They are Here!

They are here!

Got the actual Reba McEntire tickets today.  Note:  RAIN or SHINE.  Let's hope it is shining 'cause general admissioin lawn seats in the RAIN will stink.

Snowboardin

Mom asked for a new picture so here it is:

This is Tyler Caruana and Will.  Tyler is Paul Caruana's son who is about 6 mos older than William.  Paul (and his ex-wife Julie) were the first friends we made after we moved to Astoria. I hosted Tyler's baby shower.  And here they are 16 years later at Mt Bachelor.  The boys were part of the teen bible retreat.  Great snow, they all had a great time in Sunriver.

Mom - Check out those pants!  This will probably be the last year they fit but they are great.

Soggy Paul Lee

Here is a phone picture of Paul after he took a bath yesterday.  It has been awhile since he has taken an immersion bath.  I just hope it was in clean water.  Paul sometimes feels the need to take baths in the dog bowl, in the soaking dishes in the sink and he eyes the toilet water - so we always close the lid afraid he will go in but not be able to come back out.

Snowing in Astoria

Well, you can't really make out the snow (look at the street light and you can kind of make out the flurry of snow) but it is snowing here tonight.  Probably won't stick.  Gave me an excuse to take a picture of Will - seen here clowning around.

My (Early) Christmas Present!

I have had paint chips on the walls in the dining room and the bathroom for at least a year now (even painted a swatch on the dining room wall but didn't like the color in the end).  Bill has taken the swatches and painted the dining room and is working on the bathroom today!  What a fantastic present.

The bay window wall is a gold color but from certain angles and with different lighting it looks like a soft chocolate.

And as an added bonus . . . .




Bill polished all of the silver!
