Our little dynamite of a granddaughter stayed with us from Wednesday morning till Friday morning.  She loves it out here in the country and the freedom for playing that this brings! We made peanut butter hay stacks, created love cards (since Valentines is over) for her mom, dad and dad's girlfriend Kim.  She loved the… Continue reading 02.18.15 to 02.20.15 Fun with Madisyn!

Thursday, January 29, 2015 - Not a huge amount of construction going on today.  Our electrician, Jerry Joiner, is here a day early (I'll never complain about that) putting up electrical boxes for switches, outlets, lights, etc. I found out from our contractor that he asked for a rush on the new windows so hopefully… Continue reading 01.29.15 Electrician, tub/shower enclosures, attic stair relocation

Friday, January 23, 2015 - The rain Thursday night and this morning was heavy enough to stop the framers from working today.  It was also very cold and windy.

01.19.15 Nice light yellow storage building

Roy and I shopped for a storage building for some time.  We decided upon the Heartland Rainer Gambrel Wood Storage Building from Lowe's.  It's a 10 x 10 building with a storage loft inside. We bought it as a kit for $998 (plus tax and $65 delivery) instead of paying $2,000 for one already built. … Continue reading 01.19.15 Nice light yellow storage building

On Christmas day, for the first time in a while, we didn't have to go anywhere.

09.11.14 So what’s new??

Southeastern and LSU won their games Saturday by huge amounts.  They are both powerhouses in their conferences.  The bad news is that the Saints lost (oh how it hurts to say that word) to the Dirty Birds of Atlanta by a field goal in overtime in their first regular season game.  Our defense was rotten.… Continue reading 09.11.14 So what’s new??

Friends have asked about where we will be going when we leave here and the answer is still west.
