Where is the Party II


Well, we are at crunch time we have until the 24th to get the shed up. The shed is currently 4 framed walls.

We have until the 29th to get the power and the water onto the property. We have the water hooked up and a ditch witch rented for the weekend. We have a Temporary electric pole up. We purchased a chain saw (way cheaper than a tractor) and Wayne has cut down one of the 3-4 trees that must be cut down to get the electricity onto the land.

Hopefully, we will close on our construction loan on Friday.

Please pray we find someone to watch Pearson on Friday & Saturday so I can be my husbands helper. Please pray that all of these tasks are completed so we can defray some additional costs from the storage unit and the RV Park.

Parker, had an allergic reaction to either the brush we were clearing or the dog. Today is the first day her features have appeared to be normal (she is still a little swollen but now only Ma can tell). She is so sad that Walnut (our yellow lab puppy) is in isolation at Rachel Curless's house. Wayne's also ill with stomach problems and Pearsy appears to be developing stys under her eye!On the fun front we have one day left of swim lessons and the girls have had a great time and have done a good job. Next week Peyton has Art Camp and hopefully Parker will have Tennis Camp and then we are done totting kids around town.

Really, as I was thinking about their summer schedules it has been a blessing to be in this RV park. Because God has pointed out that the amount of gas it would have taken to tote these kiddos to town everyday for 3 weeks would have been excessive. When we get out to the country we will surely be slowing down and spending way more time at the house! What a blessing!

We are truly blessed as we are working to live out one of our dreams of moving to the country and simplifying our lives.

Y'all come back now ya' hear!

Where is the party

Well, the party is at the Lazy G RV Park hopefully only until 24th or so when we will hopefully have the wonderful Mr. Kramer move this rig to our property. Let me tell you a 5th wheel, even a big 5th wheel, is small and we are all learning to adjust to life as a more close knit family. The kids really like sleeping on the "table" that turns into a bed and the couch that turns into a bed. Wayne's feet hang off the end of the bed by about a foot and a half...lol. The poor dog is so confused!!!

We are blessed to attend this wonderful church because so many folks are so willing to help and the latest folks are.... Donnie and Dixie let us come over and do our wash and give our kids a good scrubbing! I'm glad God has prepared us for this by eliminating our TV watching prior to this adventure. We really only watch movies once or twice a week.

For the next few weeks we are going to be running around and its really a good thing to be in town because we have 2 weeks of swim lessons followed by a week of Art Camp for Peyton. That would be a lot of gas money! Once we get out to the country the girls, Mrs.Rachel and I will start to work on the garden. Soon after we will be recruiting the Supers to help with the Chicken coop. As we get access to computers I will keep everyone updated!
