Kyle graduated in July from Air Force basic training, and is now in San Angelo Texas. Mark and I were able to stop and visit them in their new abode while driving cross country.

This Iguana was over 5 feet long. They say they are pretty harmless, but I'll just stay clear of them. Can I say UGLY!!!!! these are not native to Puerto Rico, like so many things someone brought them as pets from another country, just what I want stowed in my carry on. A cute cuddly Iguana!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618969205266664025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149431158529033155.post-84364262626816001982011-05-31T06:14:00.000-07:002011-05-31T15:15:23.398-07:00Creating Wonderful Memories<span style="color:#ff0000;">WARNING: If you get bored silly looking at the family vacation album, this blog is NOT for you.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz9c14I3y-M2yWkcS0F32cCii4kM9_jtNQ6-vleQlDDInAy2sadXKPtjxqIZpCvmOF5MFmtU_ksx2M7qrjXJ8DDC-YEYw180i15BbptrFaV-cIhxBkuteXD2k_xWH2b6BRMc5-_C7EVYM/s1600/P5280001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612888662995138514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz9c14I3y-M2yWkcS0F32cCii4kM9_jtNQ6-vleQlDDInAy2sadXKPtjxqIZpCvmOF5MFmtU_ksx2M7qrjXJ8DDC-YEYw180i15BbptrFaV-cIhxBkuteXD2k_xWH2b6BRMc5-_C7EVYM/s400/P5280001.JPG" /></a> Since Marlow had a three day week-end, we decided we needed to get out and do some exploring. What I really need is a map of Puerto Rico, but with limited skills that isn't going to happen. We drove to Cabo Rojo, which is the Southwest corner of the island. There is a lighthouse on the point down there that we wanted to see. Just before the lighthouse we stopped at this observation station. We found out that they harvest sea salt here, and this summer will mark the 500th year of doing that.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqcX5-h-iZTV0IdmMGrPFBfvW5eXGcr3yP3vpz8gXgdcxjUzHnCqRKB0gk5T3nNq20WLiIf1HIOxZ5MFYk_KE_ubHeaq43GDJxY3_20WAE_NEsWfQYRAKfWe-AALr_mAo1juE_oNDVaI/s1600/P5280030.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612887256553511490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqcX5-h-iZTV0IdmMGrPFBfvW5eXGcr3yP3vpz8gXgdcxjUzHnCqRKB0gk5T3nNq20WLiIf1HIOxZ5MFYk_KE_ubHeaq43GDJxY3_20WAE_NEsWfQYRAKfWe-AALr_mAo1juE_oNDVaI/s400/P5280030.JPG" /></a> This is the Cabo Rojo lighthouse.

