Thanks Jezzie. Love meeting the family. Kiran sure has grown a lot since I have seen his last picture. Kim looks entirely too young to have a stent with that much blockage. Hope she is feeling lots better. Hope those kids didn't put those pretzel sticks back on the table.

What a wonderful group and a nice evening together. Were you celebrating anything special? Not that your group needs anything special to celebrate with a family gathering like that.

Loretta: It was just the first time we saw the house Tara is renting.

On the pretzel sticks. Actually the pretzel sticks were out at my request.
I love pretzels.

I loved the family photos Jezzie!! As Loretta says, Kiran has grown so much, no little toddler as in my memories.

Looks like a nice place that Tara has rented too. I like seeing the kinds of houses there are in different parts of the states too.

My hubby is a pretzel fan too. I buy him the boxes that have little 100 calorie bags in there, and he gets one bag a day. But he doesn't always stick to that "one" a day bag..................

Doris: For most of my life I was not at all 'salt sensitive'.
Now I am.

Between the pretzels, cheese etc. I wound up with piano legs.

Love the pics Jezzie. Wow! Those boys are growing fast...must be all the pretzels they stuff in their ears! LOL!

Great to celebrate the changes of a family member by a family gathering!
Cute house and a neat connection to the garage.

Thanks for sharing.

Tara's Bedroom (formerly a playroom addition)

the handicap ... no built-in closets

jezzie · 03-04-2009, 11:11 AM

Taken through the bedroom window that faces the back.
I saw a beaver swimming by while I was looking out.
There is a horse farm beyond the creek.

Loretta V · 03-04-2009, 01:40 PM

That sure looks like a big bedroom. Lots of room. Tara might think about getting a free standing wardrobe unit. Something she could use elsewhere if she moved again.

Nice big back yard. Looks familiar with all of that water standing there.

Thanks for more pics, Jezzie.

mamagiff · 03-04-2009, 02:46 PM

Love the pictures! Kiran has turned into a big boy!!!

Hope Kim will be fine now that she has had the surgery...

mykneesareback · 03-04-2009, 05:41 PM

How neat to have a beaver to watch now and then outside your window, I'd enjoy that. I was excited to see a squirrel today, the large amount of water we have had must have flooded out their house, we rarely see them out and about here.

Thanks for posting those photos Jezzie.

In the top picture you may be able to make out two navy blue cloth baskets for folded clothes.
The matching wardrobe is in the bottom picture - next to the double doors (lead to the yard).

Laura, Tara's roommate, told me the beaver lives at the end of the stream and that they have
seen someone on horseback in the stream.

Laura is a groomer at the Animal Hospital where Tara works. She's in her mid 20's and Tara has
known Laura since she was a high school kid working as a vet tech in the smaller animal hospital.
