The progress on the fireplace is coming along nicely!! So far, we found a sweet mantel from the Restore. Then we built the hearth. And then the firebox. I wanted a neutral colored stone to attach to the hearth and firebox that would compliment the pretty mantel. One day as we were walking through Home […]

We got some much needed yard work done […]
A Little Fall Football Game

VALENTINE’S DAY ~ a day of love
