Hiatus from the computer makes Michelle productive....

My lack of posting for these last few weeks can best be explained by the following photo ...
Horrible isn't it?! Give me a little motivation and some hand tools and I can destroy any room in your house too!

We live in an old house and the downstairs bathroom has always been one of those rooms that has needed a total redo, yet we have never wanted to take on the project so it has always remained neglected in it's ugly glory since we moved in. Then two weeks ago my parents and brother were coming over for a visit so we decided that we wanted to put a new faucet in the sink as the old one had started leaking. Well, one thing led to another, and I went into full demolition mode scrapping off wallpaper, pulling up vinyl flooring and tearing down ugly wall boards and cabinetry. Am I crazy? Perhaps. I will keep you posted on my progress!!

And as I am finally getting around to pulling pictures off of my camera, we had a nice visit with my family a few weekends ago. Mike planned a wonderful evening of wine and cheese tasting which was great fun. Mike is becoming a regular at a neat wine store in town and has become our house sommelier. Below is a sampling of our evening enjoyment - of course I didn't take any pictures of the actual bottles. Opps. The happy drinkers...Well, I have taken a long enough break and need to return to my demolition duties. Wish me luck!!
