Slow Going on the Home Front
OK, I am probably the worst blogger ever. Things are moving slowly with the house building, so I’ve tended to not update about anything. But, there have been things going on. Our house plans should be finished any day now (waiting to hear), and the next step is to sign with a builder. We’ve had a lot of fun window shopping for the new house…kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, there’s so much cool stuff out there, I can hardly wait.
While we’re waiting, we’re taking care of the ‘not so much fun’ stuff that has to be done. Such as perc tests. The good news is that we have great soil. That’s going to be a good thing since we’re planning to have a garden the size of Ardmore. Guga gave us his sniff of approval.
We did manage to get away for a much needed break last week. We did our annual trek to Gatlinburg for our anniversary, and had a great time doing nothing in our wonderful little cabin.
Well, we did nothing AFTER we did our usual purchasing of our annual necessities, such as a couple of pieces of pottery from Alewine Pottery, you have to have those.
And of course we needed a couple of more ‘Life is Good’ items. OK, maybe we didn’t NEED them, but we started a tradition a couple of years ago of picking up a few things from our favorite little hole in the wall shop, so now we have to. Then there’s the soy candle shop, and the Pepper Palace. OK and breakfast at the Pancake Pantry, have to do that every year. Believe it not though, we did all that in one day, and spent the other few days being couch potatoes and hot tub bums, and enjoying the great view of the Smokies. We’re already looking forward to next year.
I just KNOW I’m going to have new house stuff to share, just any day now.
