Summertime

This summer has flown bye! We had a nice long weekend over the 4th with some good weather and time on the boat. We celebrated Jeff's 28th birthday, thank you Carolyn for the cake. And at the end of the month Amy and Chris visited from CO so we took some vacation time with them too. While they were here we went to the lake and tried not to get rained on, took Chris for some lobster in Kittery, showed him Boston and Hampstead and then the great North woods of NH. We drove up to North Conway hoping to see Mt. Washington and to also go kart. We were 0-2, our only saving grace was that the New England Ski Museum was open. All in all I think we all enjoyed their trip "home".

As for the house...

...It has been a bumpy, or should I say washed out, road over in Hudson Heights. Because of some political and weather delays the crew was shutdown for the month of July. They finally started work again Aug 2nd and we have been on a role since. We have siding on 3/4 of the house and the inside is almost ready for the kitchen. There is trim and doors up and we will be picking paint soon. I told them I want nothing more for my birthday than living in my own house. We have added to the album and hopefully as the weeks go on we will see more and more changes and finishing touches.
