Taking down the ceiling was the dirtiest part because of the dust from the insulation.
I could not have got this project started without Thom. He is always willing to help.

These are a couple of photos of me clearing snow off of our driveway. We had two good snow storms in a row. These were the first big snow falls in the last few years.

We are now in the middle of a bathroom renovation. My brother Thom and I did all of the demolition, taking out the wallboard, flooring, ceiling, vanity, etc. It was great fun.


















We created quite a mess to haul outside.

As you have seen before if you read this blog, we head out on the weekend after Thanksgiving every year to cut down our Christmas tree. Once again it was warmer out. No snow. We had a wonderful time with the Fries family as we do each year. 

Just before Christmas we finally got some snow. Abby made this great snowman near the end of the driveway. Like all snowmen if the weather gets warmer, he melted away. 

lack of posting doesn't mean I have stopped thinking....

Life is busy. I know we all feel it. We all have family, friends, jobs, bills and endless activity in our lives.

For me my life revolves around family, faith, and friends. My family keeps me busy. I am seemingly always either on my way to or from the dance studio. My faith keeps me busy with time spent at church, worshipping or volunteering. My friends keep me busy as we try to keep relationships fresh.

All of these things are well worth it. Each brings joy and purpose to life. At times it takes a lot of effort to keep it all in balance, but most of the time it is just fine.

Fantasy football helps.
