Tub Is Installed

The tub is almost secure in the new bathroom. Grandma supervises and makes sure grandpa sticks to the blueprint!

Break Time

All hard workers deserve a break now and then.

Christmas Vacation

After almost 6 weeks on the road, we decided to build a 2 bedroom house out of our room above the garage. I started by building a wall around the stairs. I had some good help. Natalie helped me pull up studs and Joelle worked on pounding nails.

Resting up

We are in are at a truck stop near Lodi California. It is pretty here, although it has started raining. But it looks like the sun might come out and chase the rain away.

A Long Trip !

We have been on a long trip from KY to CA. Whe had a hard time getting here. We ran into freezing rain in Nebraska and then fought the snow and ice for the next 800 miles. When we finally arrived in California we had our freight unloaded and went straight to the Motel 6 in Fairfield, about three miles from our delivery. What a relief to finally be where the weather is warm - although they think it is cold here!

Blogging

Grandma is an avid blogger. She can't wait to get the computer fired up so she can see what is happening with her children and grand children. What a blessing to have this wonderful technology. We are in the Motel room enjoying some space and the fact that we are sitting still!

Blogging

Here I am trying to keep up with our kids and grand kids by watching the blogs

Thrashed

This picture showes how dirty the back door is, but it doesn't begin to show how grungy the rest of the truck looks. When we started this trip back in KY we had just washed the truck and it sparkled.

Dripping

When we parked, I saw a lot of water dripping down from the underneath the truck behind the back wheels. So I looked underneath to find the problem - guess what I saw! See next picture. . . .

Glacier

There was the culprit - a glacier which after 24 hours was still dripping water. It was about twice that size when I first saw it. When we arrived at our delivery the truck was inspected by a security guard who ran a mirror underneath and all around the truck. At the back of the truck he spent a long time looking up at something to determine what he was seeing. It was the glacier !!
