update on the house


So...thanks to Lucy,
the children's room is all decked out.
She is a box-opening
unpacking
bookshelf-setter-upper
ball of fire!
She was the first
(other than Bubba and I)
to have the honor
 of sleeping in this house.
This picture is the new shelf in the kid's domain.

We are still waiting for the shutters.
They were custom made and came in wrong.
We are having to wait until they fix their mistake.
Still living with sheets tied with bows
and lots of exposed windows.
The neighbors are probably having a hey-day.

Our gas is provided by 
a propane tank 
that is the size of a small car.
Late last week the back-hoe came,
dug a hole to China,
buried the tank, 
and left the yard a mess.
Today we find out that the tank was buried,
too close to the house,
too close to the air-conditioning unit,
both possible potentials for 
a huge explosion.
Who knows when the exhumation of the buried tank will happen.

Other than that....
things are going just fine and dandy.

Today,
Bubba brought his babies home.
These crowns of  thorns
are the loves of his life.
Sandy,
 these are the ones that Robert gave him so many years ago.
He has stood all afternoon and just gazed at them.

Working on the guest room now.
I wonder who our first guest(s) will be?
