I have not moved in yet. We are having a challenge in getting the electrical and water lines to the house. Each weekend we think we are going to dig, the rain gods decide we will not. Within in a 3 week period we had over 8 inches of rain. I have at least got all the rooms painted and all kitchen cabinet work is done - just not painted. That will be next weeks job-painting the wood on the enter part of the exterior doors and windows. I have put this job off as long as I could.

On a sad note, I lost the youngest of the dogs - Sam. Sam was never a healthy dog. Buddy found him on the road and soon after Buddy died, we found out that Sam had abnormal bone plates. What we did not know is that his vertebra in his neck where not forming correctly. Last week he was in such pain that he was even crying when he was laying down. The vet said there was no help even with surgery, so he is now pain free and playing with the rest of the Oliver Gang. We will miss his sweet face and loving heart.
