House pics #2

Here are a few more pics of my house

This is a close up of the drapes that were

EVERYWHERE in our house.  These are

actually still hanging in the basement.  For now.

I hope to have something else up soon...but

my list of replacements is quite long.

This is in the basement...looking into my scrapbook room.

It's far from where I want it to be, BUT.

I am so thankful to have somewhere to put it!!

This is the other HUGE room in our basement.

The game room.  Pool table, foose ball table, the boys

have set up their Wii.  This room I really like, it's fun.

Great spot for the boys and their friends to hang out.

Yes, the carpet is RED.  Actually...

I kind of like it!  Wouldn't want it everywhere,

but for a game room, it's great.

This is looking opposite of my scrapbook room.

A HUGE room that needs HELP.

Notice the hodge podge of things.

I am stalking Craig's List for a used Leather Sectional

for down here...once again a HUGE room and that means

BIG furniture.  There is a fireplace back and left of this picture.

Will be a great spot for football watching this Fall!

They are hopefully going to start on our master bath in the next few weeks.

I have everything but the faucets picked out.

I am very excited.

I want a shower.

Now.

Seriously.

Peace Out.

Wordless Wednesday

I'm counting...

"Counting what?"  You say.

Days.

"What Days?"  You say.

Days until Bluegrass begins.

"What is Bluegrass?"  You say.

Great times with family.  Camping.  Good food.

Good Music. Little Sleep.

It's decorating your campsite.

We are the Stumble Inn camp

It's wandering around our fairgrouds which happen to be

PACKED with campers, too many to count and listening to

great music.  Some are your favorites.  Some are new.

Some don't even need a tent.  They just like to walk along

and whenever they get the notion, they stop and play.

Some make their own decorations.  I think they

are recycling!

If you love music...not just bluegrass music.  This IS the place to be.  You will hear more

music in this town over the next month than you can shake a stick at!  I am happy to say that this

is going to be my 15th Bluegrass!  It's a biggie too.  Yep.  40 years in Winfield this year!

They are bringing a lot of good music...not that they don't always have it anyway. 

If you are ever given the opportunity to come.  Please take advantage of it. 

You won't be disappointed!

Tree Trimmin

Have I ever mentioned that my youngest son

can be dramatic?

Now you know.

Just look at his face.

We have a line of hedge trees on the east side of the driveway

When we moved in, they were a bit overgrown

So JB and the boys commenced to tree trimmin

Oh Look, CB has been scratched.

Yes, there were thorns on those hedge limbs.

But. Seriously.

Doesn't he look like he L*O*V*E*S his work?

{grin}

JB is doing the trimming, the boys were the picker-up-ers

Have you ever been the picker-up-er-er? 

I have.

Several pickup loads later....we had a nice

big brush pile

Note the nice green corn crop in the back.

Today.  It is burned up.  Nothing produced.

Nada. Zilcho. Zero.

It's a little hard to see, but look close...

This is the dirt line on CB's arm.

His wrist is the clean{er} part of the arm.

I have arrived

I'm back in business as far as internet goes...at my casa!!  Whoo Hoo!
Didn't really think I would miss it that much, but I feel like I've been glued to my 'puter since the installers  left!

#1 I am sooooo happy I bought a laptop.
#2 I now have wireless internet
#3 My bill is cheaper than when I lived in town
#4 Repeat all the above.
