We actually do other things besides worry about the house. A couple of weeks ago our family was asked to do the reading response and light the candle for the third week of advent at church. I lit the candle, Noah did the reading (Allie held the microphone for him) and he did a great job. Ben didn’t…
We went out to the site this morning to meet with Sonia. We were there to talk about the kitchen layout and to pick up cabinet samples. We’re picking out cabinetry for every room that needs it. When we arrived we saw a couple of vans with ladders on them pulling up. It seems that…
Last week we met the wife of the builder out at a plumbing supply store about twenty minutes away. Sonia is Chuck’s partner in business. He takes care of the outside and she handles the stuff on the inside. We wanted to start the process of picking out sinks and fixtures. It’s time to start…
We hate sticking around this apartment if we don’t have to. We really don’t like it here very much. So, most weekends we try to find things to do that will get us out of here. Sometimes the things that get us out of here are the typical errands that families need to do all…
Finally it looks as though we’re almost done with the framing. There looks to be a few odds and ends to finish on the inside, and the screened porch still needs to be framed, but you can tell that things have finally moved along. It’s pretty crazy how the house seems to get bigger the…
Thursday was Thanksgiving, but we’d already had our big meal. What we hadn’t done is spend an entire day at the beach. Thursday was the day. We’d seen a public beach with a bath house and lots of parking right next to the The Crab Trap restaurant so we thought we’d try that out. We…
On Wednesday we finally got out of the condo. Even though the condominium was on the water there wasn’t an accessible beach. If we wanted to walk on the beach we’d have to get on a little boat that would take us across the bay. That wasn’t for us and we wanted to explore so…
When I started working from home Allison and I started trying to decide where we might want to live. By the way, when you can live anywhere you want finding a place to live is a very daunting task. Anyway, one of the things that we decided was that we’d travel to places with Mom…
We had a great time seeing Gibby, but the evening of Sunday Allison started feeling some pain in her back. I’m pretty sure that she knew what was coming since she’d felt it before, but she was in denial. She was in such pain all night that she couldn’t sleep. She was hurting so badly…
We went to Gibby’s house in Wadesboro the weekend before we were supposed to leave to meet Nana and Peepop in Florida for Thanksgiving week. We got to meet some of her friends … who are a real hoot. The table was lovely. She made way too much food. Everyone who was there probably could have…
