Renovation Nation

It’s time to unveil the renovations!  I shall forgo the food today and do the reveal.  Here was the room before.  Probably hard to picture, but it was a long rectangle with the laundry area on the right and the pantry shelves on the left.  The only plumbing in this area was the washer line [...]

Weekend roundup, rehab, riding, and repast

Happy Easter for those that celebrate **picture heavy post coming up** Saturday was dreary and rainy – so that meant renovations!  We are just trucking along right now. Floor tiling is all done: Still need to grout.  Nice change from this: To this: Even without the grout it is sooooo much better! New lighting fixture [...]

Renovation weekend

Productive weekend on the homefront.  No so great on the eating front.  The weather was kind of yucky for biking. Saturday was cold and kind of drizzly.  Sunday was a little sunnier, but really windy.  I don’t mind biking in cold so much, but I detest biking in strong winds. We had our usual Sunday [...]

Weekend wrapup and Happy birthday to Colleen!

Sunday is my sister’s birthday!  We did a sister lunch today We got a lot of things accomplished with the half/bath laundry.  We are getting the drywall up.  The pantry is closed up. The opening is where the folding doors will go.  We now have to remove these racks to do the flooring.  They come [...]

Life is grand, a baby grand, that is!

Dang these weekends go by fast!  And how many of you could see the moon? It was soooo bright!  I took this at a little before 6 am. We spent Sunday early morning at Panera for breakfast (later than 6am, though). We were up early.  I was up at 5 am on a Sunday.  How [...]

Birds of Prey and renovation update

I can’t believe how fast this weekend went by!  We got quite a bit done on our half bath installation.  Saturday marked the day to put down the main drain line. That meant to go down here: I thought for sure my butt wouldn’t go down that hole.  I still have that distorted view of [...]

Bagels and sprouts!

It’s Wednesday, or Bagel Day at casa Finding Radiance.  Both John and I rode the bike trainers before breakfast today.  Usually I ride in the morning and he rides in the evenings, but he happened to be up.  I got in 10 miles in 41 minutes this morning. Then it was time to hit Orange [...]

Chock full weekend

We got up to a lot of shenanigans this weekend!  I had a job interview in the morning on Saturday at a garden center to work in the nursery through the growing season.  She will let me know later this week.  It would be nice to do, but if nothing comes of it, that is [...]

Bagels and building permits

It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means!  I was up raring for a bike ride.  If only it could be outdoors.  It was 2 degrees out this morning, so that just wasn’t happening LOL!  I hopped on the trainer for 10 miles and read.  I have to say I am loving reading while on [...]

Flashback Friday kitchen edition!

I decided to take today off from exercise, since it is the start of my weekend and I ran 6+ miles yesterday.  I am rethinking how much I run a little bit.  So, it was a lazy morning at home, and I used the rest of the sweet potato I cooked yesterday to make some [...]
