HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE!!! On this bright sunny morning I thought I would sit and try to catch up on a few things and I thought hmmmm..........
My office is just about finished. Well remodeling speaking it is done. Now just to unload all of those boxes of stuff we think we can't let go of and have had in boxes for how many months???? Wow, to decide. Do I need this, do I need that. Does Bob know how to keep his desk clean and not cluttered. Do I know how to keep the clutter down? Oh well, as you can see we have come a long way! This is Bob's desk.

A different view from the door. I started by hanging pictures. Gives the room a lived in look any way. Everyone knows as you start to put things back you start to make a list of what you don't have and need to finish.
First the clock had to to up. Someone in this house has a need to always be thinking of Texas.....Wonder who that would be, not me. The curtains over the chair are from Lauren and Matt and thank you to both for the finishing look when I get the rods to hang them. Remember the list I mentioned? So here is the beginnings of the finished office and boy are we glad to be in there.

How many men does it takes to put up new barn doors?

II arrived home from work tonight to find 5 men and 3 dogs at the barn putting up the new barn doors that Bob and Bobby built over the weekend. I see one man on a ladder, 3 standing around and 1 supervising from a seat on the spear of the tractor with his dog..............

The Office....................

Well last weekend Bobby and Paul were adding the phone line to the office. Can't run a computer without a phone line. Paul, the know how behind the team began out on the roof. He is definately a jack of all trades.

Watching Bobby to make sure he was connecting all wires where they needed to go. Keep watching, we are almost done and there is more to come.

Meet Yoda

Meet Yoda, my Pembroke Welsh Corgi. If you don't know why his name is Yoda, then look at the ears......
He is the only dog I have ever had that will hide treats or try to bury them. It is the funniest thing. As you can see, he has half of a hamburger roll in his mouth. He took this thing up stairs to where he thought he was hiding it. Look very good at Tyler's bedroom door. Look at the bottom on the right. That was he first hiding place. That was Monday night. Since then, he has carried this thing around for 2 days and it is hard as a rock.
This dog is the best!

THE OFFICE SAGA CONTINUES.....

On Saturday, Bobby, Gerry and Yoda continued to work on the office. Gerry made a good supervisor, while Bobby cut and made window casing. Gerry has always told Bobby," MEASURE TWICE AND CUT ONCE"! Well we wont count the time he came out to cut again.
Bobby is a carpenter that is a ham in front of a camera. Can you tell he likes what he is doing. I will ask him when we are done.
Gerry helped where he could. He has had some health issues that prevent him from working like he use to, so he had a nice day out. A peak into the new office from the door to the window. What do you think?

Well, as I post this, my new windows are being installed!! I am sooooooo excited, because I have had these windows for the past 5 weeks. About 4 weeks ago, there was a crew of 4 men here to install all of them. Paul took the old office window out and tried to put the new one in, only to say," they are too big." OMG, now what?

Bobby called the person that had told him how to measure the windows and told him they were the right size only to find out they had to remove the casings first.........thought they knew how to do this.

Bobby was tired of waiting for help, so he tried to put the office window in himself. Not going to happen, he ran into a problem and decided he needed a help.

So today, he has Tom here and the house has new eyes. What do you think of that?

Heads Up Tyler

Looks like Tyler needs a haircut! No wait, that is a hat he found on the top of the refridgerator. Bob has a little bit of everything up there and we came home Monday night to see this.

I do believe it is the new ski hat for the rest of the season. It is so funny to see him sit and play 007 with this on and NO it is not cold in the house. A true teenager on the loose.
