Here are some pictures of us in Florida. My grandma, Nana, is always such a delight to be around. She and I had some good talks, went to her exercise class together, and watched Law & Order SVU every night at 8:00. We all also ate A LOT of food.
Adam and I tried to get to the beach each morning---We made it most days. This is the incredible sight (and sound---the waves, the birds...) we had each time:


Before we left for our trip, I threw a bunch of tools on Monty's bed---and I've yet to clean them off so he can hang out with us in the office! He found a spot in the new living room, though----- ! This living room...I'm so happy. We still need to paint and do trim work, but here it is. I was nervous about exactly how the floor would look since we couldn't see the whole thing, only corners when we'd lift up the carpet--- Also, we had a window put in (the smaller one by the blue ball) because it was so dark in that corner....I can't believe what a difference it makes. It's all very exciting.


I have so many more pictures I could put up and stories I could tell---During our week in the Cities, Adam and I were fortunate to see many good friends; I don't even know where to begin recounting the visits! All I will say is that I feel very, very blessed to have all of you in my life. Thank you, everyone we saw, for being so generous with your time. We had a great week. --

Wow! Your living room looks spectacular! And your grandma does too. I can't believe that she is even smaller than you. Dang! You both look great! :)

Oh Laura - you're living room is going to gorgeous!!! Wow, what a transformation. And those floors are original??? If so, they make up for the headache of the wall!

Hugs!
