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 updates

It has been so long since we have updated.  So many things have happened in these last two months.  So much work has gone on around the house.   We are now deep into fall and the leaves have turned and fallen and made for a beautiful yard.  I love the fallen leaves of all colors.  I just love fall and everything about it.  I think my favorite thing about "this" fall though is knowing that we are well on our way to finishing our dream home.  Jonathan had a friend over and they tore out the last of the ceilings.  Everything is gutted now.  David taught me to wire and insulate so I began that job in a couple of rooms upstairs.  At that time, we did not have an indoor shower and our outdoor shower had been shut down due to cold weather so it meant a trip to friends house to shower.  Itchy, itchy is all I can say about that.  I am excited to learn something new though that I can do while he is at work in preparation for him to come home and be able to work on something else.  We have finished the siding and as much of the roof as we can finish until we build the front dormer in the spring.  Last but not least we have an indoor shower now!!!  Yes, you read that right.  We put a shower in the basement.  It is so nice just to be able to take a shower any time of the day you want.  An indoor shower!!!  Take the time to browse through the photos below and see just what we have done.
