Father's Day weekend 2021

We had a couple of guests for Father's Day weekend...

Out for ice cream on Friday:  

The whole group again at The Tavern, after a day of working on the deck (thanks, Mike) and finishing the move back into our house:

My new kit for making an Old Fashioned (cocktail) at home:

The results:

Had the chance to relax and listen to a record on Sunday (while drinking an Old Fashioned):

Thanks to R and the kids for making the weekend so special. Happy Father's Day to my dad, my father-in-law, and all of the other good dad's out there!

The kitchen post

Our kitchen remodel was our defining event of the first half of this year.

The old kitchen was ripped out to the studs:

We were stuck using the kitchenette in our basement for two months during this process. I missed the dishwasher and the counter space so much! This what the area looked like after dinner most evenings:

We had to move out of the entire main floor of the house in order to have the floors refinished and the walls painted. The place looks nicely freshened up now:

Here's a look at the new kitchen (before we fully moved back into it):

We'll be adding some color and warmth to it with towels, rugs, etc.

The fridge is in a new location:

My favorite part of the remodel is having a counter that we can sit at. I've been looking forward to slinging pancakes over to the kids on Saturday mornings.

I'm sure there will be more photos of the space to come... We do spend a lot of time in the kitchen!
