Haan Cousins Luncheon

I know I should probably be doing some blogging about our wonderful trip to Washington but that will take more time than I have on this Tuesday. Last Friday we had a Haan Cousins Luncheon - originally there were 11 first cousins - there are 6 left. Jake lives in Atlanta and wasn't able to be here and Betty left before we got the cameras out. Dad is the youngest of all the cousins and definitely the baby of the group. The two girls in the picture are sisters. We had a GREAT time visiting all afternoon. We really should get together more than just once a year but then that's better than it was at one time when we only saw each other at funerals.

Below is the cousins plus spouses - don't we all look nice.

I wish I would have taken pictures much earlier of Amy and Kurt's remodeling project. This is Chase's room and hopefully it will soon be ready the awesome decorating job that Chase and his Gramma are going to do. Chase is coming for a couple of days this week and I think we'll do some drawings of what he might like. Then, of course, we have to run them by mom to get the OK. As soon as the taping is done on the drywall, Chase and Gramma are going to paint together - a real bonding experience.

This is the closet with a little cubby next to it. I think it would be really cute with some shelving and bright red baskets or tubs on it. What do you think?

Before I sign off, look at this beauty!! Who is she? That's a million-dollar question.

I'm off to FINALLY get started on my computer room. Washed the bedspread that was lying on the floor at the laundromat this morning after I went to the gym and now will tackle the desk first. Wish me luck. I'll post pictures of before and after just to keep myself positive and encouraged.

Sam & Holly, I hope your first day of school went terrifically! (I think that's a word.) Talk to you soon.

Love to you all!!

MOM and Gramma
