The story behind the pictures of the remodel.
The contractors were finally done on Friday, Oct. 17th. We cleaned frantically Sat and Sun and had a party with our closest friends on Monday. Then we frantically packed up our RV and had to leave Sat. the 25th. Wow, we were exhausted by the time we left.
We are getting settled in at Morro Bay State Park on the central California coast and will be "firewood Hosts" until May 1st.

1973
The year was 1973, August 29th. Jonathan was born in Hermiston, Oregon. He was so cute! Like every other baby of mine, I fell instantly in love.
We had only been in Hermiston for a little over a month. This was the year that I went out and bought a whole bunch of ripe peaches and decided we were going to learn how to can them. It is also when we found out that Nanette was really allergic to peaches! Don't know if you guys remember much about living there because it was only about 8 months before I got transferred again.
Anyway, on another note, a very dear friend of ours passed away and we attended her funeral today. You may remember at my 60th birthday party she was the chinese woman who sang "happy birthday" to me in chinese. She was only 58 years old and was diagnosed with cancer about 10 months ago. She was a close friend of Wanda's.
Gonna end this now.
Love you all, Dad

I Hate Painting
Well, here we are for the 3rd time painting our family room, kitchen and dining room. The contractor has all of the unfinished hardwood flooring down and wants all the walls painted before he sands and finishes the flooring. The worst part is masking everything off. The end result will be great though. It's just agonizing getting it done.
He wants us out of the house for 3 days while he does the finishing so we are going to Las Vegas to meet Wanda's sisters the 24th of August. We both had frequent flier miles, so that part doesn't cost us anything, but we have a pretty strict gambling budget though.
I'll try to post some before and after photos for you all to look at.
