Wood Bin

bethany

Awhile back Michael and I went and picked up some free pallet wood, looking for cheap building materials, and also some firewood.  The great thing about pallets is that they're made of hardwood, and in some cases it's lovely pieces of oak or walnut or cedar.  You never know what you're going to get, but man does it smell lovely when you get to cutting or burning it!

Medieval Birthday Party

Bobby (our current host!) turned 52 on March 22nd.  His wife Keren (Michael's sister) put on an epic medieval-themed birthday party and feast.  We were responsible for our own costumes (Keren did the boys' capes and Douglas's tunic) and for creating the throne and crown for Bobby, as well as decorating the dining room.

In the cold of January, we needed to tackle an indoor project, and as Keren had lost her kitchen-table project space to meals-for-six space once we arrived, we turned  the laundry room into a Sewing Room for her.  Wall board replaced pegboard, walls were painted, and sturdy old desktops were bought on Craigslist.  We made two work surfaces, one for sitting and sewing, the other for standing and working.

Backyard Cleanup

bethany

When we first got to Keren and Bobby's, they had only lived in the house a few months, and were still getting settled.  We pitched in on the backyard cleanup, tearing out an old fence, removing a big tree limb, and getting rid of the rusty basketball hoop.  Much fun was had by all!
