Countertops, Cabinets, and a Door
We have made some more progress on our Guest house. First, let me tell you about the countertop. I am so excited about how it turned out. I actually like the “look” of tile better than the granite countertops in my kitchen. I think the tile goes perfectly with the “cottage” look. Here’s the picture of before. Here’s the after!…

“I think his tractor’s sexy…”

Play Ball!
The baseball season officially started this weekend, and I was loving it. The weather was beautiful…mid 70’s. I wanted to share a few pictures of the boys. Jonathan pitched his first game (just a couple of innings). He did pretty good, but was a little nervous. Plus, he had a cold. I was proud of him anyway! He played shortstop…
