England Trip December 05

We went back to England last week for Suzanne's dad's 60th birthday - we only went for 6 days but it was a very packed 6 days and we were glad to be over there again.

- I tried to keep these pics in chronological order -




- belive it or not this is a two way road ^


- here's the proof ^


- Suzanne's parents house ^


- the neighborhood ^


- Claire's new car, and Bryan and Claire's flat behind it ^


- Bryan and Claire's new house they just bought ^


- the street its on ^


- its in Greenwich wich is on the south side of the river ^




we only got to meet up with all of our friends for one night unfortunately but we had a good time though -





















For Suzanne's dads 60th we went away to the west country for the night and stayed at "The Bear" on the way back we stopped in Oxford, it was very nice, here are some pics from that -

































On Monday it was Nana's 92 birthday so we went to see her and some of the rest of the family too -


- I took this picture at 2:50 in the afternoon, yeah winter sucks - ^




- the oldest family member with the youngest ^




- the Blue Ridge Moutains from the plane ^

Painting

We painted our living room over the weekend and also painted an accent wall in the dining room to tie it in more, after getting over the initial shock of the red in the dining room, we both love it -







- we bought this Shur-line edge trimmer thing for about 3 dollars, its says "No need to tape off anymore" I thought yeah right, but for 3 bucks I'll try it - it has to be one of the best inventions as far as painting technique inventions go - I hope they made a lot of money off it, I recommend all to buy if you are going to paint, it did the ceiling and all the window surround perfect, it probably saved us about 2 or 3 hours and buying a roll of tape - hooray!
