the living room

This is just some before/after shots of our living room. These shots cannot possibly show you how awful it was before, and all the sin we covered up. Still working on decorating :)

painting painting painting. That's all we did FOREVER.

the "before" walls. Reminiscent of a 1970s fishermen's cabin...

minus the mess, look at the walls! Soooo much better!!

old photos :)

These photos are all pretty old, from Thanksgiving weekend and the Homestead Fest. Forgive me for not being up on things, but I thought that you might like to see some of what we enjoyed that weekend, anyway... :)

this little place had amazing apple cider donuts!

Ron loved the windmill display! 

Learning how to make our own soft cheese.

Watching a chair being made.

Ron's haircut.

I did it. It turned out a bit short, and stuck up funny. It has since gotten better, and even turned out to give Ron a bit of attitude :) He loves it now!!

a bit of Christmas

We were fortunate enough to catch A Tuba Christmas this season. Needless to say, I was thrilled! And we think we may have seen a certain Justin Marslender there... can you spot him?

Christmas break. Ron loves his cider.

I'm a spoiled wife. The most thoughtful gift was the 8 or so containers of Carmex that Ron filled my stocking with. I'm always losing them, or asking him to help me find them... not any more!

Christmas dinner. uncooked. Ron just couldn't wait, he thought it was so pretty :)

Our first Christmas tree!

me in my country garb. Please ignore messy living room :)
