and can't imagine life without her. This is my favorite picture of her, with her legs crossed, keeping an eye on  the squirrels in her backyard.
