Sorry friends, I have taken summer break seriously and have not been in the mood to blog. I have been busy enjoying life and warm summer weather and the last thing I've been feeling like doing is sitting downstairs in my basement like a troll and blogging. So here I am, back at least for today.
Most of you know that Neil and I along with our kids, LOVE Kelleys Island. For years we would talk about having a cottage on the island and being able to enjoy the island as much as we wanted. Well we didn't want to get old and that still be a dream that never became a reality. Sooooooo, we just did it, we decided to make it happen. Our journey has been, to say the least, a huge adventure! As much as we would have liked to hand contractors a bunch of checks and a blueprint and say, "Call us when it's done." The reality was, if this is something that we really, really want, we would have to do most of it ourselves and it will get done, when it gets done. So we set out on this journey on a wing and a prayer (actually many prayers) to make it to this point... Neil has been writing a blog to document the Our House Cottage project and I would love to share it with all of you. So if you are curious, take a look at a snip-it into our dream come true, Our House Cottage http://kelleysislandcottage.blogspot.com
I did say above that "we" had to do most of it ourselves but let me just clarify that I probably shouldn't have used "we" as my word of choice. I need to be truthful here and say that my husband Neil has busted his butt, spent countless days, hours and weekends doing the work up there along with our dear family and friends. While I do help when I can, the kids need taking care of, so that's the trade-off.
Enjoy your summer days...
