We are just a normal family that desires to live as debt free as possible and be a blessing to others. This blog is about part of our journey to get there. Come often and view our progress as we take the plunge with our "dream" home. Oh, you may see it as a nightmare but sit back and watch as our dream becomes a reality. A reality where we can enjoy the company of those traveling through as they stop and enjoy a good nights rest and some old fashioned home cooking. If by chance you live in the area or are traveling through, stop in and see for yourself what we are doing as you sit a bit and enjoy a glass of sweet tea. If nothing else, just come often and watch as this dream of ours unfolds right before your very eyes.

operation back to work

It seems like forever since we worked on the house.  David had knee surgery and is just now getting back to where he can move around a little bit. I really think he is trying to do too much but guess you can't keep a good man down.  On Monday, we went out to the property after school and set the camper back up in the outbuilding so we would have a place to sit when we are there and the girls can do their homework.  Reese spent the afternoon with us playing with the girls. David got the chimney top put on and then fired up the wood stove for the first time.  Didn't have dry enough wood in it so it only got up to about 250.  He went back yesterday and fired it up again and was able to get it to over 500 with no problem so I guess that is done.  Now to seal the house up so we can use it!  The kids and I stayed home yesterday but David went over and finished the block pieces around the window so he can start on the floor today.  Today will be a very long day for all of us!  I have to get supplies and the men folk will be working to get the floor joist started so maybe tomorrow we will have floors and be ready for walls!  Exciting times!  Oh, and my glass block window photo... that was from a couple of weeks ago but I forgot to upload it!
