Oh... by the way

We passed the occupancy the second time, but didn't spend the first night here until June 1st. We're still moving, and tossing stuff from the old house so I can get it ready to sell. We’re planning a ‘we moved’ bonfire for friends and family to come by and see the new, much smaller, place. And to get rid of that last pit of construction debris.

The dogs are enjoying the space. They've learned not to mess with the big boys. The horses in the pasture next door have chased them around a few times. They have not discovered the three to the east, or have not shown interest if they know they are there. They have a much better fence and I’m not sure that the dogs would make it in. And if they did, I’m certain they wouldn’t make it out as quickly when the horse is chasing them down. We will be adding a fence after the old house sells. They discovered the cows across the street this week too. Have not barked at them much, just looked at them funny. Plus, they found a super-sized snapping turtle to play with. Just like a female, Ashes couldn’t leave it alone… until it made her yelp.

We're still unpacking and working on the things-to-do list. The next thing we must get done is the storage cabinets for the bathroom. We are getting by, but girls have 'stuff' and we have a houseful of girls... who need a place for their stuff!

Pictures WILL be taken and posted. With all there is to do, it’s pretty far down the list. But they are coming… I also need to locate a good, and reasonably priced, satellite internet provider. Tried the wireless thing, but hate the speed, or lack thereof. Need to get satellite TV too. And… and… and…
