A Few Summer Projects

This summer we've been blessed with some wonderful help from some wonderful children. When Mark and Laura were up here last, Mark redid the lighting in Dad's room. We made a trip to Home Depot and he and Laura helped pick out the best lights ever. Then he and Laura installed them all. They put in 3 all together; two where there were recessed lights and one over the bed. Dad's room took on a whole new life after that. When they were putting them up I was so excited that I forgot to get pictures of them working. THANK YOU MARK AND LAURA!!!

Since James and Elizabeth have been with us James has rebuilt our gate at the side of the house. Anyone who's been here in the last several years knows how badly we needed that done. After a couple of nasty wind storms this summer, James decided to tackle the project. He took the down the part of the gate that was left standing and then he brought some wood from Penny's over and made a new gate from scratch. Check out these pics.





He says that he still has some things to do on it, but ......... TAAA DAAAA drum roll
please...
And we're not done yet because he has also installed 2 roof racks in the garage. This has made a major difference in the appearance of the garage. We are actually able to get the car back in it now. THANKS JAMES!!!!

And bless Tessha's heart. She took pity on our wooden swing and gave it a new coat of white paint. It looks so pretty now with flowers behind it. THANKS TESSHA!!!
