Christmas in Kansas City SNOW BOUND

Since our childhood, there have been few white Christmases during the holidays. This Christmas broke all snowfall records in Kansas City and Washington, DC. We were extremely fortunate that our holiday travels were not delayed by these record snow storms. We enjoyed the best of times with our grandson and his family as we all coped with cabin fever and walks to the local stores. Surly, this will be a Christmas in 2009 which we all will remember for years to come when we have no WHITE Christmas to enjoy.

Condo in the SKY "Final Moments"

Our view from below the top open balcony our condo community also enjoys the privacy from each bedroom view.

With the New Year fireworks for 2010 exploding outside our condo, we began to gather our final tasks and forge ahead with eager anticipation of completing the most critical tasks before February. We all need private time in our condo to prepare for the Spring activities of the new year.

Family Artwork Revisited

Expressions from Kelly, Christopher and Gail suggest their may be another artist in the family waiting to find their moment of self expression in the future.

Christopher continues family tradition

Chris's first Thanksgiving family meal was fit for royalty. We all ate until we could eat no more. Even Maggie was a happy cat that day. Not even she could find room for dessert.

Condo in the SKY captures LIGHT

The winter sun shines brightly into the major living area of our condo while we wait for another spectacular sunset each day. Once our new furnishing arrive, we will enjoy the efforts it took to remove two walls to create this large open space in the sky.

Condo in the sky Memories

Our fire marshal visit to the condo was a long awaited event. With his approval we could finally close the soffits in the new big room and install the final wood flooring. Such an event sent everyone into an accelerated renovation frenzy.

Condo in the SKY rush to FINISH again

Forces were assembled to complete as much as possible before we travel for a week. Will the change orders from the clients ever end? Everything looks wonderful but there is always room for those small modifications like redoing the big room ceiling at the final hour.
