September 20th - Wow!

First, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to 
Lauren Elisabeth Elias - our doll-baby granddaughter who turns 13 today!!!!! Woo Hoo Lauren!

Back at 6221 Motts Village Road ..................

We missed going there yesterday - another time when life and our hectic social schedule (gag) got in the way. The men must have worked over, overtime, and then today -

The men are so nice and so happy for photo-ops. 

Definitely another blueberry coffee cake for Monday!

Here are a few interior shots

The garage windows. 

That fantastic big window laying against the back doesn't belong to us. Damn!

The pantry door to outside.

The dining room windows and - on the left - the window over the kitchen sink.

The door on the left goes into the lanai (aka screened in porch), and the door on the right is from our bedroom to the porch).

Our bedroom windows.

The center support in the garage. We don't think it will fall down!

We can only imagine that they will be done with the bricks either Monday or Tuesday. As Phil said tonight, "It's beginning to look like a real house". He is so right. We have a few concerns - we picked out a garage door that is a dark color. We didn't think we picked out an actual front door color and style, but it seems that we did. We'll clarify that on Monday. Everyone has been so beyond nice that we doubt there will be a problem. 

One week and two days until we leave for France. We spent a lot of today plotting and planning lights and receptacles if that is to be done while we're gone. I admit to needing more and more light to see clearly. Oddly, Jeff is just the opposite. Viva la differénce I guess! If we don't meet with the lighting people before we go away, the contractor will halt work until we get back (October 21st to Wilmington). Again, we are so lucky to live so close to the new house and not have a set timetable. We can only imagine what it would be like if we were in a rental apartment with the dogs, cats, and our earthly belongings...

"Sherry. Meet you on the courthouse steps on Monday - divorce Tuesday".

Thanks for reading this - again, we accept any and all suggestions and criticisms! (although we cry easily)

Hugs,