It reminded me of a baja roadway, and was better suited to a dune buggy than a car. One spot was a giant mud pit, glad we didn't disappear into the bottom. This is the walkway up to the lighthouse, at least there were rocks here, the road was just dirt, and lots of holes strategically placed so there was no way to avoid them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhatKDAmKg82ZGL5kd7gl_NKMTp5YOKovo99s24rWwUbofXr40NMbGR-JsxmhIBRTzlhH9zuETfdW0we92wfoxSB7AGgDEUJqXbFtXBjuHQ68B5UeWBrgK84mcEM2UgmX5FDxQjSr3h6MI/s1600/P5280041.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612885751909295906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhatKDAmKg82ZGL5kd7gl_NKMTp5YOKovo99s24rWwUbofXr40NMbGR-JsxmhIBRTzlhH9zuETfdW0we92wfoxSB7AGgDEUJqXbFtXBjuHQ68B5UeWBrgK84mcEM2UgmX5FDxQjSr3h6MI/s400/P5280041.JPG" /></a><br />I was most intrigued by the spiral stairway up to the observation deck.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuxaII-Vrddlc6abqf9XqJ3y6kRBWLWxvzqsCqWBa45GupVRPN9aGKMY-KjfbXRxhvhUQyTdh-HwwDoqEqo8FDdjaHGWie15cpGotx9N5fqkUZhEThL58j5Uq7P9WQtpWTFowGi1NXkVE/s1600/P5280043.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612885004786918258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuxaII-Vrddlc6abqf9XqJ3y6kRBWLWxvzqsCqWBa45GupVRPN9aGKMY-KjfbXRxhvhUQyTdh-HwwDoqEqo8FDdjaHGWie15cpGotx9N5fqkUZhEThL58j5Uq7P9WQtpWTFowGi1NXkVE/s400/P5280043.JPG" /></a> Once out on the deck you see the beautiful La Playuela beach. The ranger told us it was voted 3rd most beautiful secluded beach in the world. It is truly breath taking. I didn't put pictures of the stunning cliffs all around the lighthouse, so much to see.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIkSbxUmKeqGSnJe9wt76iTN_e7D93aU6BuKUiFsjcX7UvDi3OebyvXpBmBdDtf5CofRe4rJhnxjAkWxY8vMp6szsvfVQHWNgFfQYnejPSillk3y-XtSho-gu4d18xzSgfyY9xuesWhx4/s1600/P5280052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612884089111680962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIkSbxUmKeqGSnJe9wt76iTN_e7D93aU6BuKUiFsjcX7UvDi3OebyvXpBmBdDtf5CofRe4rJhnxjAkWxY8vMp6szsvfVQHWNgFfQYnejPSillk3y-XtSho-gu4d18xzSgfyY9xuesWhx4/s400/P5280052.JPG" /></a> What is ironic about this beach, is the body of water you see right behind it is bracish, and stinky, you wouldn't want to be swimming in it!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">So, here is the question of the day: </span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ff6600;">When you go on a week-end get away, is every detail</span> </span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;">planned out, or do you like to fly by the seat of your pants????<br /><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">After we left the beach we wandered to the place we reserved to stay in. WELL, although the internet site let us register for a room, there was no room in the inn. They had a studio room they would let us stay in which reminded me of where you put someone you don't like very well. But as Marlow said, at least it's a room.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">Then, we realized the AC wasn't working, and I decided I didn't want to stay. The place was really nice about helping us find a room, but with it being a holiday week-end every place was full. They finally found a room in La Parguera, yeeee hawww!!!!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">It actually worked out pretty nice since we wanted to see the bioluminescent bay. The bay is something you see at night. A boat takes you about 20 minutes. There are micro-organisms that grow in this particular bay that glow when there is movement. A diver entered the water and you could see his movements as the water glows. We had a perfect night, no moon very dark, it was really neat. The boat ride was relaxing, and it was a nice little hamlet to stay in.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">The next morning we had to wait for the store to open up to check out of our room, so we drove around, and found a beautiful seaside park.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6iPchAfNfWQTBb9wyFIHinwTzAce0KRV64uRj8HWQCBeZ0SCarhobEggZdPG8ZTdHWHzStHOLAXqPWFtTDo6XmHKZbh1jkbfZv9c7e3Lpb4mmJrXzH8nAnmVDs2jRT1C4XAtnm4-ubw/s1600/P5290103.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612882865026441474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO6iPchAfNfWQTBb9wyFIHinwTzAce0KRV64uRj8HWQCBeZ0SCarhobEggZdPG8ZTdHWHzStHOLAXqPWFtTDo6XmHKZbh1jkbfZv9c7e3Lpb4mmJrXzH8nAnmVDs2jRT1C4XAtnm4-ubw/s400/P5290103.JPG" /></a> The trees grow right on the waterline, and the roots help save the beach from erosion<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWrZYgGzxmeIOsdERAVZD_3N3x13G4QRdEWMb9NdlVU36aUSAtXi03I0PzixtnpIcbZzAvxKnWE1Lcg16L92u6YLhS3V5-3Eq4fA2Rny7Imetu8_-RQuRLuZEGn0EKx6MDV9wWjAEePMo/s1600/P5290109.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612881854019058706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWrZYgGzxmeIOsdERAVZD_3N3x13G4QRdEWMb9NdlVU36aUSAtXi03I0PzixtnpIcbZzAvxKnWE1Lcg16L92u6YLhS3V5-3Eq4fA2Rny7Imetu8_-RQuRLuZEGn0EKx6MDV9wWjAEePMo/s400/P5290109.JPG" /></a> We saw all kinds of animal life, a lot of crabs not only in the water, but also in the soft beach. We saw several hermit crabs in the shallow water. I hope you can see the arms in the picture below. The shell was probably 3-4 inches. You could see where they had been.

As we strolled the square they had a train trolley that took you on a tour. I thought it looked fun, and it proved a high-light of the day. The ticket cost us $2.00 per person, and I think the tour lasted 45 minutes. Gave us lots of information, and took us past many important parts of the city.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1C0P5DrG5QvMDcRzuTYhWx7eIhvRgsAXXBjEX3Sg0ND8GRxqrr8hyi9KKqMUZzIaPDTEHstLJvp6Eo93KKQVUAA_anhLSo4nh3G-Fk4hNfrVXXoqT8F3JpJKshEwo12zRzocO4fP8F4/s1600/P5290359.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612870289296185026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH1C0P5DrG5QvMDcRzuTYhWx7eIhvRgsAXXBjEX3Sg0ND8GRxqrr8hyi9KKqMUZzIaPDTEHstLJvp6Eo93KKQVUAA_anhLSo4nh3G-Fk4hNfrVXXoqT8F3JpJKshEwo12zRzocO4fP8F4/s400/P5290359.JPG" /></a> There was a big fire in Ponce January 25, 1899.

It is good road most of the way, but right in the middle there is a 10 mile stretch that is not for the faint of heart. Narrow, curvy road that hugs the side of the mountain.

