What we are up to.

Butch and I have been taking care of odds and ends in anticipation of the arrival of all the things to put it all together. Hmmm...like a big puzzle.

Yesterday I attended a wedding shower for Emily Brooker, Leo and Keri's youngest daughter. It seems like only yesterday she said to save June 1st, 2013 for a wedding and here it is sneaking up on us already. The shower was held at the Tea Garden in Jefferson. The food was scrumptious and the company very pleasant. Emily was blessed with many good things to start her and Joe's life together.
Here are a couple of candid shots from Emily's shower. Keri is centered in this picture. On the left is Julie Karber and on the right with her face hidden by a child is Norma Milligan.
 And here we have a waitress,then Erin, Emily's sister and her aunts who I will refrain from naming in case I am wrong.


When I returned home I painted a few boards and oh yes, ordered a new mattress. My criteria was NOT a memory foam and one that is reversible. I ended up getting it from Overstock.com. Free shipping. The rest of the directions or perhaps suggestions were to open the mattress in the room you intend to use it in. It comes compacted and will expand to its ultimate size in 24 hours. I now have people wanting to come watch this action. It will not take place right away as I plan to wait till most things are together and in place before unleashing the beast.
Butch has been working on door trim, electric connection for the stove and water pipe prep so it will be ready when it is time to put it all together. Oh and we did get the washer and dryer delivered yesterday from Lowes. They cannot be put in place just yet until a few other events take place. See it is most definitely like a big puzzle with some pieces being done before others to make it all come together. Sure glad we can live in the motorhome even though it is like a cold tin can.

And then last night Laura and Jason came by for awhile. A few hands of cribbage were played and we started looking at old pictures. A fun evening and a full day for sure.
