In early September, we traveled to the Finger Lakes for the first time. We used VRBO to find a vacation rental that would suit us. We chose to stay in a one bedroom cottage on Seneca Lake. For this trip, it was important to us to escape and relax and also to be able to have […]
Celebrating Year Two
Today marks my second blogging anniversary! Sometimes I can’t believe how fast time goes, and then sometimes I feel like I’ve been blogging forever. I feel that way when I think how far I’ve come since I wrote my first post. The fun part is to look back on it all. I enjoy having my […]
Organizing Puddy’s doggie supplies
I’m sure everyone is in the midst of holiday season prep and I am definitely in that mode too, but this little guy interrupted some of my plans today. If you follow on Facebook, you already saw these pictures. But, Puddy decided the popcorn and cranberry garland was pretty tasty and didn’t belong on our […]
Our New Sectional
Our new sectional finally arrived about two weeks ago. I did share a sneak peak on Facebook with Puddy making himself at home on the couch. But, I didn’t share the rest of the couch because it wasn’t exactly how we ordered it. Our pillows were on back order at first, so we got them about […]
Our Living Room
I’m discovering that Winter time poses an additional challenge for me, besides just trying to get through the short, dark cold days. The lack of daylight hours that I am home has proven difficult in trying to get photos for blogging. My photography needs all the help it can get, so when the sun was […]
Upholstered Headboard Update
When I previously shared our guest bedroom here, I mentioned that I was considering adding nailhead trim to the headboard. I purchased the trim weeks ago, but I finally found time to make the update to the headboard. I just moved the bed and laid the headboard on the floor right in the guest room. […]
Merry Christmas!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas!! Hope this finds you enjoying Christmas with your family and friends! Bob, Leslie and Puddy
Our Christmas House
Welcome to our Christmas House! I’ve shared some pieces of projects around our house recently, but this is the complete tour of our home at Christmastime with many pictures and few words. I just stuff several types of greenery in the urns and added a few faux berries, but I think the real highlight are […]
Frog City
We have an egress window in our basement, which is the required emergency exit. Its not very pretty to look at, but it provides natural light so we didn’t want to hide it. We tried to dress up the window by adding blinds and curtains, and even went as far as putting pebble stones in […]
Annual Tractor Ride
Each year on the first Sunday in October, our family has a day of tradition. It is the annual tractor ride in my parent’s town. Last year, it was so cold the organizers canceled the ride. But, that didn’t stop us…we made our own ride! This year, my Dad organized the whole ride. We started […]
