Tuesday SOL 6/28/16 - Another Finished Project



Earlier this spring we began our wood wall project in the dining area.  That was completed, but now we've added cabinets and some wall decorations.  Yesterday we got the final piece - the granite counter top finished it off.

















There will probably be some additions to the wall hangings.  I need to get a feel for what it needs, but for now I'm enjoying it.

The final change was made yesterday to our French door going out to the patio.  With the door swinging inward, it was always in the way and there was no screen on it.  So, we replaced it with a sliding glass door.  What a difference it has made.  The French door didn't let in much light, but now it seems like the whole backyard is an extension of the house.

I think (at least as of now) this will be our last large project on our home.  We've been here almost a year and feel completed at home and enjoying every moment of it.

    Nice! What I like is your ability to consider a project finished, and to be satisfied with your house. Not everything has to be never-ending. Your work pleases you, and the door decision sounds like it really made a difference in the space. Enjoy.

    That looks great! What a feeling of accomplishment! Hopefully Michelle's new house is not full of projects to tackle too.

    Love what you did. I agree that it is important to get a feel of a place before adding too much. Glad you are enjoying your home.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
