It has been an enlightening experience owning our first home. We have come a long way from being renters only 5 years ago. This house has been an ongoing project until the very last day. I just finished re-doing the upstairs bathroom yesterday!
I am thankful that I had the opportunity to turn this house into what it is today. Family and friends came together to donate countless hours of their time. We are very proud of our work and I had to do it justice in a final set of photos. I passed them on to our realtor to have them posted on our listing.
I could probably write several pages worth of sentiments about the adventure, but I’d rather speak in photos. The slideshow begins in July 2005 with a pregnant Bridget walking around the house with our realtor. It ends in February 2010, the day our realtor put the sign up.
I doubt anyone will get as much satisfaction from these photos as me, but I hope it at least provides an entertaining insight into our huge DIY project.
Sad news! As we rolled up to the strip mall, we were shocked to find our beloved Moy Moy’s Chinese restaurant closed. Everything was stacked up and cleared out.
Moy Moy’s became my Dad’s favorite place for Chinese food. He went there practically every Saturday for the past 10 years. Hopefully we can get some closure on what happened.
Cincinnati Saturday’s will never be the same. I have never found Chinese food as good as Moy Moy’s.
Photo note: This photo came from my 35mm Lomo LCA archives. It’s hanging in my Dad’s basement office.
On Tuesday, the meeting started quite early by Brazilian standards. Only a handful of our group arrived in time to start, so we delayed things a bit. As each one came in late, they made a comment about how bad the traffic was. The coffee flowed like water all through the day. The catered food consisted of light sandwiches and pastries. This was a contrast to the generally heavy snacks we consume during our US meetings. Doubletree cookies anyone?
