First Glimpse of the China Loft

I mentioned our strategy for retirement in an earlier post about taking 1 task and completing it by noon, but today we worked a couple of hours of overtime. I think this shows that it was worth it!

The first glimpse of the China Loft guest suite












We built the bed frame from scrap cypress wood left over from the house and then took an old headboard and upholstered it with silk that we brought back from Beijing. It was quite the undertaking for us, since neither of us had any experience at either one of those jobs!


On another note, this was dinner last night.
Shrimp curry with homemade naan!
















The curry we've done before, but this was the first time we've tried our hand at naan. I think the recipe is good, but we still need to work on our technique.

Well it's quittin' time now so I think we'll get cleaned up and cruise around with the top down. We'd take the bike, but it's in the shop getting the 20,000 mile check-up to get ready for Daytona bike week!
