Everyone Take a Turn

Katie has a toy dog that can swim.  It's neat and all as far as toys go.  One of the accessories is a pair of swim goggles, you know just to complete the look of a plastic dog floating around in water.  Seems boring huh?  Not around this house.

Well, it is her toy.

And well, he is the big brother.

And me...well...uh....I got nothing.

A LIttle Update

When we last saw the vanity it was a plain, unplumbed, yet still gorgeous piece of wood.  Well, after a several coats of stain and poly, some sanding, and visit from our friendly neighborhood plumber here it is:

Yep, it is even more spectacular.  We have it stocked and ready to use now.  Next step is to find a mirror to mount.  Updates to follow.

Birthday Gift

Papaw and GramT so generously gifted Mommy with a new bathroom vanity for her birthday.  The best part is that Papaw promised to make it himself.  I don't know who was more excited Mommy or Papaw.  After and all night planning session and a major search for just right wood, the project was underway.  Mommy and Daddy waited excitedly while Papaw worked.  In a very short time, the call came that it was ready to be delivered.  As usual, Papaw delivered so much more than was ever dreamed of.  After some trimming and straining it was placed in the bathroom.

This picture really doesn't do it justice.  It is made of reclaimed barn wood, completely hand-made, with love!
Now Mommy just has to find the perfect stain.  She is really nervous about messing up something that already looks great.

Oh and a shout out to GramT for all the great supervising she did throughout the project.

First Bounty

Thanks to Papa, we got a small garden patch tilled up.  We really haven't had a whole lot of time to devote to it, but we did find some plants on sale and got them in the ground.  We check on it every now and then.  Today was one of those check-ins, we were already outside and dirty from fixing the fence so that Buttercup can't get out, and I decided to go to the other side of the fence.  Well there were lots of weeds so I started pulling a few and there hidden up under the leaves were these 2 plump, red bites of yummy.  Guess I should finish pulling the weeds and see what else I can find!
