I have been looking for a new camera for myself, and I finally decided on the Canon PowerShot A570 IS from buydig.com. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but with free shipping and no sales tax, it was really a good deal. This camera got great reviews, and shouldn’t be too difficult for me to use. Now I will have a camera with me wherever I go, so I can take lots more pictures!!

Here are some photos of the outside of the house. The first one is the “before” shot–taken when we first arrived. Then there are shots of the back-prep done, not painted; and the front-some paint on. The last two show the finished product. The back is a little hard to see because of the angle and the lighting, but that was the best I could get. The whole house is a gray with some blue accent in the front, and white trim. The white will stand out a little more when the gutters are put on–they will be white, too. Chimney work is next, then gutters, and the outside will be done!!
We have been working here at the house for more than two weeks straight so yesterday we went shopping. I am looking for an inexpensive digital camera for myself so I don’t have to use Kevins, but we got to the mall and never quite made it to Wal-Mart to look at cameras. We(my Mom and I) scoured the clearance racks at Macys and Pennys during their big 4th of July sale. The sale had started a few days before so the racks were picked through fairly well, but we still found a few things that we didn’t need!!
It is quite warm today here in Seattle, so we are working on some outdoor projects, as well as geting the inside ready for painting. We are expecting the outside painter sometime today, and the inside painters will be here tomorrow. While they are working, we will just be in the way, so we are hard at work today. Hopefully once the whole house is painted, the hardwood floors can be refinished, the tile can go in, and it will start looking like a whole different house!!
Kevin was standing on the top of the motorhome taking pictures of the new roof on the rental house when he noticed something on the detatched garage in the back yard. Our cat had somehow gotten on the garage roof!! It backs up to a fairly steep hill, but it was still a surprise to see her sitting there so comfortably. She apparently was able to climb down just as easily…
