This collection includes Teresa’s first day home from the hospital.
You better like Teresa pictures, because there are lots more coming…
After years and years of talking about it, I finally removed my carpet from my great room and finished the floor while I was on a vacation. It was a multi-day project that involved several days of just removing furniture and I’m still in the process of putting furniture back in, although some of the furniture has been downsized.
Here are some photos of the process:
I’d like to thank my amazing floor crew. In particular, Carla and Jesse that helped a ton. Carla came over at midnight to help put on the last coat of finish, which was pretty amazing. But also:
My Mom was also a big help by giving Naima and I a place to crash while the finish dried and the fumes were at their most toxic.
Now that this project is complete (almost), the painting of the house seems so much more doable. Plus, it will require a larger crew. Not that I’m trolling for volunteers…
Once again I guessed wrong on when to make my annual trip to Pella. Not only was next to nothing blooming, the lighting wasn’t ideal. However, I still think I put in some work.

My Mom and Teresa accompanied me on the trip this year.
Tomorrow (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) more from the Still Laughing – 2013 Series.
I have wanted to visit the Cordova Observation Tower ever since I’ve known that it existed. Recently I finally got the chance, but because I wasn’t expecting to go there, I didn’t bring the lens I wanted to use to photograph it. I made do.
The rest of the Observation Series:
The tower is 106 feet tall and climbing the steps is definitely a cardio workout. At least it is for me!
