Hickory

While Ollie and I were painting it up last weekend, Jahred, Axel and my in-laws were hard at work updating our kitchen floor.  We chose Hickory, a hardwood with lots of color variation.  I couldn't be more thankful for their hard work as we can now make emergency runs from the tree house to the bathroom without worrying about carpet.  Thought it would be the perfect opportunity to show off my new Dansko shoes as well.  LOVE THEM.  They are sooo "me."

*Revised

I forgot to mention earlier today that while tearing apart our kitchen to install the flooring, we found this Christmas card underneath the counter.

There's no year posted, but Brad, Lori, Paul and M? sure are a swell looking bunch.  Love the Zubaz!  Classic.

I try to learn a lesson each day, and that day I learned: Never send out a Christmas card you would be embarrassed to see after 25 years trapped below a counter.

Wish I had a return address, I would send them a note...hoping to find them well, and better dressed.
