January Blues

No posts last week because both Mike and I got worse before we got better. Mike is back to work this week and I am finally on the mend too. The weekend was unusual in that I had no voice. I think maybe Steve liked it because I was very quiet. We did get to a Walleye Hockey game with our friends Ed and Hilary and although the Walleye lost it was great to see the new arena. The seats were fine in our opinion and according to Ed and Hilary much better than the benches with numbers on them in some stadiums. The local buzz is that the seats are too small and too close together.

We have a little snow this morning and it looks like January in Ohio. Steve will take to the ski slopes in Northern Michigan this weekend with the RCO group so I will have some down time. I have plans to see a chick flick and get some cleaning done. We are at 22 days and counting for Hawaii now. Better start doing some golf stretches to get ready.

Some pictures from the last weeks.


Pretty centerpiece from the RCO Winter party





Dining room with paint and wall paper waiting for the crown molding


Finally pulling the plug on the outdoor Christmas lights :(

Loved the pictures - the color in the dining room is fabulous! Glad you are feeling better. If you haven't seen the movie It's Complicated - I strongly recommend it - laugh-out-loud fun!!!!
My best to you all - I'll be doing the count down with you - (do you want to borrow our coconut top and grass skirt for a luau)?!!

So glad to hear the Stanfords are on the mend! Hawaii sounds like the best thing to be thinking about during the end of January and the beginning of February. The dining room is stunning-what a rich color. Enjoy the countdown into sunshine, Hawaii here you come...
