Happy Birthday Dorianne

Happy Birthday Dori. We had a pool party and dinner on the deck. Since we don't have a kitchen yet. It was a beautiful day. Dorianne received some great presents. We surely love her. Dori had her favorite ice cream cake.

Love the kindle.

Construction coming along. The cabinets look great. The white island really sets it off. Can't wait until next week when the granite countertops are in and the tile floor done. Getting closer.

Construction Update July 15th

The construction is coming along. You can see the veneer going on the cabinets now. All the appliances and sink are out. Fun cooking meals on the barbecue, or eating out more. The tile is in, but it won't be put in until we leave for Boise. The cabinets will all be done next week. Debbie has been working hard on the dust control. Ben put the sheet rock in around the new window and most of the trim. We bought the sconces to go on the wall tonight. Looking good. We'll keep you updated on the progress.

Cool in LA

It was cool for our visit to Danny and Danielle. In the 60's most of the time. The sun broke through late in the afternoon sometimes. It was good for us because Spokane was smoking hot.The beach at Santa Monica, you can see the pier in the background. Not too many swimmers.

Litte Sonny was the reason we were there. He is so cute and so good. We love him to pieces.

Rosabelle was supposed to get her stitches out, but they put if off 5 more days. She is a cutie and one smart barely 2 year old. Thank you Danny and Danielle for a fun stay at your house.

Construction Zone

The remodel on the house is going slow. Ben and DaNae took out the tile floor and we got the sub-floor down, but the tile was backoredered. Hopefully be in this week. Ben put a new window in the dining room where the wall of mirrors was. It looks very nice, but Mom wants some sconce lights on either side and the electrician hasn't come by yet, so Ben can't put the sheet rock back up. Hopefully this week we'll get the kitchen painted. Then the tile in and then the cabinets. It will be close to get it finished for when the kids are coming in and we're heading to Boise.

I'll try to be better updating my blog for my very few fans who are complaining.

Lots of work to do in the kitchen, at least the dust is gome.
New window on the deck, gone is the wall of mirrors. I miss it, but the window is nice.
