Kitchen Remodel...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days!


This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape?



Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place.






Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end wall had to be butted up against the new addition wall and the beam was there already
Working in here is a pleasure now that i have some more room to work . With all the bodies that are in the kitchen sometimes, we needed the space . And the best part , i got to haul all my old stuff out of storage and display it....

  2. Lovely Kitchen. I like the sunshine pouring in on those pictures. Your shack on the hill is turning into a very nice house.

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day...

Pictures Of Summer 2012, now That Its History. . .

I am so far behind, I'm not even gonna try to catch up on our summer! Did we even HAVE summer??? Me thinks the years are flying by too fast! We had a relaxing Sunday afternoon today, Norvs mom and dad came up for lunch and Jay and April and the girls. . . Its been almost six weeks since hip surgery for my MIL, she's about ready to get rid of her walker! That'll be a wonderful sight to see her walk without it. Its been getting colder every night and raining for the past few days, knocking all those beautiful yellow leaves of of my maples in the front yard!  We've started raking them into huge piles. But its wasted effort till they are all off. The snow is covering the mountain tops now so one of these days its gonna get us! :) We celebrated our 18 th anniversary the 8th of October! Norv had to fly to Seattle that weekend and Julianna had her 8th birthday, so we are gonna do a gateway later. This time of the year is always a little hard to get nice wea...

50th Wedding Anniversary

These bull whips were a hit! I even managed to crack one (when no one was looking!) It was a fun filled week that ended not so good with flu bugs flying around , but we had a good time honoring Norv's folks  for their 50 years of marriage! The weather didn't always cooperate and it wasn't the warmest either but we had a nice big pavilion and a nice big fire roaring, lots of coffee, lots of food and  lots of gabbing and catching up with family we don't see very often! The whole reason for the Skrivseth Reunion/ 50th Wedding Anniversary  celebration Elv , Arla and the kids at home yet, from Wisconsin Ivan , Dena and Family from SC Evie came from Ohio Dayton, Judy,Alex, Gilbert, Benjamin,Rebecca and Jonathan Eric and Jared  Our family Bruce, Shilah and kids Matt , Amy and boys Jay ,April , Olivia and Jemima One afternoon we all toured the houses and lands of us kids that live here, here we are at Shilah's ...
