| Welcome...our 1st pics from our new home in Pasco,
WA. About 4 hours from Monroe, over the mountains. This house is going
to suit us much better in retirement. Much smaller than the Monroe home,
it has no stairs which is a big plus. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| By the time I got around to getting the 1st pics, we have had 3
light storms. But, this is the front of the house. |
Closer... |
The ubiquitous landmark of Pasco, the water towers are visible
half an hour out on the road. |
Yes, we are still moving in. 3/4 unpacked though, it was to the
ceiling and no aisles. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| Our first project, getting ready for the dogs, had a new
fence/gate put in. |
We moved the shed on the corner of the house to the lot back
corner and put in a new wire fence/gate at the corner. Giving the dogs a
35 foot run when the gate is closed. |
Y2K was the slowest to learn the new dog door I put in, Max had
used one before, it's large enough for Kathy. |
Replaced all the door hardware with the brushed bronze style. New
eye peep behind the wreath. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The dogs have adjusted well, Max probably the hardest as he had
always been an indoor dog. They have 4 new beds covered in layers of
blankets. |
The laundry room is much smaller, but more accessible for
Patricia being on the same floor. |
From the front door, living room on the left, laundry on the
right, kitchen at back on left then dining room to family room on right
that the master is off of. |
Haley helping with early Christmas wrapping in the living room. |
Ceilings are vaulted so there are plenty of high ledges for
displays. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Our usual Christmas town set out. We have just started putting
pictures up. |
Living and entry from dining room. Though we put a TV in the LR
it is primarily music and reading. |
The kitchen is smaller than we're used to, but open,
large pantry, eating overhang for the kids. Dishwasher is probably going
to be the first upgrade. |
The family room is our TV room, note minimal chairs. Our master
is off this room. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The master with bath is on one side, with the two other beds on
the other side of the house. |
My third of the walk-in closet. |
Master bath. |
Patricia found a place for her hanging Boops. The
pommels I put in, replacing all the drape hardware in the master, family
and kitchen. To replace the LR when we take down the tree this year. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| More ledges in the master. Yes, the doll is mine, side note that
the glass case cost 2/3rds again what the doll did. |
The rear "deck" is a 10X10 concrete pad. Our first summer
project, larger wood deck with overhead coverage. |
Yard is large enough for the dogs to roam when not in their run,
and small enough not to be hard to mow. |
Corner of the house with the new wire fence. |
Back corner hot tub. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The old dog run, was not large enough for our three. But is OK
for storage. |
From right to left, my office, kitchen, dining room and family
room windows. |
Yes, it is a bright red, but designers say that red is a color
that goes with everything. |
My office, this desk is for bills and writing. |
Then my computer and video work hub. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| Just put these in to brag, no measuring tape or level to put them
up, by eye alone. |
The guest bathroom is smaller than our but functional. |
If you enlarge, it's for the pics on the wall: upper left is me
as a baby. |
My view from the office. |

Patricia's i.e.: the kids games station. |
