Shopping Ads

Lexi takes after her mom! Laura has taught both of her daughters to be very thorough shoppers. Lexi has started very early in life. She is very fun to watch in a store because she will grab something off a rack and hold it up for a good look and always makes a comment! She does

LOVE to look at the newspaper ads and cataloges. Fortunately she is talking more clearly and we can understand more of what she has to say! :)

Dad's Poor Ear

This picture is way past due! For at least a year dad had been having a scab on his ear that would break open and bleed on his pillow at night as he slept. In January he visited our family doctor and he referred him to a specialist in IF. He was very good. Dad had a beta cell cancer that was very common and fairly easy to treat. The ear tissue regenerates nicely. It involved most of one day as the Dr. would peal off one layer of tissue at a time until he felt he had all of the cancer. It was then tested right there in their lab. Dad had go have tissue removed 3 times before the doctor decided he got all of the cancer. It did heal quickly -dad is all better!

Mantle

These pictures are to show Tammy Dad's new mantle and bookcase. The picture I got at the University bookstore. I had a gift certificate for my 20th Anniversary and used part of it on this picture. I really like it in this location. :)

More Painting

These pictures are from Dad's office and computer room. I still need to put the vinyl lettering up, but it's coming along.

Wonder of Wonders

Dad just about has my upper cabinets done. He still needs to put the end panels on and put some molding trim around. We did find some cute knobs to put on the doors. They weren't on yet when dad took these pictures. Sorry about the mess on the counter tops. Dad didn't bother to cleanup before he started his project. Brad came into my office that day and told me Dad had started working on my cabinets. He said dad set the saw up on the counter and was blowing sawdust all over the place. Saturday it took me a couple of hours to clean up what was left of the mess. I guess that's a small price to pay for new cabinets. :) With everything I want changed in my base cabinets we will need to totally redesign and tear out the bottom cabinets. I DON'T LOOK FORWARD TO THE MESS!! Dad always gets that funny look on his face when I say,

"do you think we could". I'm sure he is thinking "not another request"! The cabinets are made out of knotty alder and have winchester stain on them.