Mark hits the ripe old age of 21. We mormons have an odd tradition of sending our young men out into the world to "preach and teach" and so they normally celebrate their 20th, and 21st birthdays away from family.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbDTzZbcNXARGxP6_U0lWqP3HskOlzdcNGTWOWCmV4vjT_5xqWlngBgYNnqU9uROWm70XdaiKssoxU0RGWO-jyV2LG9hVZxkegThE8fXZenYrydfrkK8XS7e8JBNTfzoUJ8J80Lq5Mvw/s1600/P2280051.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584298672118596482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbDTzZbcNXARGxP6_U0lWqP3HskOlzdcNGTWOWCmV4vjT_5xqWlngBgYNnqU9uROWm70XdaiKssoxU0RGWO-jyV2LG9hVZxkegThE8fXZenYrydfrkK8XS7e8JBNTfzoUJ8J80Lq5Mvw/s400/P2280051.JPG" /></a>Mark definitely adds spice to our lives. I have been reminded of things Mark has done as I have read Rachel and Megan's facebook accounts of their boys. It isn't always easy raising enthusiastic children. Sometimes you just have to hang on, and hope your grip is strong enough to keep your head above water. I cannot even begin to tell all the tales of Mark. Nor would he want me to tell them. Mark was attending BYU-I when he received his mission call. We decided that he would benefit by attending the temple close by in Rexburg. So we flew him home to Alabama one week-end so we could go through the temple with him. After we got home he made this token fire to burn some items that would no longer be needed. Silly boy, but this is so reflective of Mark.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSPU58qLB3k9N5JcAo4abTIzARG7ZBn2cU7kopPrP8a8Q5u0ypniNMis08EG7yxOvJVChFZtCTxlEi7TWDW9fa_YgG-uwvVp7f7NCt2shm40xHR0dSS_mKIBR85vPnrFzp2n-vB6_7zA/s1600/PC250142.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584298043480374146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSPU58qLB3k9N5JcAo4abTIzARG7ZBn2cU7kopPrP8a8Q5u0ypniNMis08EG7yxOvJVChFZtCTxlEi7TWDW9fa_YgG-uwvVp7f7NCt2shm40xHR0dSS_mKIBR85vPnrFzp2n-vB6_7zA/s400/PC250142.JPG" /></a> Mark was so anxious to leave on his mission. The only thing he regretted was not seeing Josh return from his mission before he left, they over lapped by a couple of months. This is our Christmas call from Josh.

We sing songs about serving missions, we talk of their service, we save for that big day. I remember so well as Kyle prepared to leave. I started wondering, have I taught him all he will need to serve? I started to worry, and became anxious. Although he was doing the very thing I knew to be right, I had doubts and fears. And then he was set apart as a missionary by our Stake President. I will never forget the peace that filled my soul. I knew that my son was in our Heavenly Fathers care, and the areas that he might be inadequate would be covered. </div><div> </div><div>I am so thankful for the choice my sons have made to serve a mission.

WELL, high surf warnings, and cold overcast skies kept us out of the water most of their visit. On the last day we braved the elements, and went swimming.

Jennie wanted to see what the Sam's club was like here in Puerto Rico. I had told her that it is right on the coast, and is in such a beautiful setting, almost seems a shame to waste such a beautiful view on a warehouse store. WELL... Sam's is about 40 minutes away, and we are tootling along, we reach Hatillo, and there are a lot of cars parked on the side of the road, and then we see a LOT of police in full riot gear, and crazy decked out vehicles, and ....I remember a shop keeper in Isabela telling me not to go to San Juan on the 28th because of some festival in Hatillo. OOPS!!!! Well, we make it through, and I call to tell Marlow about all the craziness. He calls back just a few minutes later, we had just gotten to Sam's, and tells me it probably isn't safe for us to be there. Come to find out, the patron saint they are celebrating is sorta like april fools day for children, except the children keep getting older and older. We noticed a lot of cars covered in either shaving cream or whipped cream, and I guess that is why the high police presence, to try to keep control of a volitile situation.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrXmnD5bNxqJiVhpoveAMgoqBeD89UmC5YWTjxOMRxQcI5Sg8B2Xr6zM5cDDvXRS6ICdhkOvHMTIpIg_b2bRDQnEuGpZ1qmVxkM2GGVu3wspES7MxZOK50hfNg_DyUeADPOrKHOSh420I/s1600/PC290223.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568330042479481330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrXmnD5bNxqJiVhpoveAMgoqBeD89UmC5YWTjxOMRxQcI5Sg8B2Xr6zM5cDDvXRS6ICdhkOvHMTIpIg_b2bRDQnEuGpZ1qmVxkM2GGVu3wspES7MxZOK50hfNg_DyUeADPOrKHOSh420I/s400/PC290223.JPG" /></a> I love the pathway by the train tunnel.

You know what they say about the best of plans???? A huge storm in the Northeast dashed all my careful planning. Not that I am complaining. I'm grateful that since Josh had to get stranded it was in our home, not some airport. But, our little car is wondering what we did to it. I am amazed that we were able to get that much luggage to fit. I was going to stay home when Marlow took the kiddos to the airport, but Jennie would have none of that. Sooooo we set off the 5 of us in our little Kia Rio. We had a wonderful time seeing El Morro, Jennie & Jon are in front of the entrance to the wonderful old fort. It is an amazing structure to wander around in.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dfrDBQQano5c_u-aa6zRLH2CN0gzVl9FA2QCkdW1cWXR4DGPeF6y4KID6f4QdQxw27ZCw04uV0rs7Ip9YyC_8RPtBy2yzumW_Op97i2AmkU0ButBuzpuBxC-Disd-aJC9IhQPawuRbo/s1600/PC300305.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568328922291194034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dfrDBQQano5c_u-aa6zRLH2CN0gzVl9FA2QCkdW1cWXR4DGPeF6y4KID6f4QdQxw27ZCw04uV0rs7Ip9YyC_8RPtBy2yzumW_Op97i2AmkU0ButBuzpuBxC-Disd-aJC9IhQPawuRbo/s400/PC300305.JPG" /></a> I think it is like over 500 years old, I'll have to ask my walking encyclopedia about that next time I see him.

