This is the neat little display
cabinet that is built in next to 
the fireplace....(it was here)


Beth has her keepsakes in there....

Her elephant mug collection
that she and her mother
worked on....


They are Republican mugs....
she has all of them --
from 1968 - 2009
when they stopped making them.

On the year the Republican president is
elected the name of the President and 
Vice President is on the mug.
(no, I don't think she's a republican....
her mother just LOVED elephants!)

On the bottom she has some of her
favorite items....

Even her Barbie, Skipper and Ken doll....
yep, they are OLD!

Now the little room off the 
Living/Dining room....
Beth calls it her "Girl Cave"....

MAN CAVE too!  
Don't want to leave him out!

Well that's it!
Just wanted to share with you what I 
have been doing....
That's why I was gone for a few days
here and there....
not just goofing off!

Later -- Remington --
maybe I should be a designer....
what do you think?
-- out!

OMCs OMDs Rem thank goodness you are a big strong handsome Newfie. I bet it took lots of muscles to move the furniture around.
We love love love the elephant collection. I had no idea you could by those and the sleigh hanging on the wall is a very good focal and conversation piece. Oh Mom wants to know if those are lights on the ceiling in the last picture?
Hugs Madi your BFFF

You should def. be a designer Remington! I can see people saying, "Remi, what do you think of this?" Your new home is so beautiful! Looks like you have lots of room to run around, indoors and out. Tell Beth that I still have my Donnie and Marie barbies, and my Farrah Fawcett Charlie's Angels barbie. lol

Remington my sweet, what a beautiful job everyone did with the changes. Your home is gorgeous! Mommy is crazy for those built ins by the fireplace. She collects something called "precious moments" and has never had a good place to keep them. I hope I can come and visit soon and you can show me around. Have a good practice with the Packers and also a good game on Sunday. I will look for you on tv. Call me please

Hey Rem,
Your new home is so beautiful. The changes you have worked so hard to do are amazing. You certainly have a sense of style and I'm sure Beth and Mike really appreciate all the changes you have suggested. We (actually Mom) can't wait to see some winter photos.

Peace and Love,
Your Bro Leo, Grady and Mom.
