A title inspired by my sister, a blog inspired by my blessings.

A mom, sister, daughter, wife, stepmom, friend, teacher, but most importantly, I am an amazingly blessed child of God.

The "Before"

It was spring, so this photo was taken from the angle that highlights the deck and beautiful back yard. Just to the left is the cabana and pool. Can't wait for summer!

The kitchen is not finished. The 8-track player and 45rpm record player (part of the intercom system) are still intact, if you are in need--hey, I wonder about the Smithsonian. Gary wants to keep them :-) Our real delay is another good set of arms to haul tile around while I install the kitchen, utility room, and Matt's bathroom floor. Those aren't large areas, but my back is aging faster than the rest of me.

We spent this weekend trimming trees and installing plantation blinds. Spring is springing and the back yard is calling me and I just can't wait!

Once we get this house done, it will be wonderful. We may be too old to appreciate it, but it will be wonderful.
Julie wants comments. Gary isn't paying her enough to make this worth her while.