While I was out in Idaho I had a filling fall out. I thought about having it taken care of while there, but found out my insurance will only cover work done here in Puerto Rico, and since there was no pain, I decided to wait.<br /><br />I went to a dentist last Friday, which is another story I will have to tell sometime, and found out that I would need a crown, and a ROOT CANAL. Yikes. To say this was not good news is an understatement. I had a root canal done about 9 months ago in Huntsville. I was so nervous, and wound up, but I was able to get laughing gas at the root doctor (sorry, I can't remember the correct name)<br /><br />Any who, Dra. Diaz (it is Dra. because the dentist is a woman) referred me to the <strong>one</strong> specialist in Aguadilla. Marlow made the appointment for Dec 21, we wanted to get it in this year to use the dental deductable this year, and the crown will go on next years deductable. Josh arrived this morning, but my last root canal took less than an hour so I didn't think it would cut into our day too badly. My appointment was at 10 am, and were pleasantly surprised that the waiting room was not filled. We filled out the paperwork, and I was pleased that we shouldn't have a long wait. As 11 came and went I was beginning to wonder if there was anyone in the office. I had heard a drill, but no evidence of anyone other than the receptionist that had us fill out forms.<br /><br />It was probably about 11:30 when I was asked to come to the back. They didn't want Marlow to come with me, but after he asked if she spoke English, he too was escorted in. The work area was open, reminded me of the orthodontist that Kyle went to where all the exam chairs were lined up in one big open area. I'm used to more private areas at our Dentist office. The office was clean and the equipment seemed pretty modern compared to the first dentist I saw. The assistant talked with Marlow, took a few xrays, and then we once again played the waiting game. <br /><br />As far as I can tell they work on one patient at a time, until they are completely done, paper work and all. Even after the first patient was gone the dentist just wandered around doing who knows what. He finally came to me maybe about 12:10. He was about ready to numb me when I asked if he had laughing gas, at which point he gave me quite a lecture. He basically told me no, and if I wasn't brave enough to do it, the only alternative was put me out with an IV, and that would take a very long time. So.....I put on my big girl panties and dealt with it.<br /><br />I was given plenty of time to go numb, the Dr returns, and I'm geared up to be brave. He sits down, and then says, "Are you in a hurry? I have a couple of really important phone calls I need to make, and I need a cup of coffee before I start." 40 minutes later he comes back to start. I then find out that he is only going to do 1 root today, and schedule another appoint to do the other root..... NO WAY!!!!!!<br /><br />We tell him that we'd like it all done in one visit, and he says if I do okay with one he'll do both. I think after seeing me whine about the gas he figures I can't endure a long session. Anyway, he starts a little after 1, and I think he finishes about 2:30. But then it took forever to get paperwork done, and the xrays ready to go back to my dentist that has to do the crown. We didn't head home til 3. FIVE hours at the dentist. I felt so bad that Marlow missed so much work, I had no idea what an ordeal it would be.Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618969205266664025noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149431158529033155.post-82243676897946184122010-11-01T11:13:00.001-07:002010-11-01T11:40:27.835-07:00Trunk or Treat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e1eG0TUdhXzl5DrWlRPs2B66vh6gg0eSEfcXs-ZBYjxaxPoY8uZIonZMKzNfNv2tOQSMqeVxZpXvf01XgmUgNszdDN7xhusBAdromUZj3SZKyKKaGKxBAJ5yGhD172mkF6-8SGDYxEg/s1600/PA300006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534648868307337346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e1eG0TUdhXzl5DrWlRPs2B66vh6gg0eSEfcXs-ZBYjxaxPoY8uZIonZMKzNfNv2tOQSMqeVxZpXvf01XgmUgNszdDN7xhusBAdromUZj3SZKyKKaGKxBAJ5yGhD172mkF6-8SGDYxEg/s400/PA300006.JPG" /></a> The Branch President asked me to plan a branch halloween party. I normally love planning parties, but this one put me way out of my comfort zone. The first obstacle was not having my stuff. The second obstacle was not being able to find stores to buy stuff I know is out there. The third obstacle is cultural, not knowing what they normally do, and what they will like.<br /><br />I planned an art table, thinking the kids would enjoy doing a project. I was pleasantly surprised by the adults making name tags. Thanks Marlow for being the first.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihGog5iZiWXT-LKRJ9tni6dQ_lnwYewTT2qCmEMSZBq7Z496vqGkZ4aSA0zjIg8CCaHgNE40XXRj2XyPMX5ucQtISk6q64AaZmCuDRPDsHMJFLEPrEkrM3cQI5kevj5bn4xVIAHsNZqNs/s1600/PA300005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534648639770039314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihGog5iZiWXT-LKRJ9tni6dQ_lnwYewTT2qCmEMSZBq7Z496vqGkZ4aSA0zjIg8CCaHgNE40XXRj2XyPMX5ucQtISk6q64AaZmCuDRPDsHMJFLEPrEkrM3cQI5kevj5bn4xVIAHsNZqNs/s400/PA300005.JPG" /></a> Brother Torres liked our fishing pond.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_K7ZtvnyfkpDRhkRt3dQEhrRvVCcKO1opzpA_DIU7kH5GjkmoRqUXN-z4mnYiWTjZOnjrGXRlv8DlHkjuNnZWdvNeZeNGqLl_OSALjgWnXa41ifgOrp0nj-tPqDwxaFWWrkPfMICv5x8/s1600/PA300007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534648367914652882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_K7ZtvnyfkpDRhkRt3dQEhrRvVCcKO1opzpA_DIU7kH5GjkmoRqUXN-z4mnYiWTjZOnjrGXRlv8DlHkjuNnZWdvNeZeNGqLl_OSALjgWnXa41ifgOrp0nj-tPqDwxaFWWrkPfMICv5x8/s400/PA300007.JPG" /></a> Not too many children came, so they fished to their little hearts content.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG-Q92Cpc8JaOQ5VEJH2xWQub1rS6SiIoUavl7ueLTyBdMK0M8aXt81vUfr7vyTRyoWomeXcZWOMcsUcZNZtdouJO91ciqgH2BJ6Z7t8tiK6TG-NROWZx_zQIvRHKBIBtJ79pXFO-1TKA/s1600/PA300013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534648074412007090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG-Q92Cpc8JaOQ5VEJH2xWQub1rS6SiIoUavl7ueLTyBdMK0M8aXt81vUfr7vyTRyoWomeXcZWOMcsUcZNZtdouJO91ciqgH2BJ6Z7t8tiK6TG-NROWZx_zQIvRHKBIBtJ79pXFO-1TKA/s400/PA300013.JPG" /></a> I have no idea what they thought of this game.

