Just need the knobs and a little decor

Lorie Ann has been asking for a picture showing the progress of the family room shelves.  Well, here you have it.  We still need to decide on the hardware (knobs and drawer pulls) and then install them.  We looked around the house for a few things we could put on these shelves.  I'm NOT a nic-nac person but we came up with a few things.  We shall be looking for more.  On our upcoming Boston trip we'll go nic-nac shopping and maybe find a  great set of book-ends.

Oh, and did you know, we have relatives you've never met.  What a treat it was the day Carol called and said, "This is your cousin.  We're driving through Georgia and we'd like to visit for an hour."  Ta-da!  Grandpa Cheney has a younger brother named Keith who has a daughter named Carol who is married to  Ed.  Presenting... the Brother's (that's their last name).  We hope we have many adventures together in the future!

These next set of photos are representative of the wonderful people we associate with here in the south... Presenting Labor Day Lunch at the West's.  See if you can figure out who all these cuties are!  Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of everyone.
