Get that man a Klondike Bar

I don't know how he keeps doing it but every time a special event comes up (anniversary, birthday, etc.) the hubby presents me with a wonderful gift. Typically it is something that months and months ago I commented on. Like yesterday's birthday present was a kit that's organized for all my beading supplies, includes a special tray, and a zippered pouch for handy-dandy tools that he also procured: various pliers, wire cutters, etc.


I think we were living at The Estate (over 6 months ago!) when I mentioned that I sure could use a tray for beading. Then *poof* 2 houses later, 3 time zones ago, and many miles after the fact he hands me the perfect gift that he purchased just the day before. How does he do it? It's like he knows me, or he's just a really good listener or both?!

He also prepared a luscious dinner of my choosing: lemon crepes. His lemon crepes are the best on the planet, one of my very favorite dishes he makes. Though it’s a tough call since everything he makes is wonderful. I’m one lucky gal to be married to not only my best friend, but such an incredible human being. He listens, he understands, he’s patient, thoughtful, considerate, “Polite,” loving, kind, caring, sensitive, witty, charming, funny, adorable, and so much more.

Thank you sweetie for being you and for being in my life! I love you!

Paint Please

As the pictures below show the new place is in desperate need of some paint! All the walls are completely covered in the same color white as all purpose white flour. If you’re a baker this is great. However, if you like variety these plain walls can be oppressive. Hopefully someday when we can afford paint the owner/landlord will give us the go ahead to add a little life to these dull walls.

I’ve not included pictures of the offices, guest bath rooms, the laundry room, or the eat-in kitchen area. The offices are still works in progress. The bathrooms and laundry room are rather boring since they’re all monotone white, so I’ve not included them here. The eat-in kitchen just looks silly since the room is huge and our table is tiny in the room.
