No posts since Thanksgiving, I guess that is just par for the course during a busy holiday season. A lot has been going on since then. First of all, we spent some days finishing our foyer area in the house. We had an awful border around the ceiling which I totally hated - it made it dark and seemingly low in there, plus, it was just ugly. So... I de

Just in time for the holidays. Rich and I will be staying here for the holidays, relaxing and playing. Kathy has a friend visiting and she will be vacationing down south for a few days with her. Kathy and I will road trip, probably to CA after New Year's when Rich is working. Hope the holiday season is treating you all well!!
