The best laid plans
 or I sold my soul to Home Depot

So, husbear and I decided to renovate the cabin ourselves. If you ever feel the need to test the strength of your relationship (I recommend that you don't), nothing beats a remodeling project.

Half of the Home Depot order didn't show up. The cabinets from IKEA didn't include the pantry door. The drywall guy never came back. The washing machine wasn't attached to a drain (guess how I figured that one out? - think Noah's Ark)

I now know what a "Punch List" is (it's all the stuff that didn't get done), soon to become a "honey do list!" Honey, can you attach the base boards. Honey, we need the garbage disposal to stop spewing all over the kitchen - you get the idea.

And apparently, if we don't get the roof on by October 15th - we are screwed. We called a roofer, but he just laughed . . .

So, my sincere apologies for a late newsletter. It's just that I've been a tad busy. Of course, it will be rustically furnished by The Complete Bear

I'm sure husbear number #2 will appreciate all the hard work that has gone into the Cabin. See you on the slopes!

 My family?
 Just look around

OK, the reason we were refurbishing the cabin was that we had planned a little party. OK, it was our wedding.

At one point, one of the guests asked "Is your family here?"

I looked around. Melissa who shared my dating hell for too many years was there. Karin and Mark had brought their sons - I had nailed her first pregnancy when she passed on a glass of wine back in Berkeley and pee'd every two minutes. Jesse and David flew in from Boston. I had attended their wedding in 2004.

Yes, my family was there. All the people that we love and care about came to celebrate our day.

And for those keeping track, my sister flew in from Connecticut - check out Bear Bones over the next week for our adventures as tourists in SF. Apparently, what I lack in factual information, I make up for in story telling. Rockefeller? Hearst? Diego Rivera!- stay tuned!

We asked Tom for a little something to warm us up as fall approaches. . .

He sent over a White Party Chili recipe to do the trick. Really, Tom? Have you been to The White Party? Those boys haven't seen a carb in about 3 years!

So, if you're still eating carbs (and I know my furry readers are) then check out Bearly Edible a recipe, entertaining and kitchen tips blog for gay bearish men who love to cook and entertain.
