There's been a lot going on around my house. Here's a few pictures of what we were up to in the last few days.
We have a large room in our basement that is used for storage. It's been collecting all sorts of things, so Bob and I started cleaning it out. All these shelves were filled when we started. We were brutal with ourselves on what we really needed to keep. Lots of stuff has been thrown, lots was donated to the charity store in town. We're not done in that room, but have accomplished a lot!
You may remember us working on a spare room in our basement, that had an egress window installed late last summer. Bob made a headboard for the bed, the room has been painted, new linens have arrived, and last week we finally got the new curtains and put them up. It feels good to have that done.
On Friday, I had lunch with these ladies I used to work with at the skilled nursing facility. 3 of them are nurses that I worked with frequently and it was very good to see them again!
When I came home, I did some work in the house, taking down the winter decor and putting out some Spring things. Tulips are always a spot of cheer!
Bob's been hard at work in his shop. He's building new kitchen cabinets for Heather and Andrew. They came over Friday night to check the progress. These are for phase one, the upper cabinets over their sink. Once they are installed, he'll start on the lower cabinets.
Here's Connor, looking cute even with a little scrape on his nose!
Last, but not least - it's starting to look like Spring! The snow is nearly melted and the sky was blue! It was still only 31 degrees, but the sun was shining. Beautiful! And this week we are supposed to reach the upper 50's!
God's given us lots of things to be thankful for.

Oh my, Conner is so cute. Does he have a red boo boo on his nose?
Wow, how talented Bob is. Love the headboard and those kitchen cabinets are nice as well. I hope you take a photo when they’re all done and installed.
Nice you’re still keeping up with your work friends.
We need to pick a couple of days to clean out our garage before the door is installed.
You sure do have a nice basement, and it is so orderly and neat. It feels good to clean things out - doesn't it?
And your husband made the headboard for the bed - I realize now he must be some kind of wood worker - the room looks nice.
And cabinets for your daughter - that is AWESOME.
And last but not least Conner - he has grown up so fast. So cute even with his booboo!
Hi Mari! I love what you have been doing in your basement. It looks so neat and organized. You inspire me to do much the same in our basement storage room. I also love what you have done in your basement bedroom. Looks great! Bob is so talented with woodworking. So glad you had some time with friends and family over the weekend. I hope the coming week is a good one for you!
