Thanksgiving 2011

Mom, Doug and I headed out to the house to get it ready for that epic event, Xmas 2011. The place still needs paint -- except for our gorgeous sage master bedroom which was done by Pat and Jon this summer. We needed to get plenty of bedding, exactly 10 towels and a table at which to eat the figgy pudding and drink the egg nog.

Here's the view from the front door with Doug drinking a beer. He put up those old skool Xmas lights himself. We got the green table from Foster's Crossing, a local antique joint that just happens to serve up really tasty sandwiches for lunch.

Mom is stuck in the kitchen, preparing our meals to order. More importantly, aren't those wooden custom cabinets gorgeous? The kitchen opens into the living room and those are the stairs to the master bedroom.

Once you are up the stairs, you enter the master bedroom. Doug bought a great retro lamp that sets off the wood and green walls.

And here's a peek at our warm, wood shower.

It makes perfect sense to end with this pic, no?

Our photos of the house. Trip up at Turkey Day.

Here's the master bedroom on the second floor.

There she is. What a beauty. See the porch off the master bedroom?

This is the entry way. I love the wood planks.

Here's the view from the upper road at the back of the house. It's a tough view of the lake.

We walked up to the house past this view. It was slippery so we didn't want our rental car to make the trip.
