February In and Around Tessadora Manor

This winter Rock totally remodelled and customized my laundry room for me. It is just awesome. I have new cabinets all over the place with shelves all over the place......he also painted the entire room and I got my purple wall. All kitty paraphernalia, litter box and food is hidden in the corner under the counter, which I love. This was a room with nothing much in it but makeshift places to set stuff. My husband has become the best cabinet maker and is just doing such great things to this, my Tessadora Manor.....love it. Another room done with few left to go. Way to go Rock.

NEWS FLASH:

Wow. The first week of February was a marathon week, but I am happy to report that in the end it all worked out wonderfully. November is the month of the big family reunion in Israel. We leave the 11th for Amsterdam and the kids leave the 12th. Rock and I will have a day and night alone in my favorite city of the world and one to which he has not been. All the kids arrive next day...we will watch Amya quite a bit while they enjoy the city. Neither Brian nor Danielle has ever been. Only Dionne and I have been, twice!! On the 15th, we all, on the same plane, leave for Tel Aviv even though we arrive there at the "unGodly" hour of 2:15 a.m. The kids return to the US of A on November 28 and Rock and I decided to stay on for a week, leaving TelAviv on December 8th and home to Keller on December 9th. Believe me, this took days of coordination, surfing and phone time, coordinating award miles tickets, purchasing miles shortages, transferring miles and purchasing two full cost tickets on two different airlines!! But I "got er done!" to quote my hubby. Way to go Tess. We are all very excited.

February was such a Spring like month this year, we have been able to take many sunny day walks to the mailbox and back. I love the pictures of our "slice of paradise!"

We also took a sunny Superbowl Sunday drive to Omak. You will see the blue sky and the new rest stop in Nespelem, which makes me so happy. I don't have to wait till Omak now!!
