Florida in December

Well hubby and I took a trip to Ft Lauderdale area in FL.  Found some cheap airline tickets so we thought why not!  Went to a travel agent to help us find a place to stay as we never had been to the area.  Love the area for the ocean side!! No crowds...quiet...beautiful beach...nice resort Beachcomber...great no chain restaurants too!
Eating at non chain restaurants is always a must with us!  Some of the places we ate at...Stained Glass Pub, Gianna's, Frank's, Brother Tuckers and I don't remember the pizza place.  The pizza was the best I have ever had.....brick stone pizza with fresh basil, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.  Recommend any of this places if you are in the area!

Great week of sunshine and relaxing!

Basement Project

Well in May the 150 year farm house we live in was lifted off it's foundation and the old basement taken away. 

Four weeks later a new foundation and basement was under our 150 year old farm house.

 It has been slow going but I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel!  Electrical is done, trim almost ready to hang, doors are on the rooms, carpet ordered. 

Oh it will be so nice to get it done so I can enjoy some projects that I have been wanting to do.

Girls weekend

This past weekend I got to travel down to Chicago with Alexis and Mallorie to spend some girl time with Jamie!!  It was a long drive down as we went 9 miles in 2 hours.  But did see something really funny in that traffic jam.....a pickup was riding the right shoulder trying to get to the head of the line...semi cuts him off....pick up driver pulls over leaving his door open and yells at the semi driver....semi driver weaves through traffic and took off the pick up drivers door!  Guess you should never leave your door open!  The pick up driver then runs after the semi yelling.  Not sure what happen after that because traffic started moving.

Delish snack by host Jamie, walking around the city, watching House, going to church and before we knew it....time to head back to Michigan.  Great weekend with my girls!!
