Good times

We spent what seemed like a good portion of the weekend at Marissa (Kris's sister) & Gary's new house. They now have a pool, so I think we'll be spending a lot of time over there, at least until the end of the summer. Good thing for them that summer's almost over, so hopefully they won't get sick of us. We all had a great time, especially Nora. Spending time with Dominic (Marissa's son, whom Nora adores), swimming, playing with their dart game-- all add up to FUN for Nora.



Also, we're excited (and a bit nervous) that we get our new windows on Friday. I'm anxious about the possible mess (dust...possible lead paint??? I need to do some research on how to clean up) and a little sad about losing the old windows, but overall it will be good as long as everything goes smoothly. I even found some new homes for the old windows. Several people at work have asked for some for decorating projects. I was originally worried about finding homes for the 15 or so panes that have the original glass, but those are all spoken for, as well as about 15 of the old frames with newer glass. Wish I'd thought to charge a couple dollars each!
