It's begun..diggin' is half the fun



Here it comes.... The excavation began on Wednesday.  With the big "claw" (I don't know the technical term but the word describes it well.), my garden was gone, my grass was gone and the weeds were gone.  This thing sliced through my Texas dirt like butter.  It was an impressive sight to see the sculpting of the pool and the areas for the outdoor kitchen and my Art Studio.  Then over the next few days came plumbers, steel workers, foundation diggers (once again not the technical term, but it is what they did)..we did have one interesting delivery....a  Port-a-Potty. We laughed so hard when the truck brought this to our yard and asked where did I want it...Let's just say as far from the house as possible!!  It is so exciting to see all this unfold...a lot of choices, interruptions and new aspects we have never even thought of will surely be a part of our life for the next few weeks.   This will be a wonderful journey with many memories!!!Stay tuned.....

Rain, rain go away!!!


Rain, rain go away..come again another day!!  We know that we need the rain, but we are anxiously awaiting the beginning of the construction of our pool,  the outdoor kitchen and my new art studio..  But our singing was to no avail...The rain came and the rain won't go away until Saturday.  Then good weather on the horizon.  So perhaps it will be next week.  In the mean time, we are having a great time so far in this fast moving month.  Our youngest, Presleigh turned 8 on the 1st and was baptized on the same day.  Praises for that wonderful expression of her love for God and for her saviour in Jesus!!! Morgan is home for Spring Break and the girls are out next week!!! My parents celebrate their 48th wedding anniversay today!! What an example they have been and continue to be for my life!!  I have also been working on many projects and hope to get Spring creations underway!! Many events, many memories being made and many avenues to share joy are happening here.  Hope you are having many happy days....(by the way, I am lovin' my word for this year...Many)....
