August-September 2020: Random Sampler

More photos to throw together this year. Working from home gives Mike and I more time to eat together, go on long walks, go on bike rides, see family, work on my Blog, and watch a lot of TV series, movies, and other shows.

Steak Fried Rice--yum

We had a gorgeous pink-orange sun in Albuquerque
 during the haze from wild fires in other western states

One day we went to my mom's house and ripped out the old carpet and padding from one of her spare bedrooms, revealing beautiful hardwood flooring. We returned a week or so later and primed and painted the walls an Antique White, washed the windows, and hung new curtains to create a computer room for Vernon.


I spent several hours in the Emergency Room at Lovelace
Women's Hospital after experiencing chest pain and discomfort

September 1st: Mike and I celebrated our 40th Anniversary
(40 years from the first day we met in 1978)
with Sushi at Hayashi Japanese Restaurant


Delicious

Our xeriscaped front yard with some new flowering plants



Our house with the copper colored metal roof and the cement driveway 

The Crepe Myrtle near the new retaining wall that supports the driveway


Our inner Courtyard with new plants


My mom's new xeriscaped front yard that replaces her dying grass

I painted our bedroom wood valances (with the inlaid latillas) a light gray


The new roller shade made it necessary to modify the wood valance to fit over the door again. Our good friend Rob Sorensen fixed the valance for us. He's a master craftsman, especially with wood.
