BIG DAY IN OUR HOUSEHOLD

Our older daughter bought her first vehicle and she

paid for it with her own money--in full! She works

for our home repair business, house sits, babysits,

mows lawns and in all her spare time she is

learning to be a pharmacy tech. Oh and she is

taking a math class at the college.

It's a neat truck, just the right size and 4 wheel

drive (very important with our steep driveway)

Right before we went and picked up the truck

our younger daughter brought home straight A's

on her report card!

Lots of progress in the kitchen to report. In fact, with

everybody helping all that is left is a second coat of

paint on the trim and then I can call the inspector.

I just know he is going to show up with the dreaded

clipboard in hand. And probably a magnifying glass.

He may even be wearing a white glove to check for

dirt and debris underneath the flooring. I wonder

if he will request a step stool so he can inspect

the ceiling for cleanliness.

If anybody needs me I will be in the hall closet

with the door shut and lights off until he's gone.

Can they be bribed with pastry?

Did I just write that?

Here is the outside entrance that I will use to bring items

in and to load up to deliver. Everything is recycled--

isn't that awesome? My husband is a genius at reusing

items instead of throwing them away. He makes

them work for what we need and makes them look

nice as well.

I still need to order vinyl graphics for the patio door

so nobody tries to walk through it. That would

be bad, wouldn't it?

Especially if it was the inspector.

Must be deer hunting season. Doesn't everybody have

antlers cooking on their barbeque?
