I tried to make homemade tamales. The filling was excellent. I could have just eaten that stuff all day.  I had a terrible time making the corn casing. This process took all day and it was so disappointing when it didn't work out. I later found out my cousin Michael is a pro at making these!!! He has promised to give me his secrets. I'm not giving up!

I'm a very good cook. I'm not bragging but I really can make just about anything. Bob is a good cook too so together we make a great team. The one thing I can't cook is rice. I'm getting better at making it and practice makes perfect! 

The master bathroom and bedroom are under construction! (Still) The twins' bathroom is being remodeled too. These pictures are from September 1 so we are much further along right now. I'm tired of the process but I know it will be beautiful . Bob is doing a lot of the work himself.
