Counting down the final month....

Here's a peek at the pregnant Juliane. The countdown is on.

Grandma's gettin ready

The baby quilt is stitched and ready to send to Bolivia with aunt Crystal. I used photo shop to disguise the blanket so it's more of a surprise. We're getting eager for our new little granddaughter's arrival! Due date is August 15.

Red at Night...

This summer we've been having incredible sunsets. Here's proof.


Justin, these are for you.

New Look in the Garage

You know how one project leads to another? Well.....we decided to repaint the garage after Justin did such a good job on the exterior doors. Crystal and I choose a light brown color that reminds us of chocolate milk. Have a look at the new garage.

Springfield Antique Extravaganza!

Ingredients for a fun-filled day of shopping=three ladies, one Toyota pick-up, a beautiful summer Saturday and a trip to Springfield, Ohio. Sheryl Kooker, Crystal, and I left at 6 am, traveled in to Springfield, shopped from 8:30 am- 4:00 pm, loaded up our finds and then hopped back in the truck to return home. We stopped in Columbus for supper at Applebees then parked our loaded vehicle (the Beverly Hillbillies) in the parking lot of Sofa Express while we went inside to take a peek. Our trip home went quickly and soon we were unloading our goods. What a fun and satisfying day. A little sun-burned, a little less money in our wallet and lots of good memories! Any takers for next year?

This was Crystal's first trip to the Extravaganza.
You never know what you will find at a flea market!

Thanks, Bruce, for the use of the truck!
