Stone Walls, Sewing Machines and Speeding Tickets..

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day and it gave me a good opportunity to finish wall 1 of 6. This first wall is made of red drywall, it's 3 1/2 feet tall and 14 feet long. Wall two will be tumbled buff drywall and will be the same length and height. I think it's all going to turn out pretty rockin! Now only 5 more walls to go and then the 6 different patio displays and I'm ready for our spring selling season. I just have to keep telling myself one thing at a time or the rock yard becomes overwhelming with all the projects I have in mind.

On to more domestic things... Stella got her first sewing machine for Christmas this year. We finally got a chance to bust it out and start sewing together strip of material just to get a feel for it. The sewing machine is a real beauty. This weekend Stella and I plan on hitting up JoAnne Fabric and finding some fun fabric she can start working on. I should put a disclaimer to this and say that I'm learning to sew right along with Stella. Its my mom that's teaching us! THANKS MOM!





On a final note. I had to drive to Alamosa yesterday to fight a speeding ticket. It was a REALLLLY long drive and I'm thankful that I had my brother along for company and it gave us a great opportunity to catch up. We got down there at noon and waited for the judge, explained why I was caught speeding (there really was a good reason) and the DA dropped all the charges and we were on our way back home! WOO-HOO, no points, no fines just a long drive. And in case you were wondering what my reason for speeding was.... I was on a two lane highway with a speed limit of 65 and in Colorado the law states you can accelerate past the speed limit in order to pass someone. Well I got clocked at 78 in a 65 right after I had just passed someone and I hadn't had a chance to slow down yet. The kicker was that there were 4 other people that were tagged by the same cop for doing the same thing.
I have made it a goal since last year to not speed anymore and I have been really good about it. Here's to safe driving....... :)

Change.....

It's time for a change.  I've been wanting to switch blog platforms for quite sometime and just wasn't finding the right one but thanks to a dear friend of mine I was turned onto squarespace. It's taken a minute or two to figure out this new platform but I'm loving it. I've imported all the old content from this blog and am ready to roll. In short, I've moved to a new neighborhood!!! Woot!  I'm humbled that even one person reads my ramblings but when my numbers started hitting the 1000's on a monthly basis I was blown away. For those of you who read this with love, THANK YOU and for those who don't THANK YOU as well. My gratitude runs deep for all of you...... Hope to see you here: www.linda-rokos-watts.squarespace.com

Just say no to mud season.....

It just won't stop!!  We were kinda hoping it would just long enough for Troy to get out of Summit County and on the west side of GlenWood Springs before another big storm came in.  Nope. Didn't happen. It's mud season and nothing unusually or unexpected and I'm sure we will get one or two more storms but.....BOOOOOO!!! Our backyard is pretty beautiful right now!  Bike all packed and ready to go!  We had a few great dinner parties this weekend and I can't say that I'm too bummed Troy isn't on the road. Sunday's snuggled up together watching movies while it dumps outside isn't so awful! Hope you'll are having a fabulous weekend!  Love and Gratitude! 

Weekend Madness!!

WHEW!!!! What a weekend! We got so much work done on the house! We started on Friday and worked pretty much straight through till tonight. With the exception of one little break for a small Halloween party for a few hours. The old kitchen counters. Ewww ! All the tile on the counters couldn't be pulled off without pulling all the plywood up so we decided to demolish it all and start fresh. We put down all new sub-flooring before the tile was to go down. It was kinda a pain in the butt but it made the tile laying much easier and level. With all the sub-flooring laid on Saturday, it was finally time to lay the tile today! Tuesday the grout gets put in and by Thursday we should be walking on it. Woot ! This weekend I also got Stella's room finally done. The colors look great. It's going to be a very warm and cozy room. Pictures of that soon! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and a fun Halloween! Much Love!
