John's New Love

John has taken up a new hobby this last year and it has reached a new point. He has become a little obsessed with remote control cars and these are not the ones you buy at Target. He decided to buy a new one, which involved building the car from scratch. After taking over my dining room table for the last month, it is done with. According to John, this one will be completely dedicated to racing.

Home Projects

Our vegetable garden.

We thought the flowers in the hanging basket above all died last year, so we were very happy to see flowers growing back.

All done in the bathroom.

Not finish yet, but looks a lot better than it did.

We took down our base about a year ago when we put in our hardwood floors and John finally put it back. The only thing he has left to do is put in the shoe molding - he did do it in the bathroom, so the picture shows what it will look like when it is all done. We also decided to do a vegetable garden this year. John built me a planter and then we planted some corn, green beans, and onions. We planted some strawberries and tomatoes in some pots out back. Because of the nice weather our bulbs are starting to bloom out front and we planted some flowers in the garden beds in the front yard.

Alki

We have been having great weather the last few weeks in Seattle. John and I went with his parents to the home show a couple of weeks ago and then afterwards we headed to Alki to have dinner. We got some great pictures with downtown in the backgrouns.
