Here's what we've been up to lately....
...working on our "new" house. It's a new old house. We found out the original part of the house, now what's the front of the house, was built in 1921! There's been 2 additions since then, but I don't know when. This room is at the back of the house. 
We're going to use it as our "family room" or game room. The walls are now yellow, and the wall right behind David in this picture now has gold stripes which I had fun painting on. The house now has a total of 4 bedrooms (or for us, 3 bedrooms and a game room) and two bathrooms. It's actually pretty roomy. We're having a good time updating it and fixing it up, but it is a lot of work!

There's another door to the same decks from the utility room, which is off the kitchen.
I'll have a plum tree and huckleberry bushes and a grapevine, and a garden spot and good ground for plants. It's on 2 1/2 acres, yea! I'm looking forward to learning all about "country living." I'm still pretty clueless -- but learning more all the time.
Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day today. We started Bible School, and the first day went well. It's "Game Day Central!" After Bible School the kids and I went to Mom and Dad's for me to work on VBS stuff (with Mom's help) and we put together a good Memorial Day meal at the last minute: I brought potato salad, squash and zucchini, green salad, and a watermelon, and Dad grilled chicken breasts and hamburgers. It was very yummy. And we have some leftovers!
