Oh My What?

Who knew that part of I-29 was washed away? We sure didn't! but it made our drive to Utah a little more interesting...if you like two hour detours. There has been crazy flooding in the upper and lower parts of Missouri, missing where we live which is great. We've all seen the news with some pictures of the flooding, but we got to see some of it up close before the detour.

The chandeliers are for my kitchen and hallway...when we actually have walls again :)

  1. [...] Checked floor! Very fun and vintage. I had already contemplated the idea of painting our porch floor when we build it. I have also contemplated painting one of the “kid” bedroom floors (I haven’t told My Honeypie yet, all of my ‘awesome’ ideas are sometimes a bit overwhelming)–but painting the kitchen floor didn’t occur to me yet.
