Well, this is unusual. Usually, Sue is the one that ends up waking up and coming out to the living room. I was reading a book and finally put my light out at about 3:30 and here it is 6:05 in the blessed am. Can't sleep. Uncomfortable. Oh well. Maybe this is good. I can actually blog more than once a month!
As I said in the last blog, the house is starting to take shape. We stopped at Wally World yesterday, and picked up a few odds and ends that we still needed. I am still in shock that we actually have bought this house. We can do what we want with it. We don't have to get anyone's permission to do anything. For example, later today, Directv is coming out to install our satellite dish. We don't have to get permission from a landlord to have it installed! I love it!
If we want ( and we do ) we can get a dog. As a matter of fact, we have already picked out the breed of dog to get. We are getting a Sheltie. We have done some reading on the breed, and we have friends who have one who is still pretty spry at 20. Long life for a dog!
Of course there is a downside to owning a house. I hooked up a hose in the back yard, only to find that I will need to replace the water faucet outside because it has a heck of a leak! Oh well.
More news when it becomes less available!

The Joys of Owning a Home!
The Joys of Owning a Home!
Well, the financing came through. We now have moved in. Moving was
A lot of fun. The movers showed up on Saturday, the 27th to move the big items. (The couch, the computer desk, the beds etc)
We had a friend from church show up with two of his sons to help us move the rest of the stuff. We got the majority of it out on Saturday, and went back Monday for another load. Tuesday we went to get the rest of it, and discovered that the Apartment management had come in and taken out the stove. We had been paid up till the 1st of June, but that didn’t seem to bother them. Oh well, we are well out of that place.
I have been trying to do all the little odd jobs that need to be done, putting up showers, putting magnets on the cabinets, etc. Apparently I have been trying to do too much too soon. We went and picked up Tara on Thursday of last week, (The 1st of June) and she, Sue and Sandy got together and jumped on me telling me I was overdoing it.
I had to cut back on wheat I was trying to do. Oh well.
There is definitely a lot of things to do, I just wanted to try to get things done so I could relax. I guess I have to relax and do these little odd jobs little by little.
I will keep you all informed as things progress!
