More painting and decorating!

We decided to put down new flooring in the downstairs bathroom so here I am removing the baseboards and I took the old cushion floor up. Suppose to be a simple project. Rip up the cushion floor and put down some nice laminate. However, nothing is that simple. Once Gary had the toilet taken out a thought occurred to me . . . what a great time to paint the walls! and the vanity! So, here is the before . . .

Here is the after. We love the lamiate flooring - it looks so posh! I love the vanity painted white - makes the bathroom look brighter. Also, we had to get new hardware in polished nickel. I still have to paint the window and trim. Notice the cat window and 'step' for them to get in and out. That can be a little disconcerting - sitting on the toilet and a cat comes flying through the window!

Gary got this new basket thingy for his tractor - Aaron thinks it is just great for having a ride in!

Birthday flowers, cards and best wishes

A surprise delivery today from my wonderful son in Calgary - a beautiful flower arrangement! Thanks again, Honey. I am also sporting one of three new pairs of earrings from my other wonderful son.

The NBGBs were over for a visit today and brought a bouquet of daffodils and a butterfly bush - I think I heard the bunnies saying 'Yum, yum' so some fencing may be in order before it gets planted outdoors. Thanks to everyone for the cards and best wishes - 52 isn't so bad. We went out to supper at Pizza Delight - one of my most favorite places to eat. All in all, a great day!

New additions to Upper Clements Cottages!

Born at approximately 4:30 a.m. this morning, twin girls! Proud mama is Clementine and proud papa is Riley. The babies are doing fine and weigh about 3 lbs each. Gary had a 'feeling' that Clementine would give birth last night, so about 4:30 a.m. he went out to the barn to check and one baby had already been born. He came in to wake me up and tell me and by the time he got back out, the second baby was born. We helped clean them up - hey, we can sleep anytime, right? They are too cute and we don't have any names yet. It's amazing how fast they get up and move around. Here they are:
Baby 1

Baby 2 and Mama


Baby 2 and Mama again.

Someone's hungry!

They are really too cute!
