It's Alive!! (Our blog that is)

As some of you know, as soon as we returned from our Spring Break trip to Florida, we purchased a cruddy, dirty, smelly townhouse to renovate. Attached, for your viewing pleasure, are pictures of the cruddy, dirty, smelly townhouse. I suggest you not be eating when you view these pictures. and, for the full effect. You must unplug your fridge and freezer, leave them for three months, open the doors and sit by them as you read this blog. I won't be hurt if you don't. The pictures (from left to right)

Basement (after we had already spent 3 days cleaning and organizing the junk that the previous inhabitants had left behind). The last two pictures are of the Garage.





















And..... Ah..... These are the pictures of the newly renovated, smell free, ready to be moved into, townhouse. You can unwrinkle your nose now. It's really quite nice.

Needless to say. we didn't have much of a life during the past 3 months. We spent every spare minute here. Now that it's done, we are enjoying having our lives back. We did a few fun things during the past 3 months. Like....

Our very wonderful friend Diane celebrated her birthday on the 28th of April. She wanted to go to Whistler for the weekend and bring along all of our scrapbooking stuff, and scrapbook our trip to Florida. So we did. We were joined by Shawn & Kristen for most of the weekend. We rented a conference room and brought along all of our scrapbooking stuff and had a great time. We also enjoyed some fabulous food at the Bear Foot Bistro and Rim Rock Cafe.

AND....we did this...

We celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary on May 12. Dan rented a convertible Mustang for the weekend. Now that's fun!!

It was a beautiful weekend and the kids loved driving around in the car.

More to come....
