New Building Project

Some of you know, we have been working on a Project around here.  You know how it is, you decide to go with the project, you get bids, approvals, permits etc...then the day comes to start the project....

And slowly it starts to take shape....

Until it is finally complete.....

Well complete except for some landscaping and filling it up!

Sunbathing and dogs

Every afternoon, a little bit of sun comes into the living room, and nothing is better than taking a nap in the sun....if only they both fit.....

 Well sitting in my lap is often thought to be better than napping in the sun....but if you can't make it into my lap, just put your feet on my lap and sit on the ottoman....yes Mobi is that tall that she could sit on the ottoman...and Stormy just cuddles up next to me...see her peaking out...

Friends

Not too long ago, my friend Kari and her Husband Matt came for a visit.  We talked and went to lunch.  So maybe not too exciting for the blog, but very exciting to me. I have known Kari since I was in the third grade, so it just doesn't get better. 

This was the first time they met Mobi, and Kari wanted to see her sitting in my lap.  She still manages to get in there....

Water.....

Sometimes with work we get to stay in really nice places, and this one is good, that is the beach right down there....this is the view off my balcony....looking east out to the ocean...this hotel is literally right on the beach...I wish I had a real camera for these photos but this is the best that my phone would do. 

 This is the view looking west from the balcony....

And this?  The look on the balcony...what a great place to work huh?  Too bad this is the only time I got to be outside at all....the rest of the day inside in a small meeting room :-(, but I could have sat here all day

After my meetings I did sit here and catch up on work and personal email....and just relaxed.  It was about 80 degrees here and 20 at home....

What is that White Stuff?

So we woke up today and saw this....Snow!   

We have been VERY dry here, and warm.  Some afternoons have been in the 60's around here.  So it is nice to see some winter.  This is just the start, we are in a blizzard warning and all the schools around are closed, so we are waiting to see how much we really get.
