Number not sure

Last week Cheri and I headed to New England for our annual destination half marathon. And in total I’m not sure which number half this is but in the teens I think. Anyway, our first stop was New Hampshire where we stayed a few days with Kelly and Dominic and had a great time. Thursday we visited the beach and did some shopping and eating. The weather and scenery were great!

Friday we did a little sightseeing around Boston and found these very interesting ornaments. Yes, that’s a veterinarian merman. They had several others as well. 


More traditional Boston scenery. 


Then we parted ways with Kelly and headed on to the beach town of Hull where the race would be. We got there just in time for the sunset. 







Race day mornin! A few pre-race pics. 





Some of the lovely views from the course. The homes we ran past were also amazing and we really enjoyed the course. 

Post race selfie!


Post race celebration!

Saturday night we were joined by an agility friend and her husband, as well as Kelly and Dom, for one last dinner on the water. We had a great time and a wonderful trip!

My sister was here this weekend and we went to wonder of wildlife today.  Thanks to the local discount we saw both sides this time.  It made for some cool photos but definitely not as good as the aquarium part.

We've completed the next stage of remodeling!  It's been a big one! I repainted my countertops, we got new appliances, new flooring, and some new furniture!

Original kitchen (mostly, I painted the countertops about five years ago and we added some decals to the backsplash)

Preparing to paint!

 Step 1!

New colors!

 Kitchen completed!

 Bedroom completed!

 Living and dining room completed! Except we didn't have the TV cords hidden yet, but it looks better now.  I just didn't want to take new photos.
