The new house has some choice, and some not so choice, finds.

suspiciously similar, don't you think? ...

compare and contrast: pantries

We are lucky to have kitchens with good storage space - including a pantry that we added in the old water heater location.  Her's a compare and contrast of that space.  First, CAC and JC's pantry.  The outside fittingly features information on meat.  The inside is where all the precious bread ingredients are stored, as well as the "medium dog" toy that CAC bought for Marla, the 14lb dog.  Sometimes Marla gets to play with it (she loves it), but only for a short time lest she give herself a concussion with the oversized balls.

Next, llh and EG's pantry.  The outside is the original chalkboard paint project with a decal from Shanna Murray.  Inside, there are knitting projects, tools, and lots of dog toys stuffed into the dog travel bag that Marla refuses to even consider (imagine a 14lb dog completely spread eagle and rigid as we attempt to lower her into it....not pretty....she's definitely not having it).

Other than dog toys, what do these two spaces share?  Shopping bags, step ladders, and vacuums!

Compare and Contrast; light fixtures

One of the few fixtures that differs apartment to apartment is the light fixture above our breakfast counters.  The comparison is quite representative!

contrast and compare: BROTHERS!

 Last weekend there was the sibling convergence equivalent of a solar eclipse: both cac and llh's brothers were at Fort Ruby!  Here they are, two awesome guys who have helped us through many steps at Fort Ruby:
