Busy Weekend

Posted on September 5, 2006April 13, 2016 by Andi

We were busier than I had expected this weekend.

Thursday we went to the fair after taping a video for Chuck's business. It was a lot of fun.

Friday, Chuck went to the fair with Casey from ReconRobotics and was involved in a couple live news events with Channel 5. I went with and they did a really good job. It was fun to see what you do to be on tv. Chuck did a great job. 🙂

Saturday, I went to a friend's son's 1st birthday party. It was a good time and her son is so cute! That evening, Chuck and I went to get some paint and painted our master bathroom.

Master Bath

Here is one picture. The color is “Foggy Morn” but the pictures I took don't do this color justice. It's a light blue-gray and very pretty.

It's the same color I painted the laundry room Sunday. After cleaning the house, I went to work in the luandry room and Chuck went to a friend's house to install and new garage door and opener. Then we had dinner with my mom, Dave, Charlie, Adam and Katie (Adam's girlfriend) at St. Albans Boat House near us. It was really good. Then we went back to our place for Key Lime pie. 🙂 I love that stuff.

Monday I finished up the laundry room and then we went to Jon and Linda's for dinner with Paige and Brian. It was nice to see them. It felt like it had been a while.

Overall, we had a really good weekend. I hope everyone else had a good Holiday, too.

This & That

Posted on September 1, 2006 by Andi

We went to the fair yesterday. We were only there a short time because there isn't a whole lot I feel like I want to see. I just go for the food. That's the best part of the fair. But I am more than satisfied by going and staying for a couple hours and going home. I am full of fair food until next year. 🙂

I have been reading a book about starting a small business and learning a lot. There's a lot of information in those things.

I can't believe it's already September. The summer went by way too quickly. Before we know it there will be snow….and HOCKEY!

New Ulm

Posted on August 23, 2006 by Andi

Last weekend Paige and I went to New Ulm. She is doing her next bit of field work there and wanted to meet her supervisor. So we had a fun time….Shopping, eating WAY too much food and just wandering around the town. HERE are all the pictures I took there. On our way out of town, we found a mini golf course that looked like a lot of fun. I am also hoping to go back and tour their brewery, but when we got there, they were sold out of tickets. Might have to take a little trip down to see her while she is working there.

Projects Around the House

Posted on August 14, 2006January 30, 2011 by Andi

We've done a couple projects around the house recently. The first was a fence in the front of the house. You can see pictures HERE.

The other one I can't take any credit for. Chuck did most of the work and Adam came over to help him. We put a wall in the basement as well as a pocket door (which is still being stained and finished) like the plan originally was for the house. HERE are pictures from this project. I think it's going to be nice to be able to close this room off. And when we finish the rest of the basement, we are going to put in a utility door and a closet. The closet will make it a 5th room in the house. But we won't finish the rest of the basement for a while still. Once we start the project, we have to be ready to finish it and it's a big project. But this is a good start!

Stampin' Up!

Posted on August 10, 2006January 10, 2012 by Andi

My friend, Katie, invited me to a Stampin' Up! card making event last night. We made 6 cards. It was so much fun. They are a little more ornate than the ones I make, but I had a lot of fun. And I got a bunch of ideas on things I can do. These are the cards we made. We did two of each pattern.

This is a great place to waste time. You pick topics and click 'stumble' and it finds different sites for you. You will have to have a browser that works with it and set up an account. It is well worth it. Enjoy wasting your time!
