Snow Is Gone


Almost all of that nasty snow melted on Sunday. The only snow that is left is what the snowplows piled up. We are happy about that.

It seems that there is a lot of "hurry up and wait" when it comes to moving to our new house. We can't really do much right now, but we are all getting very anxious. The seller wants to change the closing date, but we really don't want to do that. He wants to change it a Monday and that really messes things up for us. Daddy will have to take more time off from work. We have to spend more money for the hotel and storage. We wouldn't have as much help moving, etc. We told him we could change it, but we would need to be reimbursed for our additional costs. We haven't heard his answer yet, but we don't think he will want to give us any additional money.

We are still searching for a bed. The bed we wanted can only be delivered on a Friday. That just doesn't work for us since we are closing on a Friday and we won't have a time until right before. We don't want to sleep on the floor for a week. The folks are going out again this weekend to search again. We could always have it delivered to Grandma's but Daddy said he doesn't want to pay to have it delivered just to have to move it again. Mama's a little stressed, but it will be okay.

The area we are moving is 8 minutes away from tons of fast food and stores. They even have a Papa John's. We fell in love with Papa John's since living here. There is no pizza delivery except maybe Domino's. I guess we can't have everything.

This Is Not Funny....Mother Nature!






What's up with all of this? We had 80 degree weather earlier in the week. We had a little snow on Friday and then 5-7" yesterday and more is predicted for later this week. :::sigh::: Mama says at least we are not moving this weekend.

On the bright side, the pizza man came last night. The pizza bones were very good.

We Have An Announcement!



After 12 days of negotiations, we have bought a house!!!! Sound the trumpets! We had an agreement on price and then we had the inspections and at that point, we thought it was all going to fall through. We didn't get everything we wanted and we are sure the homeowners didn't get everything they wanted, but in the end, I think we are all happy.

Mama is getting very excited about our new home. She already knows where she wants to hang the bird feeders and the hummingbird feeder. She has really missed feeding the birds this past winter. We hope that the raccoons leave us alone at the new house.

Daddy says the house feels right to him. It's 1,248 square feet. Our old house was 2,611 square feet, but since our hotel room is only about 600 square feet, the new house will feel big to us.

I will have a deck to lay on this summer and Scout will have a yard to run laps in. Oh, sure, I will run a little, but I prefer to run in the house. Mama says it's really not big enough to run it, but it there's a hallway, it's big enough.

The best news is that the house will be paid for in cash and we will not have a mortgage! That was our goal and that's why we sold our "dream house" in the first place.

Spring Scenes At Our Hotel

We have been having really nice weather here. It's been in the 70's and 80's. The tulips are blooming!

Scout is more impressed in the flowers than I am or maybe she is impressed with the spot on the concrete.

The trees are budding out.
Mama's allergies are acting up. No photo of that.

Scout thinks it's already too hot to walk and it is doing her impression of a train caboose. We have to pull her along.

Here we are back at our room. The magnet says "Pets Inside", which means, enter at your own risk. LOL

Yes, it was a very short walk. What can I say, we took this walk right before Judge Judy came on and we didn't want to miss a second of her.
