Back to work .... again

THIS was a lot of work!! To make sure I didn't have to replace any flooring before the new carpet was installed I decided to remove it myself a few day in advance. That sounded like a great idea ... for about the first hour! First cut the carpet, then pad, in a strip ... roll it up ... carry it to the dumpster ... climb the ladder ... throw it in ... repeat and repeat ... and repeat ..... !

Well I finally got it all up ... some floor replaced and then the big day .. Carpet Day!!  

I knew from the beginning of this project that when I finally got to " carpet day" .. I was near the end!! 

Now guess who gave it the stamp of approval ???

my Assistant !!

Adult weekend ...

After all the fun with the grandkids, we changed things up a bit when the adult children returned!
Ryan and Whitney planned a long weekend away from their  New York City life to meet up with Sean and Ashley  here to recount some of those childhood memories!!!  I'm sure the girls heard WAY too many stories ... but for me, the trips down memory lane were priceless!!
I posted these pictures because looking at the sky in these three days of "beaching it" ... it's hard to believe we did not get rained on one time and everyone went back home with a tan!  They did make for beautiful contrast with the white sand :)
