Fill It Up!

Due to a death in my sister-in-law's family, she and my brother can't stay for a visit all week as planned.  So, we filled this day up with activities together before they fly out at dawn tomorrow(Tues morn). 

When they came to pick me up, they wanted a tour with the workermen-my brother,

drew around Bill so they could custom cut out the sheetrock!  [Bill had to stay home and help with the project :'(    ]

On the way, we saw many orchards like this-cracking and groaning due to the cold temperatures.

We visited the Harley Complex-my brother's fav place to shop.  Had an icecream, even tho the temp was still too cold out for FL visitors and then to Daytona for lunch and-

a visit to the beach-

just a glimpse really because it was too cold to linger!

We found walls when we got home!  Family room.......

guestroom.........

master bedroom....

master bath and closet........

hall........

old window opening/ now a display nook.......

The cats love running through the new rooms after the men left-they are too noisy for the cats!



It is still cold this afternoon, even though the thermometer read 52, there is still ice in any standing water!
We ended our time together with a great dinner at our parents', enjoyed a few games of Spinners (a domino game), lot's of laughter and great conversation.

  5. Sorry about the death in your SIL's family.

    Huge progress on the house!!! Awesome! The sheetrock phase is so satisfying (well, as long as you're not doing the work yourself!)

    I can't believe there's so much cold weather in the east. Ice in Florida....just not right!
