More Visiting! Green Grass, Curtains and Coffee

Recently, our place has been a haven for the winter beleagered!

Mom and Dad--that is, Abby's Mom and Dad--have come south for a visit! Proving to themselves that snow does not in fact cover the entire earth. We even have green grass and flowers:


green grass (and a dog, but he's not ours)

The sun has made several appearances, and we've even opened windows in our long little house.  Mom and I have gotten in some lovely girl time (shopping, coffee shops, more shopping, etc.) I tried Starbuck's new cocoa cappuchino (iced) but was unimpressed with their grainy rendition of chocolate. It was good, but it wasn't great. It looked cool though:

The men have generously played with drills, hammers, screws and such:

 Our master bedroom has taken large steps this weekend toward looking respectable. Curtains go a long way when it comes to communicating habitation beyond the transient dorm room feel.

After all that work hanging curtains we had steak for dinner and watched Live Free Or Die Hard. Don't worry, Mom and I spent the first half of the day at JoAnn's purusing the clearance and making shrewd use of coupons, so it wasn't an entirely manly day.

Not that I'd mind, being a bit of a tomboy.
