Weekend trip to Mackinac Island

I have been slacking with updates here; I guess it comes with being busy and trying to enjoy the summer that is already starting to come to an end. Perhaps instead of long posts that end up as drafts for far too long, I will start using this for some short posts here and there.

We got yet another shipment of jigsaw puzzles from Blue Kazoo the other day. We have been impressed with the quality of the puzzles and even the time put into the packaging. I hate to make the comparison, but it’s what you would expect if Apple were the company behind the packaging and the product. The new shipment of jigsaw puzzles includes some artistic ones that look like they will be a challenge but will look fantastic once completed, as well as some new Atari puzzles they were licensed to create. We ( I should say Nicole as I get too frustrated with trying to do puzzles) are looking forward to every one of these puzzles! ...

Over the holidays we took a trip to Chicago to visit family and Cole and I took a trip to the Museum of Science of Industry. While I have been to Chicago a handful of times at this point, I had never made it to the museum so I was excited to go. [envira-gallery id=‘12918’]

The weather finally started to make a change for the best, so I could get out and paint the trim around the new door. Sadly I didn’t get a picture with out the tape… ohh well you can get the idea. You can check out the before and after with the slider below.
