The House: After!

The major work in remodeling our house finished up December 9. The much larger living room with its gas stove and the bigger bathroom have much such a huge difference. Our lives have changed! Carmen is enjoying her new room as well.

It's hard to photograph the bathroom, but it's amazing what an extra two-and-a-half feet can do. We no longer have to step into the tub to get around each other, and you don't have to ride side-saddle on the throne!

Carmen's tree in progress--it has since produced more blooms.
