My life. In a nutshell.
This Summer has flown by!
The end.
Just kidding.
After my quick trip to California, I’ve been doing physical therapy on my knee
a few times a week.
If I could stop re injuring it. It just might get better.
We painted her bathroom and did a mini makeover while I was there. There is zero natural light though… and as cute as it looked, none of the pictures turned out!
Thankfully, her flowers are outside.
These are my sister’s Hydrangeas.
(picture perfect beauties!)
Austin and Jim went to Yellowstone on a whirlwind “guy trip”. I leave them to it and let them have their boy bonding time.
They even took my nephew Nate this year.
They had a blast!!
We had company from NYC.
Jim’s dad and step mom came for a visit.
They guys went out crabbing and we had a big family dinner over at my sister in laws.
I did not take any pictures.
(We were busy eating)
I made over some tin cans.
le’ cheap&easy crafting
Jim, Austin and I have all intermittently worked on our fireplace. There have been a few design changes… but Jim is going to work on laying the hearth tiles tonight and it should be done very soon!
Austin turned 16.
I shared a little about that here.
He had a backyard, tent camping, sleep over party complete with tv and video games in the tent! They had a blast!! He really isn’t into stopping for pictures, so I left them alone.
Jim & I had our 20 year wedding anniversary.
(this is the only photo I have scanned into the computer… remember, this was twenty years ago!! lol)
We will be celebrating in January when we go to Oahu so we sort of glossed over making a big ta do over it. Otherwise, it turns into two celebrations. Which is fine… but we want the Hawaii trip to be the big deal!!
Had a giant 2 day garage sale.
(no photos)
We got to have more company!
My sister & her guy Brett came to visit us from Southern California.
We had such a good time!!!!
They wanted to stay longer and we would have loved it if they could… but, they had to go home.
Austin and I drove them up the the airport Wednesday and they are home safe now.
Day trip to Bandon By The Sea.
I’ll have some more pictures to share of our adventures while my sister & Brett were here soon. Brett is up for anything and so fun.
We were all over the coast!!

Sounds like you had a busy summer. I came over from Debbie’s tour of your home. Your home is lovely. I love how you have made over so much of your home. You really have done a great job. I really enjoyed the tour. I think I have the same big white rooster. Did you get him from Cracker Barrel?
I am going to have a look around while I am here and I will be following. Please come over to Savannah Granny and visit around.
Blessings,

Shannon,
It seems like your summer was packed full of people you love and places you visited! The older I get the faster the season goes. Remember when we were kids and the time between the last day of the school year til the first day of the next lasted f o r – e v a h h h? 🙂
I’ll be sure to pop over and see your home tour.
Your Friend,
Deborah
