Celebrated several things on February 13th. It was Karen and Gwen's birthday, plus almost Valentine's Day, plus Karen is living in her new home, plus we hadn't all been together since before Christmas so there were some Christmas gifts to give away. Plus it was a beautiful sunny day!
It was exciting to see Karen in her new home, this was our first viewing. The cabin went from this in August 2017:

from this:

They got some free old barn boards from April's husband Bob. The boards are beautiful used as cover boards on the wall. They call them Bob Boards.
They also used the old rusty tin that was removed from the roof of the cabin, as wall siding as you can see in this picture, just below the barometer. It is down the hallway too. The hallway leads to the barn.
Jan gave Gwen a quilt for her birthday. Laurel Burch horse prints were used because Gwen loves her horses. She has three of them.
Karen is happy to be living next door to her daughter Keely, who is so generous to let her parents fix up and move into the little cabin adjacent to her house. Keely has lots of farm animal pets, like this pig she named Hammy. He gets to come into Karen's house and hang out. The flowers were gifts to Karen from April.
We had a fun day together. Didn't get much creative work done but who cares? It was wonderful to all be together again.
Oh, Jan...thank you SO MUCH for sharing our fun day together! It was so wonderful to all be together again! Hopefully now that Karen is all settled in we can go visit her more often. I LOVE their new place. It is perfect for them. What a blessing to have such a sweet daughter that would offer them this perfect abode! I LOVE it all!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. Such a good time! The Bob Boards are the best and used in the home with such distinction. So much love fills that home. Your quilt made a perfect gift. Great post that has me smiling.
