2011 Missions: Accomplished


Built raised beds and grew a bunch of good stuff,

got the chicken coop to end all chicken coops (thanks, honey),

changed out the lights over the breakfast bar,

and kitchen table (thanks, Bill),
ripped out the lousy living room carpet that came with the house and installed travertine,
baked a pile of Christmas cookies with Stevie and Andi (whose move up here with Bill wasn't a goal of  mine, but is a bonus),
certified as a master gardener in Oregon,
and lost weight.  Twenty-two pounds to be exact.
We had some fabulous visits with good friends, we've seen some wonderful concerts, and I've discovered that the longer I live here, the happier I am.  A belated happy new year to everyone!

Thank you, Bernie - you're right, it never ends, but I love this place and the things we do to make it even better. Hope to see you and Kelly soon.
