In Denver.\u00a0 Kate and I got here around 3 pm, got a car, got on Hwy 70 and that was as far as we got for awhile.\u00a0 An accident well ahead of us.<\/p>\n
Very bright here and warm.<\/p>\n
Jon’s done an amazing amount of work on their new kitchen, dining room, two new baths, a new bedroom.\u00a0 He bought an old bowling alley, cut in half, took a to a shop and had it planed and sanded, put edging on it and has mounted it as their kitchen work spaces.\u00a0 It’s gorgeous.<\/p>\n
He also took pillars and framing timbers of old growth Douglas fir, sawed 115 years ago, glued it together and made shelves and more counter tops.\u00a0 It’s beautiful.<\/p>\n
He worked for a while with a Minneapolis renovator and learned a lot.\u00a0 He’s tiling, putting in waterproofing, laying bathroom floors.\u00a0 Quite a project considering he’s also teaching full time.<\/p>\n
Granddaughter Ruth and grandson Gabe came running up to get their hugs.\u00a0 Sollie, the dog, stayed with us this summer and he came up to greet us, too.\u00a0 Family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
