Pittsburgh's going to the Suuuuuuuuuuper Bowl

First this...as soon as I figure out how to get a link there will actually BE something here...haha
It was a good day for football fans...especially Packer fans (like Reid) and Steeler fans (like ME!) We were invited to a party at a house on the river. I wasn't really sure about going...but they asked us several times...and there was going to be fresh fish...and I wanted to see the house now that it's finished...because John & co did all the tile work. It is quite a house!
And seeing it on a beautiful day like today...well..it was impressive.Above...the side yard and pool & hot tub & looking out towards the river.Below the front hallway...beautiful wood floors throughout. The lighter wood is old Merritt Island pine...there wasn't enough for the whole floor...so they incorporated what they had into the entryway/hall.
Elevator...had to try it out...just because.

outside deck...background is the river and Ballard Park
view from side deck
back yard...beautiful oak trees
tile work John did down where boats pull in. It is on the spot where there was an old boat house...in this case they knocked down the original and rebuilt a new house...in the same design/style as the original houses were built. Putting in the last row of tile near the water was pretty tricky...on a platform...getting wet while working
downstairs kitchen in the "rec" room. Still a work in progress...but they have the beautiful tile and cabinets and woodwork, a nice pool table and it's coming along.

pool again
deck by the living room All through the house was the blue & green colors. Beautiful tile work and lots of nice art work by local artists. It was really nice...and comfortable too. I ended up having a good time...even though we were among the older folks in the crowd. We stayed for the first half of the first game. Came home...watched the Packers win and then headed out to watch the Steelers game...and the rest is history. The Jets looked pretty good...and I would not have been too upset if they pulled off the win...but Pittsburgh is hard to beat!
Oh...and just for the record...my car kind of smells like a big piece of fried fish (after the party in the garage)...haha I'm surprised I don't have a bunch of cats lurking around!...I am hoping the Febreeze I sprayed in there tonight helps "freshen" things up! haha
