Peter & Kaija came back to CA to visit us and other friends that they met during their 4 years here. They were here from December 16 – 30, so we were able to celebrate Christmas and an early New Year’s with them. We had a really good time and kept very busy. We went to a cocktail party at the Golf Club, had friends over for dinner on 3 different nights, we drove around and looked at Christmas lights, went to a Christmas Eve party at Tony & Phillipa’s house (ex-neighbors from Corsley Lane), went out to dinner a couple of times, breakfast and lunch, as well as a lot of good home made meals, and of course played lots of chicken foot dominos. Peter & Kaija LOVE to shop, so they did a lot of that too.
Homemade pizza… yummy!!!
We also Skyped with Kaija’s family in Finland on Christmas Eve. We have met almost everyone, so it was really nice to be able to chat with them.
This is soooooooooooo disgusting!!! We’ve had a huge ant problem since December. We fought live ants for almost 2 months until we finally found the cure. Now we’re just cleaning up dead ants every day. After wiping away ants, spraying inside and out, and sanitizing, we finally bought a product that is Guaranteed to kill and boy does it work!! We figured out the ants had a nest in the wall between 2 of the bedrooms. They drink the poison we put out, bring it back to the nest and then they come back and die inside the house. At lease now we only have to vacuum them up instead of dealing with live ants. They are almost non existent after 1 1/2 months. Don’t worry, the Almeida B&B is safe to visit… we’ve sanitized everything and they are gone!
The last 2 pictures on the grey floor were in the garage. They were breeding underneath a rubber mat and they had eggs everywhere… gross!!!
December One Day Project… Hanging a lamp over the pub table
It was too dark at the pub table, so we installed a light with the help of Peter & Kaija. The install went good (easy for me to say… Kaija & I were not the ones up in the attic crawling around), we put the light on timer and we’re good to go!
Before After
