At last, and finally, the renovations are finished.

Lunch break 01

Bert proves he’s more than a house renovator and just another pretty face to shows us his skills at the grill.  I’m not surprised though.  I know Amy’s specialty is Kraft Dinner served to you in one of three ways – soggy and overcooked, crispy and undercooked, or instant in the microwave.  Read the rest of this entry »

Not happy with simply destroying the top floor, we proceeded to the basement.

Amy and Bert on Trampoline Everyone likes a trampoline.

There was some sort of a game going on here. Being old, with brittle and weak bones, I wasn’t going to get involved. I think it was called “bum fights” or something like that.
