This is our friend Jerry and Steve setting up our new tv. It was Steve's bday present to himself.
Here Steve has Jackie helping him put together a tv stand. I couldn't help, because I was trying to get the house together for the open house. Great timing.
This is Steve's over the hill cake I made him. It wasn't quite what I had envisioned, but I think it turned out okay. We had a great open house. Lots of friends and family came, and I think Steve enjoyed it.
I picked out some granite from Rich Murray in Bartonville. They have extra pieces out in the yard discounted. I saved $500 from what KBL wanted. We had them cut 4 pieces to the size of the frpl, and Dad and I glued them on. I think it turned out beautiful.
We just need to finish the base around the bottom and it will be done. This was the last big project to finish. We still need to paint the columns in the spring, then most of the stuff on our list will be done.
Jackie made the vball team, and I think she is enjoying it. She was a little worried that she wouldn't get to play since she is a newbie.
She made one point on serve when she was put in the game for a couple minutes. I told her to be patient and practice hard, and she will get chances. I sat the bench for most of my athletic career.
