Drapes Arrive

We finally received our drapes today. The process started in November, 2010 and was finalized on April 12, 2011. The following pictures do not show off the drapes too well. The flash did not always work, since it was sunny outside.

Overall we are very pleased with the results. We have shades in some windows, and drapes everywhere else. The rooms seem very cozy, now that they the drapes are hung.

Dave & Melissa Come to NC

David and Melissa came to Hendersonville during Melissa's Spring Break. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. We had a nice visit and look forward to going up to Lake Placid this summer to witness the Ironman tournament.

We have a real dining room! Come for dinner.

Winter Wonderland

Even though we do not like winter to last six months, we do enjoy the beauty of the season. Tonight it is snowing big flakes and I took some pictures of the house since we added some landscape lights several weeks ago. Happy New Year !!

Nice, but Not Wanted

We woke up this morning to eight inches of snow. At least the snow was dry, not the wet, heavy stuff that we normally get. We are sorry that we sold the snowblower. It took us five hours to clear the driveway; now our backs are sore! We were suppose to go to a BCS game party this evening, but the couple who are hosting the party decided to postpone the party for a few days. They are now calling the party "We're Finally Dug Out! Seems appropriate, hopefully the roads will be clear. They do not do a good job in snow removal, but we are thankful that the community does a much better job than the town of Hendersonville.

Thanksgiving

Just a few pictures to show what a great time we had Thanksgiving weekend. I'd like to thank Michelle and Andrew for helping to cook and find recipes.

First Snow

We woke up this morning to 3-4 inches of wet snow. The first snow is a week earlier than last year. We are hoping that this is the only snow we get! We saw the weather report for the Twin Cities -- Please keep the arctic cold up in that area. We kind of like having temps in the 50's.
