Windows, Windows, and More Windows

Time goes fast when you're busy and having fun, that's for sure. And, the secret is out! Roger has been working feverishly in his workshop making windows for the side lights in both Greta and Heidi's homes. They're finished. They're beautiful! And Greta and Heidi LOVE them!


Here's a quick review of our whirlwind week. We were up to Green Bay to visit and install the first window at Greta's house. Then we went back this past Monday to put a new frame up around it and finish it off. It looks great and Greta and Adam really love it. Greta played in her Celtic group on St Patrick's Day and rumor has it that she was fantastic! Congratulations, Greta! We'll be there next year. :)

Went to Heidi's on Wednesday and Roger secretly installed her window as well. We had a St Patrick's Day dinner of corned beef and cabbage...mmmm corned beef...and hung out there and even played Guitar Hero for a little bit. Thursday we picked up Lara and Jason (with Heidi and Max) and took them to Culver's for lunch. Then back to school to see Jason as the spider who chased Miss Muffet away in a little kindergarten program they had. That was fun!



Then we came home and Chrissy called to inform us that she would be having extensive hand surgery on April 8 at Mayo. Hello? Including screws and/or a metal plate. Hello? So we'll be heading over that direction April 7th and spending a few days helping out our little Chrissy. Now that kind of news is enough to bowl anyone over.

Roger and Brittany came over Thursday night for another dinner of corned beef and cabbage (did I mention we love corned beef?) We had a nice time and even played a game of hand to foot which ended in a near tie. Their house is just about the way they like it...you never finish on your house, do you? I'm still working on mine.

Tonight we're going out to dinner and to see a play with the Meke's. Whew! I need a nap. And that, my friends, is how retired people spend their time. :)

  1. I want some corned beef! That sounds great! I'm very excited to have you come and visit us and help out when I get my new bionic hand. :D Also, great picture placement in this post. I love the picture of Max...why can I see Dad posing for that same picture?