We pulled into this restaraunt parking lot which was located behind the building down a little hill. We were busy chatting as we strolled up towards the door. There was a gentleman working on a car that we thought greeted us, but not sure what he said, then he started chuckling. That made us all look towards him, it was then that we all noticed what he was chuckling at. Not 5 feet from us was this creature. We were oblivious to him!!!!!! I don't know what these things do, but I do know that they are just plain UGLY and menacing looking. The sight of him made us move a little faster, so I apologize that I didn't get a pictue of ALL of him. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">As we stood staring in unbelief at him, another one came running towards him at </div><div align="center">which point we took off UP the hill. When we came back to our car, I was a </div><div align="center">bit nervous that something would come at us from underneath the car. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Once safely within our car, we noticed the field next to our car. It had been about knee high grass, and was in the process of being mowed. There were these critters all over the place. I think they must live in the tall grass. I don't think they were too happy about being disturbed.<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHX0iatNzG-4rcpQOIHPwMmj2p04_plviWOdFtsCariSYqpKJa1k4RVGoC_ps-ydR6dYPWNG0fli9ZxySM0c-JE8ptV1eazjYkUCbOYOa27jUoZCzvVNctgKM2pSR8qS8bpMhML5ilVPg/s1600/PA250104.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532799913955315474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHX0iatNzG-4rcpQOIHPwMmj2p04_plviWOdFtsCariSYqpKJa1k4RVGoC_ps-ydR6dYPWNG0fli9ZxySM0c-JE8ptV1eazjYkUCbOYOa27jUoZCzvVNctgKM2pSR8qS8bpMhML5ilVPg/s400/PA250104.JPG" /></a> </div>Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618969205266664025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149431158529033155.post-65663227004229943532010-10-26T15:10:00.000-07:002010-10-26T15:32:06.268-07:00So Long Farewell....<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHjlht05KMYFlZ6zOkru_VJDQ7xF-8Pmomeha__7goiEGUJVYC9O-05KTrvzP0OW4QqTj8LlJDzKDH5cj6AaHxMnXkzatNNY3aGdSNWw-hU6REYE4mN0hqpMDQlr4XwnjLCB1AJagYLBQ/s1600/PA250012.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532484063109150274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHjlht05KMYFlZ6zOkru_VJDQ7xF-8Pmomeha__7goiEGUJVYC9O-05KTrvzP0OW4QqTj8LlJDzKDH5cj6AaHxMnXkzatNNY3aGdSNWw-hU6REYE4mN0hqpMDQlr4XwnjLCB1AJagYLBQ/s400/PA250012.JPG" /></a>Sad to say that my sisters are on their way home.

