SOLD

It's practically official! The house is sold and escrow is set to close on September 26th! We are very excited about getting everything done so we can head north to visit the family. The kitchen in the Oceano house is finally done and that makes it 'move-in ready'.

All new floors

New windows and a new front door along with a fresh coat of paint has been added to the House in Oceano.


The floors have been refinished with ceramic tile
throughout, except in the bedrooms. New carpets
in the bedroom make things all warm and cozy,
especially with our new earth tone walls.



The Master Bedroom






The old brick patio was replaced with a NEW LARGER concrete slab that contains a footing and rebar so a room addition could be added in the future

Oceano house progress

We thought we'd be in by now, but guess it will have to wait a while longer as the A.G. house is still on the market. We are making progress in Oceano, though.

MARK is showing us how to blog...

Here it is, a year later, and now MARK is re-showing Mike and Lonni, how to add another blog...

In another year Maggie or Camden will probably have to show them again.
Here is one of the early pictures of the new underground sprinkler project

Month of May

We are going to try this BLOGGING thing for a change. Matt helped us set up this site and we will see if we can keep it up. Feel free to make comments, and we will try to keep up.

For the month of MAY we went to Yakima to work on the house again. Since we were already in the Pacific Northwest, we decided to fly back to LA and take a cruise ship back up to Vancouver BC when the Princess Lines repositioned the Sapphire Princess ship for the Summer. It was a 4 day cruise. After spending a couple of days with Camden we pick up the air conditioner and head back over the mountains to Yakima to install it at the house.

Even retired folks enjoy having someone wait on them hand and foot for a few days! One of the highlights of the trip was a whale-watching excursion in Victoria, BC. We actually saw a pod of about 23 Orca Whales, but the trip out to see them was so long we had very little time to actually watch them.
