Bathroom Reveal

Why is it that "bathroom reveal" sounds so inappropriate? Eww! Nevertheless, I will now reveal our new bathroom to you. Here is the old one.

TSFB Dream House

And here's the new one!

Yeah, that one light bulb is out.  That's just how we roll around here.  I would tell you the story behind that, but it's probably boring.

This is my favorite.

Did I mention that we had a champagne toast in the bathroom when it was finally finished?

DSCF0492

We totally did.

Canine Destruction

We used to have a kind of nice garden. Then we got two dogs. Nice garden:

We felt it was about time to reclaim the garden. Here's what it looks like now:

Oh, and remember this?

DSCF0088

Yeah, well, Harry Potter chewed through one of our bougainvilleas. Sigh. Now we have this:

We also did the front yard.

And we made the dogs watch. So they'd know they are bad.

Just look at all the mulch we used that day!

DSCF0451

The car was so full of mulch that Norman and I had to share the front seat on the way home from the Nursery.  P.S. He's way to big for that to work out.

Texas Safari

On our Couples' Retreat, we encountered lots of animal friends. I met these guys the first night we got there.

Then the next morning, this was the view out our window.

DSCF0405

So we went out to be sociable. Eddy met this friend.

He also made friends with this dude.

Don't worry about me. I also got to pet horses.

The ranch also had birds

and bunnies.

DSCF0425

Even Dr. Scott made some friends.

DSCF0367

The most amazing thing we saw, though, was a cougar. The ranch owner goes out ever evening and puts a raw chicken up on a post.

Then we wait.


Cougar pride! (as we say at the University of Houston)

Couples Retreat

For Valentines Day this year, Eddy and I hit the road with Captain Duvet.

DSCF0349

We ended up in rural Texas.

DSCF0390

Where we stayed at the loveliest little cabin.

DSCF0437

Which was magically filled with little love notes from Eddy.

DSCF0394

DSCF0379

And a sweet little old school kitchen.

DSCF0381

We did homemade puzzles at a local bar.

DSCF0351

DSCF0353

And we obeyed the wisdom of this sign.

DSCF0383

Especially when we visited Shiner.

DSCF0388

DSCF0385

DSCF0384

We also consumed probably the best BBQ ever in Lockhart.

DSCF0400

But mostly we just did lots and lots and lots of this.
