BIRTHDAY PRESENT

Uncle Jerry gave me a dollar for every year I have been a live. That of course would be 55. I decided to buy a beautiful cast iron dutch oven made by lodge. We have already used it twice. It is very heavy and great to use. Thank Uncle Jerry.

The New Dining Room

The new dining room look. We havn't stained the table yet. The weather is a little to cold right now for that. I will probably put it off till the spring. I love the sleek look of new chairs and the smaller table.

My new chairs. I love my chairs.They go with look of the kitchen well.

Ben, you were concerned about the wall to the left. All the screws and tapeing that had to be done. Well.......

The finished wall. The new pocket heater. I was very proud of my finish work here. You can't tell that it had screws and dry wall tape or anything.

Working hard

Eric has worked very hard the last few weeks building shelves in the garage. The first set of shelves was for all of our camping gear and the second set was for our food storage. That one filled up fast. We will adding to that set of shelves next.

MEMORIES

We were looking at old pictures of our children this weekend and came across pictures of Ben bedroom in Pennsyvania. We had a Missionary friend of ours draw it and I painted it. It took awhile but it was fun. I thought you would enjoy the memory with us.
