The end is near!!!

Yes - the end is near.  The new floors are in, the painters finished tonite (Sunday).  the movers arrive tomorrow as do our appliances and new chair/ottoman.  I am hoping that the sofa arrives on Wed. which means we will have a sofa by Christmas.  If not, well, I do have 16 folding chairs!!!!!  We are planning on having the new walk in shower installed on Wed/Thurs and then on Fri. we can have the pedestal sink and new toliet installed in the master bath.  After the furniture is in I will take pics and post them.  I went with a really pretty colors.  I choose Sherwin Williams Breezy (the lite color) and Labrodite (the darker color) for the house.  I really have stepped out of my "comfort zone" as far as color is concerned.  My sister really helped me with the color choices.  Our kitties have done well with the move.  Miss Kitty is in the same room right now with Lucy and Ethel.  I put her in the really big dog kennel (made for a golden retrevier size dog) at nite. Not sure I trust them not to have a tussell if I am not there.    Lucy and Ethel just plan ignore her - they make no eye contact.... there have been a few growls and a couple of paw jabs  from Lucy towards Miss Kitty but thats all.  I dont know how it will work out when they have free range of the house but we will see.  We plan on spending our first nite in our new home on Tues.  Wed. will be 3 weeks here and we are ready to check out of the hotel....but must admit I will miss HGTV!!!!!, housekeeping and the breakfast buffet every morning.  But it will be oh so nice to sleep in my bed again.  I am sitting here watching the final hour of Survivor.  I want Coach to win....but since the jury doesnt want to vote for anyone!!!!! should be an interesting final.  Once we check out from the hotel we will not have internet for a while.  We havent got one signed up yet for the house - so the only way to get hold of us is my cell -512 657 0660 or home number 903 561 8613.  Since I will not be posting until after Christmas Ken and I wish each and everyone of you a blessed and joyous Christmas and ask that we all remember the Reason for the Season....to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.   We love and miss you all.   Ken and Glynda  :)

We got moved!

Dear Friends and Family:  well, we got moved on Wednesday.  Ethel and Lucy were sedated for the whole trip and Miss Kitty, well, she must have known that we were moving cause she was ready.  I had brought her into the house on Wed. while I was doing last minute things.  When I went in to get her she was already laying asleep in her crate.  She meowed a few times and got quiet for the whole trip.  We droped them off at the house before we went to closing.  Went back to check on them that evening.  While at the house Ethel had a seizure which really scared the ### out of me.  She seems to be doing okay now.  She is still really freaked/stressed out - not adjusting like Lucy and Miss Kitty.  We are watching her really close.  There is a vet about 5 miunutes from the house and I plan to stop by and see them tomorrow to see if we need to bring her in.  We are still at the hotel.  Will probably be here for at least 2 more weeks.  The floor guy starts tomorrow and should be done by Thurs. and then hoping the painter can start asap.  Should take them 3-5 days to paint.  Then we can start to move in the furniture and finally live in our house!!!!!  My sister in law Margaret is in town so she helped me unpack the kitchen on Thurs.  Then my sister/ personal interior decorator came in Fri. to help me unpack.  We got out Sat. and hit 11 - yep - 11 stores.  Bought a new sofa and chair for the living room.  Beckie has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and have chosen some really pretty colors for the house.  We had the living room to hallway door, master bedroom door and the master bath door widened to 36" to make Ken getting thru them easier.  We also had the toliet and vanity removed.  Once the new floor is in we will put in new toliet and a pedestal sink.  Then we just have to wait for the new walk in shower to be put in.  We still have to come back to Webberville so that we can empty out Ken's shop.  That should take a day or 2.  Lots to do over the next 4-6 weeks, but then we will fell somewhat settled in.  Missing all our friends and family in Austin.  Hope everyone will have a wonderful Christmas season and enjoy the time with your family.   Love to all Ken and Glynda :)