I thought I was going to have to start a new blog, for some reason it changed my email, and wouldn't accept my password. Glad it let me on today.<br /><br />Just wanted to let ya'll know we arrived, and are settling into a new normal. I took a picture of Marlow on his first day working for a new company. It felt like the first day of school, new clothes, new book, blah blah, hence the "school picture"<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsbwNXlYom_irVA8YeDQqKII2BxxImF1cBWH-8CzIyAaeVG5N3p-gDmk1EfTYg93N0Smpb0F3T4m1PqMgf-nKfp0TWuIjIHpb67UQ-skDoEqi0rDPML6yiFcy4LnIUfZRw9vfHkWstzoo/s1600/P8300210.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515590876699992418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsbwNXlYom_irVA8YeDQqKII2BxxImF1cBWH-8CzIyAaeVG5N3p-gDmk1EfTYg93N0Smpb0F3T4m1PqMgf-nKfp0TWuIjIHpb67UQ-skDoEqi0rDPML6yiFcy4LnIUfZRw9vfHkWstzoo/s400/P8300210.JPG" /></a> We landed in San Juan on a Friday afternoon, and then drove cross island to Aguadilla. We were able to get the keys to our new home on Saturday morning, and quickly un-packed, and started settling in. I was totally amazed how much "stuff" we brought with us, and am now nervous to receive our household shipment. I am mentally going over what I shipped and trying to figure out where I will be able to put it. The house is adequate, but small with little room to stash stuff. I will have to be creative and utilize every hiding place I can think of. But, I am getting ahead of myself since who knows when we will see our "stuff"' again.</div><div> </div><div>The picture above was taken Monday, as we awaited the arrival of hurricane Earl. We lost power Monday afternoon, and it didn't come back on til Wednesday night as we layed on our bed dreading the thought of another hot night tossing and turning in the heat. So grateful for air conditioners.</div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi57-laN6g39IRYlbPBXERFuboM_nykGiYVU1vOkNTfP9k0E6tqcf4EyHbxHMGVxW7F1COvnj-sc6gpUWNjVazS5hAzbuhMh-qvDJ2Al_TX7Gi6AQUq1TW40cGjn9l-RAqFtgYi2ue4AyY/s1600/P8310217.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515590533775484162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi57-laN6g39IRYlbPBXERFuboM_nykGiYVU1vOkNTfP9k0E6tqcf4EyHbxHMGVxW7F1COvnj-sc6gpUWNjVazS5hAzbuhMh-qvDJ2Al_TX7Gi6AQUq1TW40cGjn9l-RAqFtgYi2ue4AyY/s400/P8310217.JPG" /></a> When Jennie and I came down to look for housing, I was concerned that this building across from our house had a banner announcing to the world that it was a Sports Bar. I specifically asked about it, not wanting the noise of all night parties. I was assured it hadn't been an active establishment for years, stupid me, I believed him. Well, I digress, I was tickled to see these dogs walking ON the roof. They bark at the cars going by, it is rather hilarious.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcmmkJht5N7dppX8uPglR_aWgyUPBATZTtekibUmWCSFtUo5V0tS0ryk9r5aUl8qAei_fL2S-SomVhVITc9LkeFIzkRODTp7KGHoRIfGuDpYKnSEXRZm60I9Ot3fsuF2c-wn5pIn7ko3s/s1600/P9010225.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515590136430453042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcmmkJht5N7dppX8uPglR_aWgyUPBATZTtekibUmWCSFtUo5V0tS0ryk9r5aUl8qAei_fL2S-SomVhVITc9LkeFIzkRODTp7KGHoRIfGuDpYKnSEXRZm60I9Ot3fsuF2c-wn5pIn7ko3s/s400/P9010225.JPG" /></a> The natives have welcomed us, and I didn't mind the gecko on the outside of my screen, but have since seen a few scurring around inside my house.

I had envisioned a much bigger lighthouse, kinda like the still small voice, small, but gets the job done. There was a nice beach next to this lighthouse filled with surfers. It was fun to watch them catch waves. I was amazed that they didn't run into each other. When I think of surfers, I envision the HUGE waves in Hawaii, so these waves look puny. But after watching the surfers, I could tell that the waves were challenging, and fun.<br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618969205266664025noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149431158529033155.post-23452525307948026262010-08-18T05:48:00.000-07:002010-08-18T06:26:14.815-07:00Hyrum and house update<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7UKOnYHdBLXvKD3uwjL6ftfg-iMELwivZohK4pV14lPA3sY-VRGM3fzg2XWu3i2vJDRS2BYc2nlLeotOexFF4oIN2z6z6fFfYdQdJYWPhRQ8ecepwWvyO3L1YV_2Z0DKZOcFt0aRWG_I/s1600/P8150076.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506733630922023202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7UKOnYHdBLXvKD3uwjL6ftfg-iMELwivZohK4pV14lPA3sY-VRGM3fzg2XWu3i2vJDRS2BYc2nlLeotOexFF4oIN2z6z6fFfYdQdJYWPhRQ8ecepwWvyO3L1YV_2Z0DKZOcFt0aRWG_I/s400/P8150076.JPG" /></a> It's hard to believe that Hyrum is already a week old.

We stripped the wallpaper, and updated the fixtures. Josh pulled off the first round of paper, didn't even have to use the steamer, years of moisture had already softened the glue. Jennie came over on her days off, and cleaned up the wall, plastered, and got the walls ready to paint. She even took out the old medicine cabinent and light fixture.

