New Springhill House

Plans are to start moving in the new house June 1st, 2009. Start of summer vacation. Inside is finished. Yard just needs alot of landscaping, some grass would be nice. 87 degrees here today. Looks like it's going to be a hot move. City girls gone country. Here we come.

Hope you all are doing well. I miss keeping up with these blogs. I've got to do better with that. Hugggs ~ Hope everyone is well and having a good day.

Springhill House

We have a new house! Yes it's really built. Sitting out there in the middle of the forest.
Still alot to do on finishing it. Major things left are carpet, paint, hook up water lines, connect power, landscapeing, moving our out door building from here to there.
Thinking hopefully we won't actually move out there until this summer after school's out.
Would save me 40 mile round trip school drive if we could wait till June.
Have to wait and see how things go on that.
Trying real hard to accept change. Going to be alot of that this year!

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope to catch back up with all soon! hugs

Summer Vacation

Just popped in. Seeing I haven't wrote anything here since June 1, wow where did June go. Well on to July...This was fun month for us. Had a nice 4th party with family and friends. Next week we had 4 day beach vacation. Sun, fun, good eats, and relaxing. Did some biking, putt putting, shopping and lots of swimming. The next week we went to north ga mountains. Hiking, water falls and spent a lot of time on the mountain lake. Then back home for a week. Next week we went back to the same mountain area, since hubby is working there. Did same stuff and enjoyed it just the same. Crisp air and great views. Found a friend from back home that has just built a log house 8 miles up one of the mountains. I could go on and on about that. It was just beautiful with a wild adventure ride on a 4 wheel drive Polaris.
Sweetie is back in school now (Kindergarten) and doing great. Lots better start than pre-k was.
House plans still moving along. Exact layout should be finished next week.
So maybe they will get started on foundation in a couple weeks. I am just stuck in a rut trying to pick the color on the tops for kitchen counters at the moment.

Oh I just remembered what happened in June. We got this:

Sunday is the new puppie, sister to CJ


Hope you all are doing well. Once again, sorry I haven't been reading all. Going now and next week to try to catch up with everyone. Huggggs~

Maybe Building Now??

Trees are cleared on the spot we plan to move.

Mom (Mother in law) in hospital for weeks. Diabetic with 5 surgeries on foot and leg in last two months. Had to amputate half her foot last week.
She's 65 having some strange mind things going on. They say she hasn't had a stroke though. We think maybe it's because they have had to keep her
blood so thin. It has affected her brain in some way.
She thinks her left hand is taking over. Almost has if it is not a part of her body. She drinks from a cup and says her left hand is trying to take it away.

Back to the moving thing. Well hubby is saying now maybe we will build.
Sounds good to me. Note...I'm still not having much excitement about this.
Thinking about much more driving than I do now. Being away from
civilization, going county. Will be so different for me.

Sweetie girl is doing good. Graduated Pre-K. Enjoying summer break.
Plans for a few days at the beach soon! I probley would be putting in pool for her here if we were not in this process of moving. Sigh...Deep breath.
Just have to take it days at the time. See what happens.

The Move part one

This past Easter weekend we made a big decision in our life. Making the move. Living in town All my life. We are now moving to the country. We have our new house picked out already. Getting some trees cut this weekend, marking off the spot to get the site ready to start making the yard.
Selling our Brick house here. Our double wide home will be twice the size of this. Will be a lot different. I am so nervous! Trying so hard to stay cool and go with the flow. Wish me luck please, I do feel this is going to be a good thing and we will be much happier there in the country. I'll keep it short. Because this is probley what I'll taking about for the next year. Keeping updated on our moving progress. Four months is a short time!
Will we be moved in by August 1, 2008 is the big question??

Twitter

I found something new yesterday. It's called Twitter. Seems to be a pretty good thing. Everyone types a few words of what they are doing. You choose people you are interested in following and have people that follow you.
Fun way to find new friends and learn some new stuff along the way. Come on over lets have a Tweet at Twitter!
Now that song is in my head haha!
He rocks in the tree tops all day long Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song All the little birdies on Jaybird Street Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Trees

Pretty Colors Tree
Memories of the day me and my best friend played hookie from school.
We stayed up high in the middle of a hugh oak tree all morning. Then we decided to go the resturant down the road and eat lunch. This is where we got caught by her mother and that ended our hookie day.



The Basket Tree
Six Sycamore Trees grafted together in over 40 places to form "The Basket Tree" Very interesting how someone took the time though all the years to guide this tree into growing this way.



The Oldest Tree in the World This tree is a bristlecone pine named Methuselah. It’s the oldest tree in the world, at 4,838 years of age.

Happy New Year 2008!

Happy New Year Hugggs Blog Buddies,
We had a nice christmas. Fun with family, playing with the kiddy toys is always a hoot around our house. Watching men play with nerf guns was the highlight. Hubby got a new red tractor, a really big toy for him. He spent new year's eve and all new year's day plowing, pushing up bushes and trees. Me and Sweetiegirl cooked the traditional new years day dinner. Blackeyed peas ( she calls them blackeyed peanuts ) Greens, yellow rice and Bacon. Cheers with bubbly Sierra Mist :)
Still wearing her Happy New Year tierra today. Playing Webkinz... A pretty
nice computer game for her. She has the puppie (Ringo) and the frog (Rosie). Sunny and Freezing cold here today. But we have to get out there and get going soon.
Sweetie goes back to school tomorrow and it's going to be freezing again. brrrrrrrr!

May the new year flood your home with happiness,your heart with love, your life with fulfillment, your soul with strength, your body with good health,your mind with wisdom...and your computer with lots of ram !
