Home Sweet Home

Our home is looking more and more like a home now and not a storage facility :o) Rocky and I have been able to come home in the evenings, cook dinner and relax. Last weekend we put up some of our pictures on the walls and set up a book case in the living room so we could unpack all the knitting and cooking books :o) That got rid of quite a few boxes. We weren't really home this past weekend so not much was done but this weekend we've got a few little projects to take care. I think we are going to move some stuff around in the extra bedroom so we can fit our computer desk and bookshelf. We've been using the kitchen table for the laptops and that's just not going to work. Rocky also needs his little guitar area :o)

We've had a friend over painting this week and that should be done by Friday so we are excited. The previous people did a horrible job with painting the walls. You can see that at some point the walls were red. It's also a bummer because they painted over the wood, that's one thing that we were kind of bummed about with the house. The house has some very pretty wood molding around the doors, windows and baseboards but the previous people painted over some of it. We have a mixture of the original wood in the front part of the house and then most of the back of the house is white. It would have been really pretty if it had been left alone. We are going to leave what wood is left the way it is but we'll repaint the white parts so that they look nicer and you can't see the icky old paint.

We are concentrating on getting the upstairs of the house all squared away before we move to the downstairs or the outside. I'm going to have to start reading up on gardens because I do not have a green thumb.

This past weekend Rocky and I headed to Half Moon Bay to do ride support for my cycle team. The team rode 65 miles and everyone did a great job. We had a great time supporting and cheering them on.

Sunday we headed to Sonoma for the day with Ms. Olivia. It was pouring rain which was a bummer but we had t pick up our wine and it was the last weekend we could do it before they shipped it to us. We had a nice lunch at Red Grape Pizza, picked up our wine, did a little tasting at a few wineries and then headed home. We got home pretty early so the rest of the evening we just relaxed and watched the Oscars.

We are trying to enjoy the house and the down time we have before training starts again. We are both looking forward to training and running another marathon.
