Jessie & Kenny really liked the bounce houses too.

There were lots of ways to burn off the excess energy too.

This machine grinds whole kernels of corn into cornmeal.

I would like to see this one working out in the field.

They had some really nice tractors on display too.

All the kids got to ride on this cute bucket ride!

Today, Saturday September 27th our family went to the Homesteads Apple Festival right here in Crossville. We had a great time! You can look at the website for pictures of the tower at:

Painting Kitchen

Here is a picture of the Kitchen/dining room area. The boys loved the busy colors, but the words "hellter skelter" came to my mind! When you are in the room you just can't relax!

So, here is a picture of the new warm color. Much nicer! I will still need to finish the bar and put up a matching border, but it really brings out the pictures.

We made a cupcake tree for his birthday cake for something different. He loved it!

New Home

We are finally moved - yeah! This sign was made years ago by Chris' dad for his father (Chris' grandfather). It hung over their doorway in Ocoee, FL for over 30 years.

Here is my little garden area.

My first gazing ball.

My kitchen is full of apples and gingerbread men.

Here is my craft corner - with my mom for inspiration.

And here is the computer desk area.

"Some people see things as they are and say, Why?

I dream of things that never were and say, Why not?"

This is the paint job in the master bedroom, interesting.

Okay, I know this picture is crooked but it is hard to hold a camera up over your head straight! I was trying to get a picture of the roof. However, just over everyone's heads is a tree going straight up - this is the dead tree that needs to be removed.

Here is the nice gas stove. See how it looks funny against the cream colored wall? I think we can sell this on Local Sales Network so we can purchase the black one I found.

Here is the dishwasher. I think I can remove the white panel and use appliance paint and do it black too.

This is the light in the dining room, I am hoping we can move it to in front of the sliding glass doors.

This is what all the countertops and sink tops is made of - Formica. The color is Bayou Dust. If you look closely you can see teal, black, cream and cranberry. This is why I want to get black appliances, the white looks funny!

This is the wall to the left of the sliding glass door. You can see the kitchen counter hangs over enough for our bar stools.

There is a nice little area when you step in the door that has wood looking floor.

This is a closeup of our living room wall facing the front. In the living room they painted below the border a teal color.

This is on the right as you walk through the front door. The first door on the left is the children's bathroom. The second door on the left is the linen closet (below). Then their bedrooms are in the end and on the right.

This is the same from the same place looking a little further left. I would like to put the dining room table here so we can look out the sliding glass doors like we used to in Florida.

Windows have one pane of glass, screens and another storm window too.

This is the living room fan.

There are air vents over the doors.

There are some rubs in this room too.

This is one of the walls in the kids rooms. Whereas the stains do not start at the top and go down the realtor thought it was staining from a leaky waterbed. The ceilings throughout the house are spotless. (this is in the opposite end of the home from the water heater. This is an outside wall.)

This is one of the children's bedrooms.

Walk in closets with lights in them too.

Vents in the bathrooms.

This is the children's bathroom - all to themselves!!!!
