SPRING HAS SPRUNG

May 2008.

You can uncross your fingers now...


We flipped the crest. Only then did I realized the grout we used was for the bathroom and not the mudroom floor which was way too light. Our solution... hours spent using a dremel tool to remove every spot of light grout without dislodging any tiles. It was then set into the foyer floor and grouted with the neighboring slate tile. So, if you don't count using the wrong grout, hours of tedious grout removal, several chucks of tiles popping out while it was being set and one husband flipping his lid, it went pretty well.


(end result)




Master bath tile is done.


Ditto for the guest bath.




Let there be light...

All of our cool light fixtures were bought using change we had saved over the years in an empty water cooler bottle.





The family still wants to come up even though when they do we make them do hard stuff like dig ditches for the downspouts.


The morels were popping and hunting them is our new favorite springtime hobby. It was our guest's first hunt and guess what? They found all of them.

D cooked them up in a yummy stir fry for us all.




I smuggled in a surprise birthday cake for a certain someone who turned 16.
