Goober Fest 08

Len had some fellow D&D geeks over for a little adventure last night. They ate a bunch of junk and goobed out all night. Moldpenny and I went to the kite festival to watch the fireworks as her husband was one of the adventurers. All of these guys have worked on our house. Mr. Moldpenny installed the Internet and phones. Goober Jeff helped with framing and siding. Len's nephew Brian did some painting and Adam installed the electrical outlets.

I LOVE the table the Moldpenny's gave us. It is huge and beautiful! It is absolutely perfect in our dining room.

House Party

We had a little house party on Saturday. Lots of food, folks, and beer.

Here is a pretty baby in her party dress.

The children love the dirt piles. I hope for them to someday soon become a lawn.

Exciting Day!

The koi are here!

Renee and her husband, Brian, came and installed the mosaic today. She brought it in three pieces. The little bits are all taped together.

It will set overnight. Then tomorrow she will take the tape off. If any pieces come up with the tape they will have to be stuck in again and set for another night. Then on Wednesday they will come and grout it.

Each koi in the mosaic is a different type. They have Japanese names for the different colors and patterns. I remember one is called fawn and another is four. She said she would write the names down for me. I am so excited for it to be complete!

Also today, my dad put up the shades in the master bathroom. I can now shower and potty in there without fear of exposing myself to the world. He also hung the mirrors and toilet paper holder in the master bath and the towel bar, hand towel ring, and toilet paper holder in the guest bath. He is awesome!

One Room Done

My dad was over the other day. He installed the mirror, towel ring, and toilet paper holder in the power room. Oh, and he made it so the door will lock. Except for trim paint, the powder room is done! Yes, it is the smallest room in the house, but it is complete!
My clothes all smelled like mildew from the old house so I am washing EVERYTHING. It is taking forever. Maybe I will be able to get my closet done soon. I need to run to Freddy's and maybe Ikea for parts.
Len is working on the tile in the master bathroom tonight. The blinds came from Penny's so when he is done grouting and painting we can install them.

Ready or Not, it's Party Time!

What: House Warming Party (whether we are ready or not)

When: Saturday, August 16th
Open House from 1:00 PM on

Who is invited: Everyone and their mom!

I heart Ikea

Check out my huge, red sectional and comfy chairs! We got the sectional and two chairs home in the back of Len's pick-up. It looked like a hill billy homecoming.

Finally a Picture

I have been trying desperately to put my new house together, but haven't made much progress. Working at the camp all the time hasn't helped. I should have a few days off soon.

Here is the guest/Adam's bathroom.
