Dinner time.

Ok. This post is not for vegetarians. Look away. Now!
Tonight Julie brought home a couple of magnificent ribeye steaks. From now on, Julie is the official steak shopper. 😉
These babies were an inch and a half thick!

They turned out perfect. We also whipped up some delicious sides: sauted zucchini and yellow squash, roasted mushrooms, and corn casserole. A Thursday feast!

On another topic… Monte just made this great tray / carry-all out of some cypress that he recently acquired. Tonight it carried in herbs for the feast.
Yummy!!!

He built that.

The “after” picture.

“Retired” is a state of mind.  Monte has been working every day out in the shop making sawdust and pretty furniture.  This is his latest project, one of a pair of LP cabinets.  Made out of beautiful walnut with a gorgeous custom finish.  He designed and built them.  Quite the craftsman!

The drawers have heavy duty full bottom-mounted slides. And he designed an angled, adjustable back-stop for each drawer.

Fancy dancy drawers.

Below is the “before” picture 🙂

I wonder what’s next?!
