I even popped in a few thrifts and the antique mall.Most everything in my town is old and has never been updated (thank the gods!).Rummaging can be a dirty job which means hands do get dirty.Luckily one of the thrifts was kind enough to let me wash up in their restroom and I got a kick out of the old sinks,tile work,and this sanitary container.
My town is also filled with beautiful old churches.I didn't get many shots of the glass windows but that is a project for a different post.
When I got back the car was ready to be picked up so when my hubby got back we loaded up the kids and Sam and headed to Lake Superior.I felt bad having to leave Ollie and Lug behind but water isn't really their thing.Ollie likes attacking the lawn hose and that is his extent of water play.Sam was DEFINITELY in his element though.
My Monday started off pretty well.I've given up coffee.Its been 3 days now and I'm just now starting to get the headache from no caffeine to lighten up a little.So despite it being Monday and no coffee I can't really complain.
I still have most of my home projects in limbo so they're not ready to "show off" but here you get a little sneak peek at my stair way,isn't the green fun?!
Cute little town. That's a lab for ya, they love the water! Your kids are getting so big.

I know,they really grow up too fast!
DeleteWow, cool that such rest-rooms really exist! Well, Jos found an awesome tile floor in our kitchen, under the linoleum of the former habitant, so I won't complain! (pictures should appear on my blog later today, although it's written in Dutch ;-) )
ReplyDeleteHm I think I like coffee too much to give it up ;-) although I know it should be better if I did. Good luck!
I'll have to check it out!
DeleteI love coffee so it is hard to give it up but I'm trying to be healthier so it is needed.If I could drink it black it wouldn't be a big deal but I use Coffee-Mate so its not the greatest thing to be drinking large quantities of!
Have I told you how much I adore your stellar hair and eyebrows? In case not, let it be said now, because I absolutely do!

Ohh yes the green is fab!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all the 'old' in your town. London has beautiful old buildings, but any kind of signage or anthing is ripped out and updated every couple of years and replaced with a whole lot of ugly, you rarely see untouched shop fronts. So jealous!
