Home Depot Trip


You've seen THOSE people before. They are in the parking lot with an item too big for their car and they are trying desperately to squeeze it in. "Maybe in the trunk?" "How about across the backseat?" "I Think I could probably tie it on top!" We go by and laugh, "What were they THINKING??" Today, we WERE those people!

We made the trip to Home Depot with our bathroom list and wanted to get it all over with. Wes took care of the sink, cabinet, hanging cabinet, mirror and plumbing and I went and picked up a couple of lights. It took two carts; a shopping basket and one of those big flat bed carriers. I looked at the load and wondered how in the WORLD it was going to fit but Wes said that if it didn't fit, we could come pick up the rest tomorrow. They called an employee to help us "load" the items. He did one of those looks at the cart, then the car, then the cart... you know one of those "What were you thinking??" looks. But he tries. He gets out his tape measure and measures the boxes, then the car then the loading began. I don't know if you can tell or not, but it ALL FIT!! I'm serious!! It took up the entire back of the car from the back of the seats to the back door and from the right side door to the left door and all the way to the ceiling, but it fit. I just had to take a picture (or 7) just so you would believe me. Check it out! We'll have to go back with a truck for the tub/shower enclosure. That's right.... we KNOW that won't fit! 

Saturday is the big day of the tear down and fix up. Wes did take some before pictures and oh, I can't wait to share the afters!

Coffee T. Rice House

Isn't this a beautiful Victorian Style home? You can't see all of it because of the shrubbery and trailer park at the base of the house. It made me curious about the history of the house so I looked it up. Here is what I found. This is the historical information I found written  HERE . Coffee T. Rice House Oceano, California History and Description: Coffee T. Rice was a wealthy financier, with enterprises throughout the State, who migrated from Ohio to San Francisco. When a railroad was surveyed through this area he envisioned an industrial center here and acquired various properties close to the right of way. He introduced celery production to the area. Rice started construction on his home in 1885 using the same craftsmen that were working on the Pitkin House. The house originally had 20 rooms and was painted yellow. Surrounded by well-kept grounds with various trees and a sundial, the house was approached by an oval driveway and a stone-pillared entryway. The grounds also in...

Norwegian Pancakes (Norska Pannekaken)

Every culture has its pancake and this is the Norwegian version, a very light, crepe-like pancake that goes with just about anything.

Remembering Loved Ones

Halloween...it's on the horizon. Stores are going all out with candy, costumes and decorations. Kids are practicing their very best, "Trick or Treats" and making costumes ready for the big night. Church's are organizing carnivals in an attempt to keep kids off the street and safe. My kids participated in Halloween until they were way to old to really get away with Trick or Treating and they loved every minute of it. Frankly, so did I! But now that they are grown, I've started a new tradition in my home. It's loosely based on El Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. I spend October "re-membering." I read somewhere that as long as someone is alive to say your name and remember you, you are not truly dead. Dead here I think would mean forgotten and unknown. When October comes, I get out my Family Tree and as many pictures as I can find of family that has passed on, and I say their names and think about them and the stories I have heard. I'm k...
