There's Something New About To Happen...
on this Western Horizon!

I am very excited and will spill the beans as soon as a few kinks are worked out!
Keep watching!

To Say That My Photography Skills Are Bad...


Would be an understatement. But when there is a new baby this cute how could I resist!

Meet new baby Libby! She is Ellen and Rob's new addition and she is adorable. I think she just didn't appreciate being woke up to change into this cocoon and hat for pictures. Honestly, who would? The things we make these new babies do!

A blurry pic of mom and baby. I think by this time Libby was more interested in Mom's groceries than anything!

And the proud (over the top) proud new Dad! Congratulations to both of you on a beautiful new baby girl! She is beyond precious!

Wishing all of my blogger friends a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

These Things Make Us Happy

Scored these great chippy old windows today. I see fabric collage in each of these panes. And they were cheap...can you hear me squealing?

Same sale...this makes The Peddler happy. Old school house lights. Still have the cloth wiring but that's a simple fix!

The Peddler's new man cave he built. Huge and has it's own heat source compliments of another yard sale. No excuse to come in out of the cold now. And, it is getting cold!

And little Jayce who looked like a little bird in this picture is now...

looking like this! One chunky happy camper and he lives less than 1/2 mile from us!

It really doesn't take much to make us happy!

Hope you are all happy too!

Lots accomplished today!

The POD is officially gone. No more elephant at our front door!

This is how the wood stove looked when we bought this house.

Check it out now! Much better

And this makes me smile. It's so close to being done!

About an hour later...wine glasses are hung and hardware is on doors and drawers!

We're getting there little by little. And I make The Peddler pinky swear...this is the last house!

Progress


To think that we started with this...

Went on to this.

And now we have this! I think this is my favorite kitchen of all the kitchens we have redone!

This...

is the beautiful sunset we were met with when we crossed in to California. I think it's saying welcome home!

This is what is burning in our living room tonight. I have missed having a fire so much.

I promise new pictures tomorrow. We are finally feeling like this is home. Still unpacking and trying to figure out how to go from a 3 bedroom, den, living room, and 2 bath, to a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, den and still keep what I can't bear to get rid of.

We are having some spectacular thunder and lightening storms. What I love about storms here is that we don't get the high winds and the dust storms. The power is out in town and one grocery store is open because they have a generator. And, it's quiet, oh so quiet.

More tomorrow!
