Well I kept thinking Mike was going to get the updates in here...I guess I will give a quick rundown of the last couple of weeks and he can embellish later.
Counter is in and absolutely beautiful. Now to get the backsplash done, crown moulding done and baseboards completed, that will wrap up the major touches. We'll get the last 4 cabinets and 2 light fixtures up over the next couple of days.
My house sold and the closing was last Thursday....thank goodness that step is done and out of the way. Now just to get all unpacked and either put away, burned or ready for a huge garage sale. Chris (my youngest) and I rented a truck on Tuesday last week and got the rest moved out. Mike joined in on the 2nd load. It is amazing how much stuff fits in a garage and shed. I went over on Wednesday and picked up the rest of my clothes and the very breakable stuff with my truck. I didn't want anyone to blame for breaking something.
All the kitchen stuff is unpacked and put away. Once the remaining cabinets are installed, I can get the food stuff moved into the kitchen and the front room cleaned up. Once this step is complete the downstairs will look like it should.
Ok, so let's see...oh I guess it would be good to mention that we have a new puppy, for about 2 weeks now. His name is Saint. He is a Great Pyreneese, all white with light carmel around his eyes. He will eventually be all white from what we've been told. Oh, and about 100+ pounds of pure guard dog.
Guard dog for what you might be asking yourself....well we have also recently purchased 3 goats. They are due to arrive on Wednesday this week. Mike and I worked the fences yesterday, purchased the necessary feeding supplies and are just waiting on a few new gates that will hopefully hold those tricky little critters from grazing the country side.
Of course pictures of everything are forthcoming. We have plenty, just somebody is a bit slow on the draw to keep things up to date. :) Love you honey!!
Left is just Lily and Velvet. Right is Valentino.
You can see the size difference by the way Saint is standing over Bogie. He will reach the neighborhood of 100+ lbs. He is starting to test us a bit to try to make the superiority move but Bogie and Mike and I are still winning.
