A New Day...

Well, today is Wednesday, and today is a NEW Day! Thank you Lord for the clouds overhead (with no rain) but for the shade of it all...
My Bill has been working steadily since I left on Sunday...and wow...look at what all he has accomplished...

There is now a corner kitchen window and a dining room window... and wall separating the dining room from the mudroom.... OH, and the stairs....

The lone board sticking out on the left at the top of the picture is actually where my front french doors begin...

This view is the Kitchen wall separating the kitchen from the mudroom...and then you see the supports for the roof for the mudroom being built...and notice...it's dark.
The Rancher takes a picture or two in the morning and then takes a few at days end...
He is so special. :)

AND...WE HAVE A MUDROOM!

What A WEEKEND!

By the time I arrived at 12:30 a.m., Saturday morning, The Rancher had fixed a great pot of beans complete with smoked pork! That was soooo good! (We have about 40-50 wild hogs on our place)...

There's just so much to tell after that, I don't even know where to start!
NOW... can I just interject here how HOT it was this weekend!!!! My Rancher worked right on through it...if he noticed it was hot, he didn't let on! (NOTE TO SELF: clothes not to wear - thick jeans, red shirt, thick socks AND STEEL TOED BOOTS)
First day, before we EVEN started, The Rancher and I stopped to thank the Lord for the day, our place, and the strength and safety only He can provide...

Then we finished the flooring in the mud room, went to Lowes and picked up all the supplies to start framing and got after it! Just me and the hubs working, so it takes a little longer than a crew, but oh how fun it's been! Papa came out and painted fence posts until it was just too hot...
and the occasional deer, or ferrell cat were our company of the day...oh, that's right...humming birds too!!!

And here's the work as it has progressed over the weekend...then just some fun pics of me and the Rancher...

Isn't it just wonderful....the entire mudroom.
!UP!

AND this guy is my new friend that licks my car everytime I come to the gate and he's there...he wants me and the Rancher to give him a little yummies....AlfAfa....he even let me pet him this time....they were so cute...
