Ah, Home {& Advice Followed}

The last two weeks have been busy ones in the Brindle household. The week before last my parents brought us furniture (more on that to follow), our cat had a near death experience (a real one this time), and we headed to Kalispell for a family reunion.....of which I will not speak.

I must say it's good to be home. Especially because....dun dun dun....our bedroom is finally coming together!!! When Eric's parents visited last, Kristi suggested that we should tackle one room at a time, and, since I'd been wanting to start on our bedroom for a while, my parents' visit was the perfect opportunity to begin. Eric ripped out the built-ins Tuesday night and my parents and I spent the rest of the week painting, patching holes, and moving furniture. It was great to have help and even better to finally have a sanctuary in which to escape the clutter of projects contained in the rest of the house.

The cat got a little too helpful....so he got put under the laundry basket

No more built-ins!

My dad is THE BEST edge painter. THE BEST.

Taking a break

On Day 2 Mum hemmed the curtains

And then headed to Kalispell

Where we played lots of Koob

 

...hung out with the niece & nephew...

... and played some redneck horseshoes.

Hung out with the fam a little more...

...then headed home...the long way.....through Glacier

Eric's first time in Glacier with the sun shining

The long way home included a drive through Judith Gap. The windmills were pretty incredible!

Now that we're back home, it's time to accessorize!
