Memorial weekend was really fun. If you haven't been to the southern oregon coast..you MUST put it on your list of must see's. According to Eric, it was lit up and stupid windy. I got myself a killer windersurfer tan (face and hands) while the wind kicked up enough sand for a great microderm peel. Here are some shots!

Let the DIY construction begin! (Again)
Well, here we go again. Time to start our regular trips to the lumber yard, the big orange man-store, and the hardware store. It's time to begin round 2 on the home upgrades. Now this little house was never meant to be a mansion or a luxury home or even a modern dwelling. It's just a simple little corner of the earth that keeps us dry, it's comfortable, and it's safe. Someday our dreamhome will come...and near the beach, of course!
For those of you that don't recall last years' projects...they included: New kitchen, new living room, new bathroom, and new Jace's bedroom. We can't forget the new roof!
This year...we are converting the board-shop into our master bedroom, and turning our current bedroom into office/guest space. The board-shop is moving into a new shed (our old carport) and the big toys are moving into a new shed behind the house. That reminds me! I gotta go pick up the piant and paint that shed before we hit the 80s today.

New found freedom
Jace turned 15 this weekend! This young man has a newfound freedom and it's called Amtrak. Yes, that's right. He can now ride, get on AND get off the Amtrak without adult supervision. What does that mean for us?! No more pick-ups and drop-offs to Portland ever other weekend!!!!! Whooopppie! O happy day. The best part is that the station is 3 blocks from our house.

Last days of snowboarding
This is the last open weekend at Mt. Hood Meadows. There is still over 10 ft of snow to enjoy. However, the days are too warm, even on top of my local glacier, to keep the snow cold enough to be slippery. Eric and I took our final runs of the season yesterday, but we were happy to put our flip-flops back on when we got to parking lot. See you next season Mt. Hood Meadows!
