I haven't left xanga... just been too busy to even want to post these days.

We bought a cottage and have spent some time fixing and doing stuff to make it homey and cozy for our tastes. Its up on a lil hill and its cool b/c you can see people and cars going by but they can't see you up there.

Its got 2 fireplaces and vaulted cielings in the livingroom and kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, very modest and simple. We brought all our wicker and country furniture up there and its cozy and perfect now.

We want to spend as much time as we can there but its a 3 hour drive, I just have to suck it up and just do it LOL!!!

My niece helped me strip wallpaper and get the walls ready to paint, but that will have to wait till next time we go. My other niece and I painted the panelling downstairs (gag) and it looks WAY better now!

Joe and Adam did lots of outside maintenance and Kate helped me inside.

It has an amazing deck, its huge and I know we will have many good times out there!

So now you know what I've pretty much been up to these days!!
