Christmas 2009

Finally Christmas is over. It seems to be such a stressful time. The day was spent fairly quiet. Jason was here, dinner (buffet style), presents, and movies. We received items for our motorcycles. We installed the belly pan on Jays bike today (the belly pan protects the underside of the bike/engine in case it were to rub on the ground). Directions said 10 mins...well it was more like 30 in 35 degree weather. Other items can wait to be installed when the weather warms alittle.


Until next time enjoy life...looking forward to a great new year...

The weekend before Christmas

The shopping is done, presents are wrapped (well almost), and time to play alittle.
Saturday & Sunday morn were spent again working in the basement It is coming along...





On Thursday Jay had found some tile on Craigslist for free, he called on it...and sent me to pick it up...150 sq. ft. that is a lot of tile, he wanted it for the bathroom floor, and it should work out just fine. But I don't think we need 150 sq. ft.







We were invited (and it was a surprise for this to happen )to my Moms house for dinner and gifts on Saturday afternoon. Actually went fairly well...It had been a few years since we had all been together for any holiday.

We saw the movie Avatar today, WOW ! special effects were awesome, story line with laughter and tears. With so much thought put into the details. Vibrant colors...this is one I am glad I saw.

And finally I am learning to put pictures into slide shows (avi). I have put a few of the vacation pics we took this last summer into a slide show...this is by no means all the pics we took during the 3 weeks we were gone....






Until next time....enjoy life, and have a very Merry Christmas

Wednesday Dec 16,2009

We have continued to work on the basement. We did take last weekend off for some shopping, rest, spending time with Jason. We had dinner here and watched a couple of movies. I think everyone had a good time.

Finally to the end of the sheetrock, what a mess that stuff is. All the measuring, cutting and screwing...seemed like it would never be done.



Now on to Christmas, just starting to decorate, putting up the Christmas stockings, no tree yet, but soon to come. It will just be a small tree this year. I have finished with my X-mas shopping, just some wrapping to do.

a few more pics of the basement....





Last wall to do....





Until next time....enjoy life....
