Sunday, December 17th, 2017…...
I forgot to mention
in the last post that Penny left Quincy with us yesterday. She wanted to go grocery shopping and do some
Christmas wrapping and that way I could have Quincy here to walk, saving her
some time. I got up and got dressed and went out. The weather has been warming up a little each
day. When it’s dry, it’s cold – when it
warms up, it gets rainy. We’re hearing
that pretty soon both might sync up and it will be cold and the rain will turn
to snow. They did get some measurable
snow here a few times last year. Nobody
is used to that here and Tina, our mail lady, said it pretty much shut down the
town. I don’t care so long as I don’t have to go out and drive in it!
I went out and
checked the stakes that my guys put out for the cement pour for the
garage. I’m having it built right at the
end of the driveway, between the house and the shop. I think that will give us a nice bit of room
to park the rig plus room on the pad next to that for a guest rv to park and
hook up. Next step is for Tim to file Monday for permits with the county.
The rest of the
day I relaxed and played with Quincy and cleaned up a bit in my shop. Lydia reorganized her craft room and got her
chair in place (and I got her old one out to use in my shop). She also started in on her annual pumpkin
bread batches. We won’t see too many
folks this year so she won’t make as much as in the past but I still look
forward to her delicious goodies this time of year!
Monday, December 18th,
2017…... I went out this morning and got going on my
shop table project. I had to go get some
hardwood for the band and found poplar at Home Depot. I cut and mitered the pieces but before I
could get them on, Tim & Dana came by.
They were coming back from the county office where they filed for the
permits and came over to get any updates or changes from us. We also gave them
the first progress payment. They said they expect it to take a week for the
permit to get approved. Meanwhile, they are
wrapping up on another job. That will put the date after Christmas before they
start to bring in equipment and start prepping the area for foundation - but
still, we are starting to get excited about getting this going!
