DONE!

The Amarillo kitchen update is DONE!  We think that it came together nicely!  There was lots of thought and preparation involved.  A few changes occurred throughout the process.  The back splash was particularly difficult, but the color enhancer/sealer was the deciding factor that really seemed to bring it all together. The biggest challenge was the cook top.  A down draft is very expensive with limited choices in the 36" size.  We went from two burners to five!  So far, we have used two, but it is nice to have options.

My general contractor was fabulous! 

We are pleased.

So, what do you think?

Rock Climbing

After their departure,

we rode the new 4 wheeler trail,

then went for a walk.

It is just too quiet here, now!

We are so thankful for our family

and our time together.

Happy Thanksgiving!   

A Fun, Fun, Fun Day!

Some mornings are quiet.

You know it's gonna be a great day

when your breakfast starts out like this!

And continues like this.

Thank you to Mickey and

Pioneer Woman! 

It turned out delicious

and pretty!

After breakfast,

we worked on an edible craft.


 

 

Acorns!

(doughnut holes topped with chocolate frosting

and sprinkles and a pretzel stem)

After a fun movie 'Ice Age',

we had a quick game of

cheez-it scrabble!

 The evening by the fire.

 A little cranberry salsa.

A little love.

 A little silly.

A little reading.

And a delicious dinner!
