Donna's rooms get a facelift! (Back in March! I'm slow here!)

This is really far behind but I forgot about it till I saw the pics on the computer today!
Preparing their bedroom to paint
Mom started in the closet - I started on the ceiling
The bedroom things got put in the living room!
Their bedroom with the new flooring in and the walls painted!
I helped Mom with the painting and Bryan put the beautiful floors in!
The pretty bathroom all done!
The guest bedroom - my old room - is so warm feeling with it's newly painted golden yellow walls and the wood laminate flooring!
A broader view of the guest bedroom
Then a broad view of their beautiful bedroom as it is all put back together!
Again
Oops! Didn't mean to have this one again! But, it was a job that felt good to get done because the results were so nice!
Then lastly we have the computer room - or Sonja's old room!
It got it's walls painted pretty dark, but it looks great! It also got the wood laminate flooring like the other 2 bedrooms!
Well, that's all for now about the paint & renovations at Mom's house!

Cruisin'

Bryan and Sharon had a fabulous time cruising the Caribbean. We're ready to go again---any takers?!! Here are some photos of our wonderful, relaxing vacation. Here we are "up top." We weren't too sure the little life preserver would be much good if someone actually went overboard!!
Hangin' on the Lido Deck.

Beautiful Charlotte Amalie harbor on St. Thomas.


Orient Beach on St. Maarten. (The rock marks the dividing line between the nude beach and the public beach. Yes, we did get an eyeful!!)
