Visiting Grammy--Oct. 20-23, 2006

All the pictures below were taken at our lunch after church at College Hill. We are at Anna and Tim's. Sorry about the one picture on its side. Although I rotated it in IPhoto, it wouldn't reproduce in the right position. Humph!













Aunt Nancy and Kathy with Grammy n the "new " dining room on the third floor. It is much smaller than the other one which is now used for residents in the nursing section.



Here's Aunt Nancy and Grammy.

Here is Jonathan performing at "Unplugged," an acoustical concert put on several times each year at his high school.




All of these pictures are pretty much what the renovation looks like now. It looks very white because it has all been painted by Steve with primer. We hope it will be more colorful before long.

Little bitty Update...

The saga continues...

The living are in the basement.








And...imagining the upperroom with a chair.

















































These pictures are from last week. The new thing is the window in the upstairs room. Perhaps we should name it "the upper room." That just came to me:).

The founder of the feast (i.e. renovation)

Dad's office...

the outhouse lends a refreshing scent. (Note: he is "our Jon" is he not...) better view... A warm scene, taken from the new entrance hall thing.
the "addish"...or are we building a townhouse right next to ours? hmm...

View from M&D's room into their addition: Another view...
The Smithsonian has requested we donate our oven and dishwasher to the American History museum:

The New Kitchen. Dining Room doors:

Meg admiring her new skylight (for Dad's office...):

Notice the old fridge...new dining room.

The View from the old Dining room...notice the chandelier!
Well, I am the updater now... Sadly, I had to COME HOME to update mom's blog. That is how much I care. You can see the changes. Pretty crazy and hard to believe that there was a deck where the new stuff is and that we actually lived in the equivalent of a one room hut until now. Eden: you are luckiest of all because it will be done when you come home for the first time and will never have to be here for the Stress! :) It will look good I know, but I have to remind myself that this is Mom and Dad's (and they are doing a good job), NOT mine! Anyway, here are the pics.
