The WILD CHILD

"Lucy" our WILD CHILD looks as if she has already took up residence at the new house. Actually, this very lot is the lot that Lucy lived, alone and begging the neighbors for food, for the first 4 months of her life. She started jumping in the lake to follow Phil's boat when he was clearing the land. And , the rest is history. She is the most hard-headed, independant, dog that we have ever seen, yet we love her and Lucy loves us.

A Look at Fall From our Future Back Yard

This is the views we will have when our house is finished and we look out the windows or step on the back decks. I am so excited and so thankful that the good Lord has blessed us with this opportunity. I hope all our family and friends will find that this home is well worth the drive. Our new home will be exactly 8 miles from the state police barracks just off Exit 41.

Fall Day on the Lake

Now that we officially live on the lake , I thought it fitting to show some of the scenes of the beautiful Fall season that we are having.

IT"S ABOUT TIME FOR AN UPDATE

Yes, I have been getting nasty calls about my negligence in added new material. I truly have a good excuse. When I returned from visiting Tiffany, Jordan and Titus (which is an entry in itself), I was getting my window updates and the thing froze up. It has been in the shop since. Just got it back today. PRETTY SOLID EXCUSE,
don't you think?

Progress on the house is slowing progressing. They are working overtime on the rain-free days. We have poured 385 tons of gravel in the basement floor.

Rainy rainy few weeks

Not a lot to report on the construction of the house. A few more walls of concrete are up and really too muddy to get too close. However Phil, battled the elements and took a few pics of the progression. Yes, you can say, 'This house is being built on a firm foundation'. These are pics of the foundation walls. There is one of the guest bedroom. It is on the ground level(for grandchildren, of course,)and is the one that shows a bay window in the sitting area of the bedroom.

For a little entertainment for those who are interested. This is an update of Lucy. She is a smart dog, but strong willed, "Just like most "GOOD WOMEN". She will be 7 months old on October 4Th. (give or take a month or two,the Vet said. ha ha).
