Happy Birthday Grandpa Tessendorf

On June 10, 2009 Grandpa Tessendorf turned 83. He has not been feeling well so we gathered today as a family to celebrate his youthfulness. Jerry, Denise, Steve, Dad, Arlene, Marc, the kids and I all came together to eat some of Grandpa's favorite cake. Grandma makes a home-made German Chocolate cake every year for Grandpa since it is his favorite. Happy Birthday Grandpa. We love you!!!

Weekend project...before and after

With so much to do because he is leaving out of town on Monday Marc was kind enough to finish our bathroom before he left. This project started a little over a week ago with a leaky faucet. Marc is very handy and can fix about anything. One evening I guess he had enough of the "drip, drip" and started to try and fix it. Well... within a few we were calling my dad for Arlene's number. Arlene owes a plumbing company and we knew she would have some answers for us. Her son Neil kindly came out that night to fix the pipes so we could turn the water back on to our house. With the shower pulled apart we thought this would be a good time to tile if we could find what we wanted. I think the shower looks great. Leaking faucets are not always a bad thing...if you get a new shower in the end.
