Wednesday Emil decided to try to do his garage. Here's what we're working with.
We need to be able to park one of the cars in the garage. With Emil M. driving it's getting very tough on our lawn to keep having to drive through it so we needed to buy some cabinets and clear out things.
He did have 3 large cabinets from the Coast Guard base and a particle board cube shelving thingy that he had built but it just wasn't cutting it so we got some new cabinets. We painted the floor and worked on that the entire time the Nor'easter was howling.
I thought that it might be fun to climb the rock wall with all the water around it. That way if you fell it would be a bit splashy!
Here's the view from the back door. We will be drying out for weeks! They're calling for rain this weekend too. Lucky we have the canoes! Of course I needed to bake Sticky Buns on Friday when I found out there was no school again. It was a strict case of food therapy I promise you. They were so good. I ate way too many. This was the pre-rise shot.
I had to take Kirstin back into the Dr. on Friday because she had Pink Eye. (Mono anyone? Oh Kirstin, you'll take a case of that? Sure, why not, you've had everything else!) She's been sick for about 2 weeks and I'm going crazy. Since she was contagious I wouldn't let her go to any friends houses and it was about to kill us both. I could not send her back to school fast enough this morning!
It wasn't all bad though and Emil and I really did make quite a dent in the garage. We still need to finish up a few things but it's looking quite a good bit better. I did tweak my back while working on the floor so I'm going to the chiropractor tonight for the first time. Hope it helps.
My Dad had to have surgery but he's on the mend. I'm so thankful that my sister was able to go be with my Mom for a little while. I have a great family. I couldn't ask for better.

what is it with the men and their garages?? Blades loves to make sure it's in order, although lots ends up out there and about once every three months he will be out there for hours rearranging and cleaning. I guess its the "mancave" Lot's of rain wow..
The revamp on the garage looks great. Tell Emil great job.. I love all the leftover colors you have in there. very clever.. I hope Kirsten is feeling better too. We have been lucky not to catch anything yet..Case had strep and croup but it was gone quickly. Yummy sticky buns.. i havent had breakfast yet...they look delicious. Happy Turkey Day!
Can Emil please come clean our garage? I'm afraid it really is a piggy garage! Since it is not attached to our house, we tend to throw everything we don't want in or around the house into the garage. It's pretty bad.
You really did get a lot of rain! Our yard really needed one last mow for the season but it never gets dry enough around here.
I finally got your message about Thanksgiving. We will be in TN visiting Matt's family. We will have to get together during our Christmas break. I'm sure I can carve some time out for a visit. I'll be in touch. Happy T day!
I guess the pink eye is going around b/c I just had it a couple weeks ago...it not very much fun ! Hope your doing well :)
Love, Anna
