Loving each day. :)

Time is quickly flying by. I hope it goes by as quickly while Joe's in Alaska! But until he goes we are busy trying to get as many projects taken care of as possible. I am so grateful for each day he's home...
He's been busy... put several sheets of drywall up in the basement, a new light fixture in the bathroom, got rid of the old medicine chest and hung a mirror. The bathroom is by no means how we want it for good, but at least now you won't get shocked! The old medicine chest had a metal frame and a wire was grounding out. It was high on the "must do" list. Our plans for our partial basement and one of the garages is to turn it into a multipurpose room, half bath and pantry. The bathroom is little more than a closet just now as there isn't any plumbing yet. lol The actual living space will be a tv room that will convert to guest space. As slow as the work goes...I am enjoying seeing it come together.  =0)

Friday was a sad and upsetting day for everyone here as we had to have Dixie put to sleep. Neither Joe nor I have ever had to have a pet put down. Let me just say...my nose was as red as Santa's. I'm so glad Joe was home to say goodbye and to go with me to the vet. I can't imagine having to go through that alone. ='(
Dixie was such a good girl...she'd been with us for 14 years. We'll all miss her something fierce! I found a cute picture of her and Matt when she was probably 5 months old and Matt just a bit older but I can't get my scanner to work. If I can figure the blasted thing out I'll upload it.

Until then...here's a couple pictures from the Blizzard of 2013!

 

The top one is of me...shoveling a path around the deck, through the yard to get to the chicken coup! teehee.....

 

The stop sign down the road from us. We live on a loop. Not sure what possessed us...but Rachael and I thought Saturday morning; while the wind was still howling; would be a good time to take a walk around the block and check out all the snow. Insane, I know.... 

Jodi, using the snow blower to try to clear the driveway. That was after he had plowed it 3 times. >.<

And just so you're not left with cold feelings from seeing all this snow....Here's a picture of some of the roses from the firehouse's rose sale for Valentine's day! =0)
