We have been very busy. Our little home needed some serious repair...cosmetic mostly, but all of it is easier to do when it is empty rather than full of furniture. We painted our bedroom...i LOVE the color...Atmospheric from Pottery Barn (for those of you who are familiar). SO...airy, open, blue, and cozy. We moved our bed in last night and a few pieces of furniture. We are quickly realizing how small 800 sq. feet is. I should say...small for our things that had 1600 sq. feet to live in as well as a 2 car garage. But what we have lost in interiors, we have gained outside. Our backyard reaches up and over a rolling hill and down the other side. We have a pond, lots of oak trees, a large hay barn, lots of tractors and equipment to play with, a semi for delivering hay, three trucks to take us all over San Antonio, four dogs, one cat, two wells, and a lovely front porch to watch the day away. I've become the resident cook...with Linda working full time and Big Tom not adept at such things...I've been happy to meet the need for home cooked meals.
We've been busy with usual daily stuff that comes up on the farm (A day in the life-type posting is soon to come) and trying to get our home ready to move into. We got cell phones though!!! Very happy indeed. I even got the new 3G iphone...so I have somewhat high speed internet through that at home. Loving that.... I had an old, run of the mill, Nokia for 4 years..never broke it, never needed a new one. So, it's somewhat of a treat to have this high tech phone in my hands. I could rant about all of it's cool features, but I don't want to make you feel bad =)
OK, I am going to try to post a few pictures of our drive out here and our stops along the way.


and Payten Deehan. From here Riley and I flew on to Colorado to see my mom and Gene and the men drove on. They made excellent time, two days from Ontario, CA.
