We have moved all the bedrooms around

I got my desk supplies from Container Store on Friday and Ben helped me put the whole thing together.  It was quiet the project, since I ended up doing it four times!!!!!  I'm very happy with it, even if I don't use it very much as I'm pretty much always at work!!!

I still have all my yoga supplies, but my yoga studio is now much smaller.  I may not need that for too much longer since I decided to go to my first in-person yoga class tomorrow

Maggie's old bedroom is now the guest bedroom.  Sam wanted to try putting the bed at an angle since there's plenty of room in there and it avoids the windows

We moved the old rocking chair up there, mainly to stop people sitting in it!!!!!

Maggie has so much room now!!!!

She seems very happy with her new room (as it's closer to the bathroom according to her!)  It's easier to keep it clean now we see it more often

We are finished (for now)

 

Garden in July

We don't have a lot of flowers right now, but the bees love these cone flowers and they smell beautiful

I bought this miniature hollyhock, hope it survives the winter

These Stokes asters are beautiful and the bees love them

I have a lot of these black eyed susans in the rain garden

Garden at the end of June

The pots that I planted earlier are doing so well.  they might be the best ones I have done

I almost killed this geranium early this Spring, apparently it thrives on abuse!!!!

My water hyacinths just started blooming, but there isn't much else blooming in the garden at the moment.  I definitely need to plant more annuals next year

Construction project #????? It's finished!!!!

All of a sudden, everything was finished!!!!  There were just a few things left to do and they got done one day after the next.  They brought the shower door yesterday.  I absolutely love it, so much better than a shower curtain.  Maggie is trying to get used to it.  I'm sure she loves the new bathroom

We had been waiting for the glass in these doors for ages, but it finally showed up

We put my Lowry Town Centre picture up on the blank kitchen wall

The refrigerator finally showed up, 10 weeks after we ordered it

After putting everything in the kitchen cabinets, I was surprised that we have more room than anticipated.  We still have plenty of storage room in the cabinet in the basement

And more room in the cabinet in the family room

The majority of our food is now in the back cupboard, I'll see if I can stand having it all there.  It might be less convenient if we have furniture in the family room!!!!!

Ben's trip to L.A.

Ben went to L.A. this past week to visit his half-sister who was adopted from Ukraine.  She is 10 months younger than him and was adopted with her sister about 10 years ago.  Ben found her when he did 23 and Me!!!!  They seemed to hit it off immediately and Ben had such a great time with her family

He stayed with her grandparents (in a house that used to be owned by Clark Gable)!!!!!

Construction project #????? Week 15

 A massive amount got done in Week 15.  Maggie's bathroom is done apart from the glass for the shower door.

We got a shower curtain as a temporary measure so that Maggie can use her own bathroom and not share ours any more

The half bathroom is just waiting for the mirror (being made by the shower door people)

I cannot say how much I love this kitchen.  It came out EXACTLY as I wanted it to.  It feels so much bigger and airy

Our new refrigerator will be delivered on June 23 (we hope)

Maggie's Lego project

I bought Maggie this baby Yoda Lego kit for her birthday.  She put the whole thing together in one day-over 1,000 pieces.
She is so good at spatial projects, it's really amazing
