Funny, how people have different descriptions of paradise ....for me it is here in the mountains, with all the trees, fresh air and critters. We have seen a few - multiple doe, rabbits, turkeys and a bear. Every drive is a pleasure - so little traffic and so much more courtesy....yep, that's paradise to me..
Finished the electrical and hand rails and are set up for the building codes folks to visit and sign off on our certificate of occupancy - then it is on to the appraisal. If we can get through all of this this week, then we can breathe a little and move on to working on the house a little at a time - there is a lot to do, but we can take it on a little more calmly. Soon we will have our bedroom set up in the new bedroom and can begin working on Jeff's den.
Got some baking done yesterday - gluten-free peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peach pie and blackberry pie. Fresh local-grown fruit - makes yummy pies. Fresh produce (locally grown) for salads - orange colored tomatoes that taste so great, greens, fresh peppers, cucumbers - so much flavor - beats the grocery store veggies and fruit....made the pb cookies for one of our staff who has celiac, but Jeff loves 'em too. No flour used at all...good stuff.
Meanwhile, if everything goes as planned, we can take the weekend off a little. I am joining a ladies group Saturday morning for prayer and support and then Jeff and I will check out the Butternut Art Festival down at Meeks Park. A little break on a Saturday in summer under the trees next to the creek....sounds like...well, like paradise.
Be blessed,
Kim
