Mississippi's Newest Residents

It's official... Mom and Dad are residents of Mississippi! 

The condo in Wisconsin is no longer theirs.  Their cars have Mississippi plates and they have their Mississippi driver's licenses. 

We spent labor day weekend with them in McComb in our first pseudo-evacuation for Tropical Storm Lee.  We really didn't need to leave, but we had been planning to go visit over the weekend anyway, so we just extended our stay from Friday through Monday afternoon.  As it turns out, we didn't even lose power at our house or have any seepage of water under the doors (we were concerned because the patio often floods in everyday thunderstorms). 

Here are a few pictures of Mom and Dad's house in McComb as they are getting settled in.


Notice the cabinets --- this is the "before" picture.







Mom didn't like the cabinet doors with the transparent glass.  My original plan was to install some stainded glass behind the clear glass, but I found out the sheets of glass this large would be quite expensive.  In addition, we decided the added weight of the glass would cause more problems with the hinges pulling out (already a problem).  So I found this glass coating at Lowe's!!!!


Thanks for a great weekend Mom and Dad.  We're looking forward to MANY more!!!!
