saturday projects.

We had a great weekend!  On Friday evening, we got together with friends we hadn't seen in almost twenty years.  And on Saturday, we went for a hike and a picnic with several friends from church.  It was just beautiful out and so fun to share it with friends.  :)

After we got home from our hike on Saturday, we completed two projects, both of which are in this photo.  Such a satisfying feeling! :)

Our "new" screen door & patio blinds, installed on Saturday.  :)

Some friends from church gave us this beautiful Hunter-Douglas blind last week when they upgraded their broken patio door to French doors.  And we got a "new" screen door this past week because Zoe ran into the original one and totally bent it beyond repair.  

Thankfully there was a used screen door on Craig's List for only $20... *way* cheaper than buying a new one!  Only problem was, it didn't fit exactly right so we had to trim the top to make it fit.  It isn't *quite* perfect yet, but it does slide back & forth.  We also like that the screen is actually a sunscreen, so it blocks a bit of the brightness from the sun.  :)
