Still unpacking

 Some days seem like we're going backwards, just moving boxes from one corner to another.  It will all come together, but impossible to say when.  Until then I don't have anything to show you indoors but it will happen.  Maybe. 

The Tim and Marty show just kept working on the driveway, which goes from the street all the way back to the alley, even new gravel in the alley.  They lost count at 22 loads.  I admit to a bit of the vapors when the bill was presented.

But it does mean no more mud.  Yay! 

                          Marty loves me!   Or maybe it's my checkbook.

A few loads of beautiful topsoil to fill in all the ruts from the trucks driving around there whilst moving houses to and fro.  Who knew dirt could be beautiful?

The hot tub got moved!  Three men and a truck.  With Al to supervise.

This great big truck for one small hot tub, all the way next door.

Notice the artichoke plants look pretty good, even without chokes.

Can't say much for the blueberries.

See all that new gravel in the alley?  

The key was the big lift, the ramp, and the door on the deck that swings open so they just rolled it right on over.

Too bad they didn't fix the hole where everything had to get ripped open to repair the leak.  Al says that's next on his list, but right now he's installing a new toilet.  We didn't like the puny little one that came with the house so now have a fancy skirted number, chair height for geezers, gentle close seat.  There are priorities in life, ya know.  The hall bathroom will be another day. 

Is it wine o'clock yet?
