Whelp! we made it through another weekend
Friday we pulled our camper (still unorganized with all our wordly possessions) to our new
property for the weekend. I had my doubts that we would get the 31 1/2 foot monster up the hill but the bigg old Ford deisel didn't let us down. I let my DBF down - because I wasn't paying attention to where he was backing up our monster and ended up WAY too close to a tree. After many attempts of pulling ahead and backing up - the monster finally
found its resting spot in an area that was cleared for the well and eventually most of the house (a lot more land to clear) . First picture is of the land without clearing
The following are pictures of the land and road cleared and our 4 legged daughter.
Saturday morning we awoke - started the generator so the batteries on the monster wouldn't die and I set to work on overhauling the belly of the beast. I took everything out of every cabinet, nook and cranny sorted and restocked all nooks and crannies. I can happily say that I know where everything is in that beast. DBF was looking for something and asked where did you put such-and-such. I could say - "Such-and-such is in this cabinet, on the "insert shelf number here" on the right or left, behind "the other such-an-such". I think everyong gets the picture..
Saturday, darling Boy Friend - spent most of his day cleaning out the sencond part of the shed - laying down the floor and burning wood/items that we no longer needed - plus any downed trees he could easily get to.
As I was cleaning Saturday, our new neighbor stopped over to intoduce herself. She scared the beegeezes out of me (do bee's have geezes???) . She is a very nice lady - whose kids just happened to go to high school with DBF so it was like a reunion of sorts.
I managed to get in some crochet time before dinner on Saturday, and almost finished my doily when DBFs parents arrived as a surprise. Mom is concerned because of the very steep hill on the way into the house and also concerned because she says we are totally out in the "wilderness" and can't imagine how life will be up there. We tried to assure her - but I don't think it worked.
Sunday - it rained and rained. - I did manage to finish my doily and to finish a flower for a swap I am in (WHOO HOOO) I accomplished a few things on my list other than sorting and cleaning.
The rain let up just enough so that DBF could almost finish putting the floor in on the other side of the shed and we managed to clear out a few piles of "things" laying about. There was definately a sense of accomplishment Sunday afternoon. We had dinner with the folks and went for icecream before I turned back to crochet. I'm finding out that I have to increase my hook size for all patterns that have gauges (I guess I just crochet too tightly). We finally settled down to watch a movie about 9:30 - Monster in law - I highly recommend it as it was very very funny.
