And After...

Thank you Davis Cabinets!  The corian will be taken off this morning and have holes put in the back of it for the monitor wires.  Once our printer prints its last page, we'll get one that will fit inside the desk behind one of the doors.  We had to steal knobs and handles out of the bedroom since these are not available anymore. 

The desk is much bigger than I had envisioned, but I really like it.  Today should be the last day of remodels, repairs, and parking lots.  It has taken almost a year, but I think we're finally at the point of getting on with some fun!  Yahoooo!

Before...

Oh the mess, the nowhere to put everything, makes me crazy, before...

Happy 4th!

We went "downtown" this morning to watch the 4th of July parade. I'm not sure which family it was, but there is one particular family that is celebrating their 100th reunion this weekend in Harrisburg, OR. That's pretty cool in my book.

There were probably several thousand people lining the streets to watch the fire trucks, floats, and tractors go by. And of course, the kids were giddy racing to get the candy that was being thrown from the parade! One thing I noticed is the ubiquitous tatoos! Really, I have never seen so many tatoo'd people in one place! What an economic boon for anyone that is talented enough to draw something "permanent" on somebody else! Cracked me up.
These 4 huskies were pulling a cart carrying candy for the kids.
We had a great time watching the parade, then headed down by the river, where food booths were set up. A pulled pork sandwich and a shave ice later, we plopped ourselves down by the Willamette River for a while before we headed back to the mh.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
