A late Valentine's post

What a lucky girl I am! Most people get flowers, (which I did, from Reed), or chocolate, (which I couldn't have because I'm on a diet), but I got something even better. I have the sweetest, bestest, husband ever!!
 I just had to show this cutest picture of two of
my grandkids. Tami was the only one to share
her Valentine pictures, so that's all I have!
 So here's Dad after he's torn out all the carpet in our master
bathroom after 32 years!! I know, GROSS! 
 We finally decided it was time!! Dad worked hard getting
all the tack strip off and all the staples out of the wood.
 We layed it out just to get a sneak peek of what is was
going to look like! 
 Then, surprise!! I got a 'singing Valentine' and flowers delivered to my door. I was embarrassed because I had just gotten out of the shower and had NO makeup on. But they were sweet and didn't seem to care as they sang to me. 
 While talking to Reed one day I told him that Dad wasn't getting me flowers, that instead I was getting new tile in my bathroom! He decided that I needed flowers too! They were beautiful and I have enjoyed them, thank you Reed!
 So the next step was putting down hardy-backer. This stuff is like putting down concert to make sure the floor doesn't move!
 Dad & I were going to lay the tile, we did do our utility
room, but with the curve of the tub, we decided to have
it laid professionally!
 So glad we did, those cuts were pretty tricky!
 The mess in our bedroom was well worth it!
My finished Valentine's gift!  Pretty awesome! I have ordered
some bathroom rugs as we are not used to the cold on our
feet!! This next week, we are replacing our 32 year old carpet in our bedroom. Moving out all our BIG furniture is going to be fun!
Thanks honey, I LOVE YOU!!

February is going fast!

We finally got around to hauling an oak table with 4 chairs to Sanders for Chad & Luann. Someone gave it to Dad and they needed a table at their little place in Sanders. Its been sitting on a trailer in our driveway for months, so it was time. It was also time we visited them and saw their place. They live in a nice little single wide trailer in the housing provided by the school district there in Sanders. 



 The top is a little rough, but not a bad table, it also has
another big leaf to extend it bigger.
 They've been eating off a card table, so they are happy with it!

 This is the really nice school where Luann is the librarian there. Chad works over at the elementary school where he helps the kids on the handicapped school bus. They live in Sanders during the week and come home to Snowflake on the weekends.


 I've been making 'Super hero' capes for my grandkids.




Bret's and Mark's kids are going to a 'Marvel' show in
March, so I thought it would be fun for them all to have
some capes and masks to wear!!
