Minnesota Highlights

We had a great time with everyone. Chef Milly's grilled tomatoes were a hit!

Moving Day

We have moved!! We had help from Bill Highfill, he thought he was coming to play in the Men's Member - Guest , but we fooled him and he was a great help with the move. He got to spend the first night with us in our new house. He and Ralph placed second in their flight and had a great time. We spent two nights in the house and took off to spend the 4th of July in Minnesota with Michelle and family. Now that we are back, the unpacking begins.

Family Suite

Your room is almost ready. There has been a slight delay. The big dehumidifier is from Madison, WI. so you should feel right at home. The rest of the furniture is waiting to be delivered.

We have lights

There's a little more work to be done, but we're almost there!

Almost Done

The plumbing fixtures are almost in, along with the lighting fixtures. The water leaks have been identified and are being addressed. By this coming Friday, we may be ready to start moving. If not by June 19th, by June 26th. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Here is an updated exterior view showing the garage doors and the landscaping. Today I'm ordering our mail box!

White Squirrel Festival

This weekend, Heather and Eric Sewell came up from Columbia, SC for a visit. The following pictures shows some of the waterfalls we hiked on Saturday. Since is was 80+ degrees, we decided to go to Brevard, NC to attend the White Squirrel festival.

The local brewery made some White Squirrel Lager, so we had to have some during lunch. If the beer would have served with a slice of orange, it could have passed for a Blue Moon. Prior to lunch, we visited Brevard College so Heather and Eric could see a real "white" squirrel. Heather tried to bribe the squirrel with nuts, but they were too smart and stayed up in the trees!

House Update

Since we have been getting some requests to update the blog, here are some new photo's. The weather has been cooperating, so the pavers and the landscaping are almost complete. With any luck, the driveway will be asphalted by next Friday.

The kitchen cabinets are installed and awaiting granite measurement. This is scheduled for May 13th with a granite install date of May 28th.

The floors have been sanded and the first coat of poly is on. This week the main floor doors get hung and some trim put up. The painter is also suppose to put the second coat of paint on.

Finally, the outside deck is complete. The only area remaining outside is to screen in the porch area by our bedroom.
