We had a busy weekend here at the cottage…..
Typically, DIY guy and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day.
However…..that said, this year I had saved up a bit of cash and bought him something useful…
Yes, I bought DIY guy a kitchen appliance….a Belgium Waffle Maker
Because…..he loves waffles.
Waffles at home …. our dinner on Saturday Feb. 14th.
and they were AMAZING!!
While we were in the Taj-ma-garage painting…
a package was delivered…
for ME!
An early (and the first) birthday present!
This recycled “smashed” bottle was a gift
from Sandy & Bob…..my sister & brother-in-law.
THANKS!!!
Today was more painting in the garage…and I did a little decorative painting of my own.
I got around to painting the inside of my antique cupboard — now you can actually see the items in it….and now I need to actually arrange the stuff in there….that’s a job for tomorrow.
Then, in true Cheri fashion….as long as I had the painting gear out….I painted the formica “window sill” in the kitchen….first a coat of sticky primer — then the dark brown-greenish color.
I love it….makes a ton of difference. Someday, there will be new countertops…and who knows what will be in that corner….but for now…this is perfect.
Yes –
A candlelight dinner
tonight
then some dancing —
practice.
because….well, we can!
Benefits of the empty nest!!!
Saturday night we watched “Fireproof” together. Good movie…a little hokey in the beginning…but the overall theme was excellent. A great reminder to couples at all stages & ages.
Off to watch some Grey’s Anatomy!
