The Best Sandwich

Image
Ham, turkey bacon, provolone, chipotle mayo, fresh tomatoes and onions on a piece of nan bread. Sure I can't get good pizza but this sandwich will do for now.

Minnesota Weekend

Image
"If you find yourself a tourist in the town you grew up in..." So I'm back in Minnetonka and I realize I can't remember the highway names and stores that were once there are no longer there. It's been 16 years since I was last a resident, so I guess the memory lapse is understandable. We had a great weekend. We rented a minivan for the 6-hour drive through Wisconsin. The Mall of America is not the cheesey destination of my youth, but an upscale family destination where we had an awesome time.  Then we went to Uncle Bob's to play in the pool, jump on the tramp and rides around Lake Minnetonka on a motor boat. Fantastic time. On the Car Ride Nic and Dave on the Boat Ready to Tube The Merry-Go-Round at the MOA 

The Lamp Project

Image
The Before This lamp was left in the house when we bought it. Kinda funny looking and no shade. It was set to a timer and it's purpose was making it look like someone was home while the house was empty and on the market. Not one for tossing out a perfectly functional lamp, I turned it into a project. The After I started by sanding and power-washing the dust off. Then I set up a spray painting center in the garage. I was going to paint it several colors like blue and yellow, but it looked silly. So I sprayed it all white. The shade I found at Target for $20.
