Hay and The Annapolis Rock

George Halterman delivered hay this morning, 40 bales. We're in it now! Forty bales are now stacked in the garage/shed, on pallets. George's family is from here, has a road named after his grandparents. He had a very interesting story about THE Annapolis Rock, told us a portion of it is on his property.

The story, true or not, is fascinating. The Annapolis Rock was named because you could see the Annapolis capitol building from it's summit. The rock is made up of white quartz and was broken up over the years to make eye glasses. Apparently it is only about 600 feet above sea level at this time, having been mined and chipped over the years. I don't think you can see the State House in Annapolis.

Penn Dutch Structures Comes Through!

Penn Dutch Structures delivered the 10 x 18 run-in shed on Friday morning. Since he couldn't make it through the main gate, he drove up from the Utility right-of-way in the corn field and up to the pasture. The shed is beautiful! The boys come over for good tomorrow.

Thursday!

Moved the bed tonight, we no longer will spend the night at the old house. Another night spent in the trailer, A/C cranked! Irene sleeps with April, all through the night. Maybe she thinks she's a dog?

3 Days and Counting

The power outage lasted longer than we expected. The power came back on Tuesday late afternoon. Packing up in the dark, and it was still blazing hot.

Mircro-Wave/Fan Hood Installation

This is just plain AWESOME!! Tom did such a fantastic job putting the microwave/range hood assembly over the stove. It looks great, and works even better. He works like a dog and is a perfectionist. I can't imagine how much this would have cost for a professional installation.

5 Days and Counting...

Closer every day! Shower will be in on Thursday, run-in shed delivered on Friday. But the most exciting thing is that we have NO POWER at our old house! Horrific storm blew through on Sunday afternoon, dumping an inch of rain, which we needed, but caused wide-spread damage and power outages. Power allegedly will be back on Thursday? Our neighbor, Eric, called us about it, don't hurry home there's nothing for you here.

Moving Saga

Continuing to box things up, put them in the trailer. Washing walls and mouldings, putting discarded junk on the driveway for the City pick-up. My advice to anyone, moving or not, get rid of stuff you don't use anymore. We've held on to things so long that they are no good to anyone. Gaskets are dried out, plastic is shot, etc. My advice to anyone is to clean up, clear out before you have to. After 22 years in our house, we have accumulated all kinds of things, wanted or not. Now we don't want anything but our boys in the back yard.
