New Living Room Book Cases

We have had these ornate bookcases for some time, and they do not match our more modern furniture and house these days.

So, I just finished two cherry bookcases which are more spare and modern in style.


 They match the style of the cherry china cabinet that I made a few years ago.  Cherry darkens with time, so eventually, the new bookcases will look more like the china cabinet.

When seen from the side, the bookcases have a gentle curve...

...which matches the curve on the china cabinet.

Walt Disney World

Last year, we went to Walt Disney World with Margaret, Matt, Anthony, and Michael.  We are just now back from WDW with Cecilia, Maggie, and Ingrid.

Our first Disney meal, at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom.

On the monorail. The first 2 days were rainy.

Dinner at the Coral Reef restaurant at Epcot in the Seas pavilion.

The girls LOVED Spaceship Earth (aka the golf ball).

Nap time.

At Magic Kingdom.

 In a teacup.

Toy Story Mania ride at the Hollywood Studio Park. Richard's favorite.

Sorting dinosaur bones at the Animal Kingdom Park.

The girls enjoyed the pool at our resort, Disney Pop Century Resort.

Dancing the polka at the Biergarten restaurant in the German pavilion.

Group photo at EPCOT.

At our resort, waiting for the Disney bus back to the Orlando airport.
