Mal installed a sink in the guest room downstairs. First one to come visit gets to initiate it!
We now have a functional shower, toilet and sink in the basement. But you can't initiate the shower because Mal has been using it just for the novelty of it!
This is the sink in the washroom. As you can see, we still need to get a mirror and medicine cabinet. Other than that, it's pretty much done!
17th Birthday. Turned out pretty good, didn't he?

Today was a beautiful blue-on-white day. I couldn't resist taking my camera and capturing some of it.
A friend's yard.
Good ol' country barbed wire.
In our church cemetary.
White on black.
After 2 days of fog we had beautiful, thick hoar frost!
I'd say it ws about 3/4 inch thick.
Makes everything look beautiful.
Too bad I didn't have a blue sky to contrast it. Maybe tomorrow!
Our house is finished its hail damage repair and we made some changes; new stone beside the garage door, new people door into the garage, and black trim instead of green.
Magan, do you remember when Jon played the chef for you?
In high school, this was a pretty big stretch for Jon to produce!
The fundraiser held Saturday night was to help Darrell and Jess finance their trip to Africa to complete their adoption of twin girls. It was a great success, and we are so thankful for all the friendships and support. They raised enough to pay for the four tickets needed to bring them all home. What a blessing!
It included a steak dinner, a jazz band, and a silent auction. Close to 200 people came.
Darrell and Tim both play in the jazz band, but Darrell took the night off. Tim is the drummer.
Kaleb having fun with Grandma Schmidt.
The friends at our table bought some of the stoneware I brought for the auction. So glad they went to good homes!
