We have a hole!!!! There's no turning back now! And believe it or not... the door actually fit, and was level on the first attempt at putting it in!!!!!! We were shocked! Things don't usually turn out that way for us!





After years of talking about it, we are finally in the process of replacing the kitchen/dining room room window with French doors! I am sooooo excited! Now we will be able to walk right out to the pool and not have to walk through the disaster zone (garage!)

New Fountain!


Well, after we "stole" most of the stone from the fountain to use on the front path, we needed a new fountain - so here it is!

Always doing something to the house...


We decided that a path leading up to the front door would be nice... so we used the stones from the fountain in the back yard and relocated them to the front to make our new path!
A couple months ago we pulled out all the trees and other plants in the front (on the left side) and put in sod, added a palm and some adirondak chairs to help with a beach cottage feel to the front of the house. Oh yeah, we (okay, Jim!) made new shutters for the front of the house and I painted the front door to match - yes, they are yell0w! What do you think?! I love it! Much better than how it looked before!
