Big girl panties

Little by little, the boxes are being unpacked.

Stuff is being sorted into 3 piles;

keep, give, dump!

So far, the give and dump piles are bigger

than the keep pile.

And that my friends is a good thing!

Now my big flub, is figuring out what the heck I did

to my computer and pinter fiasco!

Apparently, I have two printers.

One came with my new computer

and I just now have hooked it up.....

The crappy part is that it's not very compatible with my Windows 7

computer!

This is why I always stick with HP equipment....

Less hassle and compatibility with almost everything;

while Epson makes great stuff....

I'm still trying to figure out WHY.....WHY CRUEL PRINTER????? 

A Thankful Home

The dining room table is all set for dinner,

 The kitchen is brewing up some yummy food.

 The game is on; Green Bay Packers & Detroit Lions.....we're rooting for the Lions.

The master bedroom with the bed made, and Tessie's night time crate which we don't use.

The guest bathroom,

and the vanity below.

We have a Thankful Home for certain. 

A Home of Our Own.....part 2

I feel an update is necessary as it's only matter of a mere 1 weekend

before we are able to officially move in

to our new home.

The neighbor lady whom I refer 

to as the "night walker"

she works the night shift at who knows where?

She really doesn't like us at the moment,

since all of the construction happens 

DURING THE DAY.

However, an inspection was performed

yesterday and given the go-ahead

we had a phone call this morning,

and the interior contractor

will be working this whole week and is 

shooting for either this Friday or next Monday

to be finished.

When that happens, we will have a "walk through" and sign off

on the work and be given our keys to our home.

Which we will then do a "Happy Dance"

and start the process of 

M O V I N G !!!!   

 In the meantime, if you hear a woman's voice

screaming from the stress......

THAT WOULD BE ME!! 

Bandon by the Sea

 The second weekend in October is Women's Fall Retreat through our church at Trail Christian Fellowship.  This was my first time going and I enjoyed it immensely!  We have 2 and a half days of fellowship and classes, and wonderful speakers as well as the best food, desserts and friendship.
Since, I am a snap happy camera loving fool, I took some pictures from around the retreat and some downtown scenery as well.  Above are my favorite succulents: Hens & Chicks!  I absolutely love them and they grow anywhere.  Next are vibrant azaleas such beauty after a drizzling rain.

Ah Mr. Seahorse or is that Mrs.? I later learned that seahorses are neither male/female so if someone knows better about this than I do; please correct me in a comment. 

A close up view of how handsome and how much carving went into creating this statue.  Boy does it smell good too. Don't know what they used to seal the wood with...But I could smell him all day!   

Wordless Wednesday

A Home of Our Own

Last Monday, at approximately 3:25 pm our new home arrived at

3750 Avenue G, #11 White City, Oregon.  It's been a long awaited dream to have a home of our own.  Especially the fact that Miss Tessie will  have her very own yard to patrol and keep the stray cats at bay.

 Above, you see the first half of our home which is the back side.

 This is the front half of the home and trust me I peeked into every single window!

And in the fore ground is my mother in law whom I affectionately call "Junebugg" she's the red head and a sweetheart, in the middle is my hubby Left Brain,a.k.a. Dodgeman.  The blonde headed one is my own mom who is the owner of "Stump" (the short left big toe).  Temporarily set on the lot is our new Palm Harbor Home The Bayview II.
It looks different now, it's all buttoned up, the electrical is hooked up thanks to my dad.  Now all we need is skirting, stairs and fencing and A LOT OF PATIENCE!!!
