We should have taken some 'before' pictures. But here is where I started.
Their kitchen ~ Terry & Jan helped Erik, Yuriko, Elwood & I
take out the flooring and start washing walls and stripping wallpaper.
Yuriko and Sammy, the Korean student who lives with them
~ deciding on colors.
The guys had taken the paneling off of the wall behind them.
Chaco trying to decide where was a safe place to have a nap!
The wall is coming down!
Yuriko's hand at the bottom trying to entice Chaco to put her face there.
Only so-so successful!
Connie ~ a former Saskatchewanite now living in Kelowna ~
came and helped wash walls.
The painting has begun ~ even with make-shift scaffolding.
The transformed front entrance
Yuriko working her magic on the book case
Now onto the kitchen.
And that is how we left them....
Oh we wish we could have had two more weeks there!!
~~~
We drove to Terry & Jan's and had a quick coffee in White Rock
Loved seeing the wavy, stormy ocean.
We stopped in to visit Betty M who is 101 years old.
She is a cousin to Elwood's Dad and we had such a wonderful visit.
An amazing sharp centenarian.
On the way back to our flight in Seattle we stopped in and saw some of the Thomas's kids. Even thought it was such a quick visit, it was so wonderful to see them! We just wished we had a longer time to visit all our neices and nephews in that area!!
Erik & Yuriko have since sent a couple of up dates.
Things are looking better.
The cupboards painted and the wall completely down.
Wow!!
