They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Maybe the crazy gene has finally caught up with me, since I kept trying to make my old camera work, and voilĂ !

I was actually surprised by how much better the house looks – I guess I’d forgotten last year’s “construction site” look. In the second picture, you can (just barely) see Audrey to the right, and Roscoe running down the stairs.

Next month, it will be a year since I moved here. On the day I moved in, Rose’s daughters and their families scattered her ashes in the ocean. Somehow it seemed like a good omen, an ending and a beginning.

    I would say there’s quite an improvement, it shows the effort that you put in. One year already, time sure does go by fast does it not.

    Such a sweet little house! You’ve done a lot of hard work.

    What a difference a year makes! Great improvements I would say.
