Looking back through old pictures of this house makes me realize two things:   One being, this house was so sad when we first bought it.   The energy that the entire structure exuded was that of depression, disease, and desperation.  The air was heavy. (Not to mention, stinky.  ????) And second…. we’ve sure done […]

Whew…. FINALLY, the dining room reveal.  Yay! I started talking about the dining room 100 years ago but then Project Backyard and Project Pergola kind of took center stage.  Here in Indiana, we only have so many months to enjoy the weather outside.  We are finally to the point on the pergola to be able […]

Wow… Life has been a little chaotic over the last several weeks. ???? If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you have had lots of updates regarding the surgery I had on my shin.  You’ve probably heard more than you bargained for when you signed up to follow me.  ????

OK… I’m not as mad at the pergola, or at life in general, as I was the on the last couple of posts. I had temporarily lost my will to live. ???? A few days ago, I swear it felt like it was 150 degrees outside, even with our new big shade trees that we bought.  I, […]

OK…so here’s the story.  I completely glossed right over and forgot my last Five on Friday post, because we’ve been working non-stop on this DANG pergola.  And best yet, it appears as though we are getting nothing done.  ????

Seriously, you guys.  I’m dying!  ???? If there was an emoji of a 150 year old rickety woman in a bed all wrapped up in bandages and in traction, I would certainly use that one.  We started our pergola yesterday.  You are probably just as excited as we are for the pure fact I’ve been […]

O.M.G. You guys, I’m dying.  We are STILL working on Project Backyard.  Just to refresh your memory, we rented a bobcat with a jack hammer attachment last week to bust up what was previously a basketball court in our backyard.  Half of the basketball court was all whopper jawed and the other half was in pretty […]

I thought I would jump on here and let you all know what we’ve been up to over the last several days, besides being exhausted and having broken backs.   I told you about our new trees we are having delivered and planted next week sometime.  Yay! This Weekend’s Shenanigans I’ve talked many times about […]
