Where have you been?

We've been out amongst the people and having fun...... but now we are back...

So update on the house stuff, Mr M finished up the plumbing, looks all fancy pants with sticky labels....

Not quite so tidy in the crawl space.....

Then he added the ledger to the back of the house for the deck that will run the entire length....

Taped up the door sills...

And fitted the two back doors.....

Then he fitted the hardware (handles and locks etc.)....

And the first door is now all masked up and is in the garage getting painted......

So the reason for the season of missing blog posts.  We went skiing for a week, back up to Washington and we had a brilliant weeks être sur la piste de qn.

Thanks to friends for coming to ski with us......

I only got one photo of Tom.... him and Mr M are up there somewhere......

We had fresh snow and sunshine.....

And at the end of the week we got to catch up with more of the WA Chapter.....

Then after a week back to work my lovely friend Joni and her hubby and two doglets came for the weekend.  They got to experience a Port Orford storm, and then the sun came out, chilly though with the hills behind us covered in snow.....

It's been fantastic to see everyone, we will now return to normal hermit status!  In the meantime, exactly a year ago this happened.....

We've come a long way Mr M.... won't be much longer - right?
