Dear’s company shuts down the week of July 4th so this was a free week off for him. While in Washington he was very busy cleaning out our garage. He and our son Dan took 700 lbs. of junk stuff to the dump. They cleared out and reorganized the garage. For the first time since we’ve lived in this house we can park 3 cars in our upper garage.
Beautiful! Now this next collage shows you our Toyota Car Museum.
When my car goes back to California in August our son’s truck will take over my spot and our garage will become more diversified since his truck is a Ford.
Below this Garage is a shop where 3 vehicles that are being worked on are stored and a few motorcycles. Makes me feel a little better about all the dishes I own. Not that it’s a competition or anything…
Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage. They have blacked out all those photos on my blog posts. OH BOTHER! I’m slowly cleaning up my posts.

Dishes cost less and are cheaper to maintain. Just a thought…
The only time we were inside St Paul’s was during Evensong. We didn’t take the tour or go up the steps. Next time!
“Makes me feel a little better about all the dishes I own. ”
Ha!
You’re cracking me up!
The garage looks awesome! I don’t think i realized it was that big 🙂
p.s. thanks for your comment on my blog – I decided to take the post down, but I think everything is going to be okay 🙂 I had a few people flake out on things recently – but it seems to be working out for the best! Can’t wait to see you at the wedding, I am so glad you & dear are going to be there!
what a garage! my hubby would be jealous! lol
and I hear ya on the dishes!!!
hope you had a great 4th of July — and by the look of your beautiful family pictures you did!
Oh it feels so good to decultter, whether it’s the kitchen cabinets, linen closets or the garage. Sometimes those are the best holidays .. . in the end.
Does upper garage mean you have a lower one too?? or is that just a term you guys use?
Elaine, This garage/shop is not typical. Most garages in the U.S. are single story 1-3 car. This one does have a lower floor also with a single garage door and is what we call the “shop”.
Wow – my husband would be so envious… a garage AND a separate shop!!!
Boy Dear-in-law was definitely busy! IT LOOKS FABULOUS! I think we need to do some furniture shopping at the Goodwill next!
Now that is a thing of beauty! My garage isn’t nearly as big, but it got a thorough cleaning and reorganizing this week, too. Only one truckload went to the Goodwill. The rest of the true junk just got picked up by the trashmen a few minutes ago.
You and Lana are too funny with your “non-junk” shopping. I’m glad you said all the things I was thinking about the “stuff” you and Dear each collect and the estate sale that will be held someday for those pretty tea cups to go back to Goodwill 🙂
Too funny! I always use that one on my husband…”but you have two motorcycles and all those little airplanes and a big truck. A little fabrics not going to break us.” It works well.
I love those tea cups (5) they look like thier extra big. Looks like you had time to relax
