Its a nice day here in Oregon.

This is the view from the door out to the patio looking across the liv and out the dining room window. But of course, no stairs yet...

This is a view as if you were standing on the patio and looking in thru the back door and you can see the bay Window outline of the kitchen.... You have to sort of use your imagination a lot...

This is one a the few tiles I am going to use in Spencer's bathroom, which will have a sea life these... I am going to use like TEN of these tiles only because they are hideously expensive. From a co in MI called Pewabic Pottery Frog above and TURTLE Below... Cause Spencer is my TURTLE

It is sunny. We had a picnic at the Maple Street Park today. The dog is out playing with the goat in the field. Yesterday they were all out in the field, the goat, the dog, Bill and Spencer , and I was even out for a bit feeding treats to the goat. They were trying to fly Spencer's dragon kite he got for Xmas.. a great buy from Costco for 9 dollars, but they had no wind... We are thinking of a rule... No TV on Sundays anymore. He watches some during the week and that should be fine. Still the only TV I let him watch is SPROUT which is PBS Kids. He loves Sesame street Bob the builder OF course... He is getting out of KIPPER mode...

Spencer is unhappy with this rule, but there are plenty of better things to do when the weather is nice on a Sunday then TV. Like tickle Spencer and then read him 7 books and then go to the park for a picnic. We did not MAKE the picnic... we got Quiznos... but still fun. Amy Mamie the dog is feeling so much better, and we took her too!

Oh and the house has WALLS now.. at least on the first floor. It was weird to "walk In" to the house last night, but it felt oddly good. So. There you go. We have SO MUCH WORK to accomplish for the mediation and I am going crazy trying to get it all done and keep these lawyers and adjusters and other sometimes annoying people out of my hair with their deadlines. BUT I am getting it done somehow. Not fast enough for them.....but...
