where does the time go?

ok... before we left for vacation, i wrote a painstakingly-long email with an update of the past week... but forgot to post it. after my relaxing getaway, i have no idea what i did, let alone remember what i wrote :) so here's a brief recap:

ended up painting the front of the house not once, not twice, but yes 3 times. damn home depot and their paint mixing skills, and damn the sunlight for changing our nice grey green to mint green. here's a pic of the final color [and yes, we still need to cut in the edges and paint the windows, etc.]:



once thats done, i'm going to plant all my spring bulbs, mulch, and get ready for winter. yikes!

as gary was going to be cat-sitting over the getaway, we invited him and ann over for a yummy dinner with good food and lots of beer.



good times were had by all, and it was fun to finally be able to entertain in the new kitchen.

thats pretty much all i can remember. time for the real post now.
