Ed Sheehan - Thinking Out Loud

And because I've been terrible about posting 

on my blog, here's a little extra something.

I told Lexx when she gets married she has to use

this song in her wedding :)

 

BTW, the dancer in this video is Ed Sheehan,

the singer .  Pretty awesome!

 

Thanksgiving

There has been lack of post here on

the ole McComb blog because I've 

spent the last several weeks preparing 

to have Thanksgiving at our house.

Although preparing to have several people

at your house is lots of work, it is so much fun.

Todd and I both agree we need to have at least

one family get together per year

(If nothing else, just to get projects finished around the house).

There were only about 15 people in attendance, 

so it was a pretty small gathering.

I also did it pot luck style.

I made the turkey, mashed potatoes, 

stuffing and cranberry salad.

Everybody else brought food 

and a bottle or two of wine.

I didn't get any pictures of the food

because I was too busy running around,

and my good camera is in camera heaven,

so I left the picture taking to my daughter 

and her smart phone.

Here are a few of the pictures we managed to take.

My mom, mother-in-law, Uncle Lynn, and Brie.

The food was fantastic and the company, great!

Overall I would say it was a success.

Can't wait to do it again next year!

 

Preparing for Thanksgiving

Interior Decorating

A couple of weeks ago Todd and I went

over to his Uncle Lynn's house to help

him decorate his fireplace.

 

Lynn had just had hip surgery and was

unable to climb a ladder in order to

mount the decorations to the wall.

Todd volunteered to help, so we took

a couple hours out of our weekend to

get Lynn's house beautified!

 

I love the way it turned out,

and had to share a couple of pictures.

Lynn was up and about using his walker.

 

I couldn't believe how well he was

 doing after his hip surgery!

Todd climbed the ladder and did the manual labor

while Lynn stood back and supervised.

Here is the final outcome.

 

Lynn and I bantered back and forth

on how the snow shoes should be placed

(He liked them closer to the antlers,

I liked them further out.)

He of course won because,

well, it's his house and he can do

whatever he wants!

And a little closer look at the final product.

 

His house is coming along beautifully.

I can't wait to see all the other

cool projects Lynn has in store in the near future.

 

So, what do you think?

Did Lynn make the right call?

Does it matter, cause he won't change it anyway!
