My First Slide Show!

Wow! I think it's working! This is my Flickr set on the house we bought last year in Yucca Valley, in the Southern California high desert. If you've heard of Joshua Tree National Park (yes, like the U2 album), it's the town next door.

Here is our remodeling journey on that house, our second. It was during this time that I discovered the blog RetroRenovation, and I sure would have made some decisions differently had I had all the resources and expertise from Pam and her readers before then! We learned a lot with this house, and we still own it (it's rented out) because of the bad market. There are many things I miss about the house. Let me know if you can tell what some of them are!

If you want to see the photos with all my titles and captions, just click on over to Flickr and choose the set "Yucca Valley house"

Goin' to the Desert

We're packed, we're getting ready to leave for an afternoon and evening at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA. Mostly to see this guy (a family favorite):

Brad Paisley! (Yes, I like some country music, too!)

We're going to spend the night in our house in Yucca Valley, where our lovely friend Katie now lives. Back some time tomorrow! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
