The Final Season

This weekend we had a chance to see 'The Final Season' with Bri, Tate & friends. What a good movie!!!
Made me proud to be from Iowa. Of course, we got a few chuckles when they referred to Des Moines as the big city. I'm sure movie-goers in other cities will get QUITE a laugh out of that. But then, those are probably the people that think we all live in towns of 500 people and let cows roam our streets. (we don't.)
Anyway, other than some inconsistencies between corn height, it's a good movie! Check it out! http://www.finalseason.com

The right but hard decision

We had to make a hard decision in order to do the right thing. Mr. Sylvia and Lucky went to the ARL today. If you know of anyone looking for good pets, send them there. We tried to find new homes on our own and had no luck. We'll miss them terribly but I hope they get homes where they're happy. I can't talk anymore about it right now.

Better house pics!

Not everyone could place where the railing was in the house so here's a few more photos to explain!

Here's a photo that shows the small step down from hallway to sunroom:



Here you are viewing, from the back door, thru the hallway, past the stairs to the front door:



The rail replaces the long wall that had like 5 or 6 tall octagon-shaped cutouts. It seperates the hallway from the sunroom. We're quite pleased!

Progress at the house!

Hey all,

You've been listening to us whine since this house project started (which was what, like 16 years ago? it feels that way!) but GOOD NEWS! It's almost done! Finally!!! The rail is fully installed! They are finishing the caulking, installing the ceiling fan in that room and finishing the electrical outlets & floor vents today. This one-week project has only taken two months. yay! And hopefully soon the rail guy will bring the metal pieces we need to put lights up in the kitchen & bathroom (what? no more peeing or cooking in the dark!? weird.)

Check out the mid-destruction state our house has been in for the last few weeks.




Here's the rail and a close up of the AWESOME tile under the I-beams. The photos don't do it justice cuz it looks amazing, (we think anyway).





Oh yeah and here's a photo of me and the boys as well. We were beached on the only piece of furniture that's been useable the last few weeks.



Now, bring on the paint and tile-layers!!
