One Year Later

Last year, Christmas time.  We had just moved into my MIL's home.  Our sons were home and everyone was adjusting to this new life we'd appropriated.  My husband and I were so happy to have the boys here and we miss them now.  First born is second from the right.  He'll be home Thursday.  Second born is first on the right and he will not be home as he's begun a new job in Florida.  

The room below, once a very large living room, has been transformed into a kitchen/family room with new 12" pine board floors.  It's been a labor of love and we are busy dividing the old farm house into two living spaces.  With alot of compromise on both sides, we're making this work. 

The boys on a hike with the dogs.  This is our older dog, Zoe.  She's still full of piss and vinegar...mostly piss.

Theme Thursday Roof

Photo my husband took of the trusses and rafters comprising a new roof atop a building under construction. I like the lines, the contrast, the angles, the strong elements of this image. A roof has to be strong to protect all beneath it.

In case you think I know anything at all about roofs, I do not. However, there is a handy dandy site called Home Improvement Helper with a special section called RoofHelper that is full of information including: parts of a roof and roof types.

I learned something new after all. Thank you Theme Thursday.
