Just a couple of picture updates on the house. It seems to finally be summer. Anyway, things are greening up around here. We still have a lot to do but slowly it is getting done. We are in the stages of starting the wood floors, completing the tile work, getting the driveway and excavation redone (after all the weather, etc), getting kitchen cabinet doors installed, etc, etc, etc! BUT, it's coming along. It will be wonderful to get in. I need to start packing boxes. Maybe I will have to put Mom to work. :-) Well, at least she can supervise. I need all the surpervision I can get.

Well, as Grandma put it, "It was a little windy on the trip up, but I made it!" Isn't this a cute picture? She is a great sport! We are definately having fun with her. She is struggling to get around but a real trooper. ;-)

Here is a picture of my sweet mom who now lives with me and my sister, Diane. We will take turns enjoying her in our homes.

Just a note about what has been happening in the lives of Diane (my sister) and Marty. Our mom can't live alone anymore so we went together to Ogden, where she lives, and got her ready to come to Idaho to live. We will take turns helping her. We are so fortunate! She is a delight! We love her so much so we will do our best to care for her needs. If you haven't met her yet, you will. She's a jewel!! We are blessed to have her in our lives. We are just going to be busy, I'm sure. I also started volunteering at the hospital. So between my everyday tasks, mom, grandkids, church and everything else I think I can stay busy enough to stay out of trouble!! :-)
Let's see now....where did I put my keys? Hmmm.

We got to go to Hawaii for two weeks with our best friends from high school, Bob and Alice Urry. Clyde's best friend married my best friend! It was so fun. We visited the Big Island where the volcano was erupting. What an interesting Island! Black rock everywhere and in the middle were green golf courses. We did so much and laughed so hard. It is definately a "do again" type trip. We also spent a week on Kaui, the Garden Isle! Beautiful!

Here are a couple of new pictures of the house. We are getting all the cupboards set, fixtures are going in and all of the appliances are now there to install. The tile has been almost completed in the areas that it will be. We are getting closer. We just keep saying "5 more weeks". But we say that almost every week! Everything is so green right now. This picture was taken before all the green. But I can say now that all the snow is gone! Oh, the wood floors will be started next week, too. We are loving it.
