We've Been Busy

No pictures, but did want to update everyone who visits our blog. We have been working in the garage more. But having some fun also. The last three weekends, Rick has gone 4-wheeling in the Jeep with a couple of different groups. He usually forgets to take the camera and when he has, I've left it for him to post. (Notice all the great posts from him?) I haven't gone. I have found that most of the trails are really rocky, bumpy and NO BATHROOMS so I would prefer to stay at home. I have gotten to really enjoy my time. I get to watch movies Rick doesn't want to see, knit, cross stitch read the Zane Grey books, and just relax. I have also gotten my sewing room pretty well put together.

This last weekend, Rick went off on Sat. so on Sunday we worked in the garage. We started putting in the bookcase at the end of my sewing room. We have it over half done. We got the three vertical boards in and then the shelves on half of it. We did a good job of it. When we get them all in, I plan on painting them. In fact, going to town tomorrow for more of my lovely yellow (Scrimshaw) paint. Then when it's dry, I can start putting books (mostly paperback) and CD's on the shelves. We don't want to put too much weight on the shelves.

Rick has also been working a lot of evenings on getting his insulation in the rest of the garage. He bought a 4 ft. fan to help circulate the air while he is out there working. It hasn't been cooling off at night much. Still usually in the 80's at 10 pm.

Got the front lawn planted a week ago last Fri. We now have some green lawn in front of the house. The sprinkling system is in for the sides and back and Ken now has a tractor here to start leveling the back a little better and putting rocks along the berm in the back. This is to hold the dirt for the well and propane tank. They are up about 3 ft. from the back yard.

Rick got the pavers to do the front and back walkways. But until the yard is in a little better, we just have a few for stepping stones at this time. Keeping Rocky off the new lawn has been lots of fun. HA HA. But with the heat, he really doesn't mind staying in the house all day.

Well, just wanted to let you know we are still around and keeping busy. Can't wait for everything to get finished. (Like that ever happens.)