Since Marlow is otherwise occupied til the middle of August, and we need to be down there the end of August, it was causing great stress.<br /><br />One day I was wondering if Marlow had to go????? He consulted the company and he does not, so Jennie was able to get a few days off from work, and so Jennie and I are off to Puerto Rico.<br /><br />It is a horrible flight schedule, but we wanted to fly into Aguadilla, not San Juan. We leave from Huntsville about 1, fly to Charlotte, NC. Then we go on to Newark, and then fly to Aguadilla arriving at 12:30 am. Yuck yuck!!!!! At least doing that I can go with Jen. There is NO way I would try driving from San Juan.<br /><br />I have been working with a real estate agent in Isabela, and hopefully we can find what we need in the price range we would like to keep it. We have talked to several church members there, and I will give them a call for their suggestions. I think we might be shown the high end stuff, and I would like to know options. The branch members have been SO wonderful and helpful. That is one aspect of moving that is awesome, a ready made family. Brother Luis even offered to come pick us up at the airport if the rental car place was closed that late. Very touching. I talked to the RS pres, and she has a spare room she wanted us to stay in.<br /><br />Jennie hopes that we find something the first day so we can veg on the beach the rest of the week. I put her in charge of where to eat, and what to do. She has been combing the internet for listings in that area. It will be fun to spend time with her. I tasked her with keeping me focused as we see the differant places.<br /><br />I'll let ya'll know what we find.Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618969205266664025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149431158529033155.post-28140401379361911982010-06-22T04:03:00.001-07:002010-06-22T04:29:49.780-07:00Quilt update<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcsuYa5BBCuP9xIzFOS5vh9Csngez7Acspz6TPLgP-NoZQm9Aozu4d4YnGlTS-2xhMvEUSNtfl8KpGFQzCU5dZzmi6ibtZBt9vn8se75izN5I1ZR3C3jbejOcu3r40SSCwnqqorWhKTcM/s1600/P6220054.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485554236598890226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcsuYa5BBCuP9xIzFOS5vh9Csngez7Acspz6TPLgP-NoZQm9Aozu4d4YnGlTS-2xhMvEUSNtfl8KpGFQzCU5dZzmi6ibtZBt9vn8se75izN5I1ZR3C3jbejOcu3r40SSCwnqqorWhKTcM/s400/P6220054.JPG" /></a> I wanted to document the differant steps in making this particular quilt. It is put together in a very differant way because of all the differant elements in the quilt. It has taken a LONG time to piece all the differant elements, but now that is done, it will go together very quickly.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKkAsEPc7GUecOpLfBZ4vFz2EQ2dclQBaBEYMgOm6r4XdO180GfMx7nC5J4vAtjOBMhaxkHbJySVrb2VUbGfmhUwM4URArOH67mkNwgwXQsFt_mvO5y2j3CRuWQh7eLY7aZgmJXHAK-Y/s1600/P6220053.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFl7HKciwNanI3H9Kb6d3Kx6j9x5p7YczPsKvW7YhHBdDdqsWBsSiljBVIBWqD0yNfDukXZ4_MjmvBtYRM-z5ytbh03qokDREk216xP8-qHILHgIZsfrivEsxA5dVap9YLyXf9-60rZDI/s1600/P6220057.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485553743038229634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFl7HKciwNanI3H9Kb6d3Kx6j9x5p7YczPsKvW7YhHBdDdqsWBsSiljBVIBWqD0yNfDukXZ4_MjmvBtYRM-z5ytbh03qokDREk216xP8-qHILHgIZsfrivEsxA5dVap9YLyXf9-60rZDI/s400/P6220057.JPG" /></a> I wanted to show some of the individual details in the quilt. There is a total of 16 of these stars. They are extremely difficult to put together. Stopping at the 1/4" spot so you can turn and inset the next piece. It is a pain in the sewing sitter.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkEDOPnV6H-nUrh0-dkTdJvg6_JCUIfIjkbg20cEe5dBHpSDFAotq8yUdQVzc3Z5ofPKh5pIMkL8w65f9nE5WJ6AH19GSYDSFrkNslZKHAFTxcWf6gGXSREj2_24LXjDItTXAM13hU1uo/s1600/P6220058.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485553551607650770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkEDOPnV6H-nUrh0-dkTdJvg6_JCUIfIjkbg20cEe5dBHpSDFAotq8yUdQVzc3Z5ofPKh5pIMkL8w65f9nE5WJ6AH19GSYDSFrkNslZKHAFTxcWf6gGXSREj2_24LXjDItTXAM13hU1uo/s400/P6220058.JPG" /></a> The middle star works up rather quickly although it is very complicated.

