Getting Ready for an Arizona Wedding Reception
The newlyweds have arrived in Arizona! They’ve left the cold, chill and frozen ice of Canada and have traded it for a month of sunshine. The cabin (VRBO) will be their abode and our second guests!

Both openings into the bedroom can be closed off with the sliding doors. The kitchen sink, counter and bottom cabinets still need to be built and installed. (I think that will be next week.) It’s such a nice comfortable place! (Click on this link to see…

The bathroom wall behind the tub looks so pretty but unfortunately that will be covered once the tub sides go in. A loft that can be used for storage. Windows and doors are some of the big things that need to be done this week. And that’s the update for now.

My Young Entrepreneur’s
I mentioned on my Thanksgiving post of a little cabin we are building. Here is the story. Several months ago Audrey was inspired to have her own vacation rental by owner. She had been to see her cousins and one of them had taken a rental that they rented monthly and turned it into a vacation rental. Audrey mentioned it to her daddy and he thought it was a good idea, so the brain started spinning with possibilities and the idea was born. We live away from town and neighbors. As a matter-of-fact our nearest neighbor is 3 miles away. A cabin could be built next door, capitalizing on the gorgeous view and…
