This is the new tile in the apartment bathroom. Phil and Dad laid it Wednesday night. I love the color. It is a off-white kind of marbled look to it and the grout is taupe. They did a great job! Phil is a pro. I hope it gets sealed tomorrow so we can put the vanity and medicine cabinet mirror in. Dad bought some plumbing parts yesterday to install. I have my eye on some pretty carpet at Home Depot.

Our weather has really warmed up. Last week it got up to 48 degrees. Much of the snow is melted. Weird weather for Alaska.

Hi to everyone and a blessed merry Christmas season to all. Hopefully you are enjoying the start of December. We had our Ladies Christmas Tea at church. Annie and I took a table and decorated it with a blue and snowflake theme. What fun!! She is the crafty one who made the centerpiece..a frosty white/silver tree with blue snowflakes and also the take home magnets which said.."wash me and I shall be whiter than snow". I brought the tablecloth, china, and silverware. We both made something yummy to eat. Annie made her famous scones and butter sauce and I made an apple/walnut cake. Gretchen came and we had our picture taken in front of the Christmas tree. It was lots of mothers and their young daughters so I insisted and Gretchen complied...a little reluctantly. Dad had Guard weekend so work progress stopped on the garage apartment. Tonight Phil is coming to lay the tile in th ebathroom. We will update you with pictures shortly.
