enough!!!!

time for me to see something besides ground beef when i log in!!!

here's my sister Val's kids, enjoying their family vacation... can't tell if michelle jumped early or late...

and here's the whole family, with clothes on this time...

... taken by a lady named "Ilene."

Burgers according to Sheri

Scoff at me all you want, but this worked rather well... not QUITE as slick as i thought, but still pretty good... especially for someone who doesn't know the difference between sour cream and cream cheese.

i rolled the ground beef out like pasty dough and used a tupperware as a cookie cutter.

and viola! 36 perfectly equal burger patties.

yeah me!

Midnight Spackle

i was determined to get this job done before Uncle Charlie and Aunt Adrea came to visit. my job was not very cooperative and i ended up spackling into the wee hours after scraping and sanding. the morning brought more sanding, then painting, re-installing the light, and re-hanging the mirror, then rushing to the airport to catch my plane. but i love my new light! darryel was kind enough to install it for me, and it was a much bigger pain than either of us anticipated, so kudos to superman for his help.

i don't have a 100% before picture on my home computer, but this is the old light fixture. BLUCK!

and the new one. Beautiful!

special thanks to mom & val for helping me justify the expenditure. :-)

BIG FAT BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Deployment sucks. Seems like we just welcomed Titus home yesterday, now another nephew of mine has deployed. Please keep Rick, Ashley and their beautiful kids Ben & Evey in your prayers.
