Gran's new digs

Here's gran on her first day in her new condo...and she almost has everything upacked...amazing... she loves the island and the cupboards..but mostly she is excited to have a real fridge and most importantly a stove...she said that she will bake bread tomorrow.

This is the living room with a gas fireplace and a patio on the main level...if she is still here in the spring we can have flowers in pots for her...


The suite is quite large...as you can see, there is even room for her to have her table in chairs in a proper place....
The door on the left is the entry and just to the left of the mirrored doors (closet) is the laundry room...to the right of the closet is the second bathroom...and to the right of that is the second bedroom
This is the masterbedroom with ensuite...nice large shower and walk in closets...
And this is gran making her way to her chair so the she could pose for the picture that appears irst...you can see how bright it will be with the patio doors.... she appears to be very happy.

Safari 2005

You have to wonder about taking 3 1/2 years to get it sorted but we have our safari pictures up. The picture beside the masks that you and Alvin brought is the one I took with the 7 elephants ..we cropped the picture and it is 12"X36"...and it is really stunning.
On the far left we have pictures of the kids at BSA playing soccer, the pictures to the right of them are both of the Zambezi...one from the deck of the Royal Livingstone, the other from the booze cruize....then the 20x20 is of the baobab tree that Wally took...and on the right is the great shot that Wally took of the elephant...where you can see the eyelashes....
Here is the painting that Lawrence Kenakin did for us for my retirement
Gran sits and enjoys the living room...this is on Thanksgiving Monday while dinner is cooking...
And here is your ma in deep thought or conversation...did you notice how the furniture positions have changed from gran's phot to mom's????
