Life from where we are

The progress on the porch has been very slow because of the weather.  They left early Friday as it was raining &, of course, did not work over the weekend. Monday it down poured the entire day!  Yesterday morning we had a little freezing rain but they were at the house by 7:00am anyway. When I left for work at lunch time this is what it looked.....yeah! These guys are good.....they are building what's been floating around in my brain for the last 5 years! Love Val💖

Okay so we have a roof but no ceiling We have a floor😛but be very careful where you step Yes that's my car in the driveway for the second straight day!  There's still no room for it in the garage Oh yes & the furniture showed up today so it's getting a little crowded around here! Love Val💖

My long winter hiatus is over & it's back to work I go.  It's 23F this morning but I have to be there by 8:00am to answer the phone because the golfers are going stir crazy & at this point just want to play no matter what.  Hopefully, it will warm up some if we see the sun.  This has definitely been the longest winter ever. I recorded LiLi playing with Popster last night & in the first video notice her sleeves......they eventually got in the way which is why she stopped😜 She's on a new kick with always ordering a burger when she goes out to eat so  we will now call her the "Burger Queen"!   I cannot resize this picture as blogger is giving me fits on uploading photos & this is the best I can do until I figure out what's going on!
