This is my grandbaby Gaven.

I can't wait to see him in person in August!

Gaven's a "Rock Star"

My what big ears you have!

Sweet Stephen

I wanna learn to play this like my Mommy!

Now this is what we love about Tampa Bay

Good beach food and drink, with good friends (Mary, Uncle Johnny and Robert)

A soothing setting sun.

Gary & Beer (Jimmy Buffet impersonator)

And that final view of the setting sun on Clearwater Beach

(and a boatload of tourists to boot!)

What more could we ask for?

Ahhh, I love the summer!

Our Summer Project Begins

Before...

During......

.........................and After....

See the sequence of construction below!

This is how our story transforms.

In the beginning, tub and toilet in one room,

wall between tub and vanity

Wall ripped out, thanks to Joel & Gary

Joey, the plumber replumbs and installs shower pan

The bare vanity is installed

And the wonderboard goes up to start the tiling.

Oh, yes, it continues, see the next posting...

Still moving pretty slowly, but look at those special features!

Shower tiling is almost complete.

The border is starting to move along swiftly now.

Look at that shabby drywall, above, and the finished drywall below.

Joey, our plumber came in today...
its starting to look like a real bathroom!
It's really getting close now, but we still need electrical work, and the glass panels.

Finally, Independence Day...

We finished the project.

Awe, we deserve a nice long, hot shower!
