Still pulling together living room/formal sitting room

We will probably put a tv on the wall above the table. I kinda liked this piece because it reminded me of a fireplace and mantle. It’s simple and kinda farmhouse/rustic like the rest of the room. This room was empty and we called it the puppy room, but bit by bit it’s becoming one of our favorite rooms in the house.

 

Piper’s first taste of McDonald’s egg and cheese biscuit!

 

Tyler and Emily love playing pickleball!

 

Recovery is coming along…

 

My surgery was a success!!!

 Answered prayers!🙏🙏🙏 I’m so grateful that the root of my meniscus wasn’t torn and the surgeon was able to just trim it and clean the meniscus up. Because the root was attached, instead of wearing a brace for 6 weeks with a rough 6 month recovery, it will be a much easier and quicker recovery. He said I will feel good, so don’t overdo it. I will take it slow and follow the doctor’s orders however. I have physical therapy this Friday! Also he said the arthritis in my knee is very minor!

Lovely surgical cap and gown, lol!

Sweet Pea! 💗🫛

 

Can you find the green snake in the picture???

 Scott was cutting bushes and then zoned in!😳😳😳

Green snake was a nice snake!😉

Ellie went for a 6 hour hike today up and down a mountain in Nagoya!

 

I’m so impressed. It is super hot there and to climb 3 hours up and 3 hours down is insane!
