The Loft

 kitchen still needs a back-splash

 and counter-top trim

bathroom still needs wall treatment or paint and vanity needs doors or maybe I'll make curtains

 windows need sills and trim

 painted plywood floors for now

Murmuration

This video is so awesome it made the little hairs on my arms stand up and tears come to my eyes. I would love to witness such a thing but this video and their genuine reaction almost made me feel like I was there.

Fall Durango Trip

Some last minute 'timing' issues has caused us to scramble to make new vacations plans in a hurry.
Sooo... we leave in 4 days! Saturday morning we're flying to Durango Colorado for the week!!!

I've always wanted to go, but I'm certain I will break my leg if I attempt skiing, so the crisp air and spectacular mountain scenery of Autumn seems like the perfect time for us to go. Perhaps a bit late in the year but we'll see. You'll see too if you want, because I'm making an online journal of sorts, I'll add the link below. It's like my very own online travel guide I guess, and once I get there I can post pictures and journal about the details. Family and friends follow our 'photo trail' while we're there (I love you Mom!). I'll be updating the journal with photos and notes in real time as we explore.
