Peaches

What do you do with over-ripe peaches? On a cool summer morning?


Make peach cobbler!

Of course I didn't have enough peaches so...I threw in a nectarine and a few plums.

I just need to put the crumb topping on.

Then...YUM!

Bugs...the VW kind

Andrew Shenkman working on a Volkswagen Beetle amid other cars on the lot at Marty's VW & Audi Service in New Milford recently. 

Yellow One!



Silver one! With a really cool rocket coming out of the back of it!

Last summer when my family and my sister's family went on vacation, my sister and her daughters were doing the Punch Buggie game. But instead of punching they would just yell it out, including the color, of course.

D loved it and kept doing it when we got home.

Now I even do it without D in the car. It makes me think of him and (sometimes my sis and nieces) when I wouldn't ordinarily. I like it.

I did it when only A was in the car...he thought I was nuts.

I was having fun!

Next stage


The next stage is picking a color and painting.  That is our shower curtain that we found online. I think we will be using that color towards the bottom of the picture.

Then tiles...plumbing...and finally, electricity.

Then we get to have our bathroom back to ourselves!

New Everything

Not only do we have a new floor...We have new walls too. And for some strange reason, the floor is grey.


And the walls are green. (Even though the contractor says they are blue. I don't know...I think he's color blind.)

Yay! They are almost done! It will have taken almost 2 weeks...and the bathroom is still empty.

We are definitely waiting for fall before we do the 1/2 bath (which btw, needed the remodel more than this one). I want to have some sort of summer besides hanging around the house waiting for contractors to finish up.

Sharing

I like friends that share!

I can't wait for this to take root so I can plant it!


And this will be a new bush in the front flower bed...I think my "accountant-type" hubby will like it. I hope!

Thanks C!

What floor?

How's the bathroom remodeling going?


Umm...you tell me...
We weren't planning on pulling up the floor...BTW...there were 3 floors that needed to be pulled up. The top one wasn't too bad (only starting to rot from underneath). But the two underneath were totally rotted out.



What you are looking at (in the picture below) between the 2" x 4"s...is the ceiling of the downstairs (hallway...I think).




And this (below) is the part of the floor that cannot be ripped up (even though it really should be).


So...What do you think? How's the remodel going?

Flowers

It's been a really long time...


But I've been busy...


But here are some new pictures of our new flower-bed in our back yard...plus some other new flowers.
