For Christmas Susan’s Aunt Sue gave us this awesome Satellite Bowl sold by MoMA. We immediately placed it on our dinning table and stuck some leftover Christmas ornaments in it.

A while back when we were re-doing the door we removed an old window unitfrom the side of the house. This project was completed a couple of months ago so I apologize for the tardiness. The first thing we had to fix after taking out the A/C were the two studs that had been cut out … Read More
