So what is it about Christmas and all the work I need to be doing that makes me want to blog? I think some would call it procrastination! But I'll call it the season to share. This will be a quiet Christmas, only the Jackson kids will be here on Christmas day. The St Louis family will be down the day before so we'll celebrate Christmas on the 24th. We had puppies at the house today so freakin cute. I'll show pictures. Merry Christmas to anyone out there reading this. Although I'm pretty sure this is for my eyes only.  

A joyous New Year to all

Yes we know  bigger rug and wall art.  Just playing now. Also I have a topper for the top of the curtains to bring them up to the crown molding.  

Kitchen with new backsplash and granite countertop. We were going to paint white, but now we're thinking let the next owners do that if they so desire. And sure we'll put the doors back on, what do you think we are? Savages?     What would you do, white or not?

So much time has passed by since I've written. We are still here.  The sons are still two in Missouri and two out of state.
We now are a two home owner. Hopefully not for too much longer.  We are busy fixing up both houses.  Mark is soooo busy. The house will be great when we are through and then we will put it on the market.  That is when we will really work on the new house.   I guess we are gluttons for punishment.

New House-   will have grass this spring!