So we compromised, and it is a very organized use of multiple yellows.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTl2-MNsuZG1y1MYeq92_TdwXliKY9gQrdfA7bn1WCvW1iwwsZXyK2mocjY6KGVU_OuvojKm6jBaABfGAjFHzgaj68oPS81LqX-I3vu3uJyJzMxisLb5GXbJhiJf3dAnSqdWzH4QhUIgk/s1600/P6220074.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485552365484252098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTl2-MNsuZG1y1MYeq92_TdwXliKY9gQrdfA7bn1WCvW1iwwsZXyK2mocjY6KGVU_OuvojKm6jBaABfGAjFHzgaj68oPS81LqX-I3vu3uJyJzMxisLb5GXbJhiJf3dAnSqdWzH4QhUIgk/s400/P6220074.JPG" /></a><br />I love the polka dot yellow.

Marlow will begin work the end of August. We are both excited and terrified at the prospect of relocating. We have a LOT to do between now and the end of August.<br /><br />We will be putting our home up for sale, and downsizing. I plan on selling a lot of our furniture, and giving some to our kids. We will rent a furnished apartment the first year, so don't really need to move that much down.<br /><br />I am trying to gain a great positive attitude, and not become totally overwhelmed by all that needs to be done. I know that with God's help we will accomplish more than we think possible. I remember when we were getting ready to move from Pennsylvania. Our home was literally over 100 years old. We had worked on it while living there for 5 1/2 years, but much remained to do. I remember wondering who would ever want to buy a house like this. We met with the real estate lady, signed all the papers, but arranged not to start showing the house for a week or so. I had just moved my sewing school back home, and the whole house was in a state of up<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">heaval</span>. Well, Ella (the real estate lady) showed up at our door the next day!!! Someone came in to look at houses, and she felt ours would be a good fit. Truly a blessing. I am counting on many miracles.Kayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618969205266664025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149431158529033155.post-9111572136941283562010-06-13T18:56:00.000-07:002010-06-13T19:16:59.964-07:00Saturday Stuff<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV_DChpQ_XgNbDyzvXX8pi_J5YVY2Obs_AxcByWpEAIr0lt6rCSRWGbFp5gW12iVZZbCKyxMgbcAZIGr4RmBu9rDeuQ0NdEg72D42ah6Bd9DsEtAUZskzEvoJw8gkWaZE2ZpvgweYkUcY/s1600/P6110038.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482444043945265346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV_DChpQ_XgNbDyzvXX8pi_J5YVY2Obs_AxcByWpEAIr0lt6rCSRWGbFp5gW12iVZZbCKyxMgbcAZIGr4RmBu9rDeuQ0NdEg72D42ah6Bd9DsEtAUZskzEvoJw8gkWaZE2ZpvgweYkUcY/s400/P6110038.JPG" /></a> I know that we are completely crazy, but... we have wanted to remodel our kitchen for a long time. Despite our current state, we are pressing forward. If we move, the kitchen needed to be updated to sell. If we stay, the kitchen needs to be updated for us. A couple of Saturday's ago we tore the wall out that separated the kitchen and dining room. Friday and Saturday was demo of the floor. The dining room had a beautiful oak hardwood floor under very disgusting carpet. We were sad when we pulled the carpet to see the floor in such good shape, we should have pulled it years ago. You just never know what condition the floor will be in.<br /><br />We are saving the wood, when we have the wood floors re-finished in the rest of the house, they will be able to use this wood to patch the damaged parts in the other rooms.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIDiv2zte2CKjMRgu9D8PSwk2h8w90U1Xr4AanLlClvLoj9s6Ph26EPgd_37ja2UvJnUlFdzOH8QP-UK_HWelxfDUeOfrjx_eDaHhW7AjIRTwN2z0GEdT_8-C-vHOmQcSeyowSy6JBavQ/s1600/P6110041.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482443889735436498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIDiv2zte2CKjMRgu9D8PSwk2h8w90U1Xr4AanLlClvLoj9s6Ph26EPgd_37ja2UvJnUlFdzOH8QP-UK_HWelxfDUeOfrjx_eDaHhW7AjIRTwN2z0GEdT_8-C-vHOmQcSeyowSy6JBavQ/s400/P6110041.JPG" /></a> We were surprised how much sand was under the oak floor.

We are planning on putting tile down for the new floor. We'll get all the new backer board and cement board down, and then pull the lower cabinets.</div><div> </div><div>While Marlow was tearing the floor up, I mowed the lawn, and worked outside. The heat and humidity about did me in, so I moved on to an in-door project.<br /></div><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUmW4YiC4Y_mH4fwWCBNF450V_rqTXMvulq5A_76UAUdgXlf9f0z2Tz_ipUOtvVVsrHGVJOdAFtpYXEYC-aKeMX0Dv1Mq-QdpvG5U88JE7eKl7jH3kB24bMBbSdMUSychwPLCSR9pHHQc/s1600/P6130057.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482442885313099250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUmW4YiC4Y_mH4fwWCBNF450V_rqTXMvulq5A_76UAUdgXlf9f0z2Tz_ipUOtvVVsrHGVJOdAFtpYXEYC-aKeMX0Dv1Mq-QdpvG5U88JE7eKl7jH3kB24bMBbSdMUSychwPLCSR9pHHQc/s400/P6130057.JPG" /></a> This is the center of Jennie's wedding quilt. It might get done by her 3 year anniversary. I have all the piecing done, been working on it for several years. Hopefully I can get it put together in the next month.
