Hey everyone - The builders have been at the house since Wednesday working inside now since the roof is done. They were finishing up the interior walls today. It is really taking shape inside more and more everyday. It is so exciting to watch the changes each day. It rained and poured all day Thursday and was real cool. It is hard to believe it is really the middle of May the way the weather has been lately. Our windows and doors will be delivered tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will really look tremendously different once those get in. The fireplace hasn't gotten started yet but I'm sure it will before too much longer. The roof will also be finished off tomorrow. I am so amazed that now 1 month after we started where we are already at. We started on April 14 so it is truly a blessing that the weather has cooperated so well thus far.

For those of you who didn't know. My step son Derek and his wife, Meredith are also building just down the road from us. They aren't more than a couple miles away from us. We are so fortunate for that. I hoped one of the boys if not both would live close to us when they grew up and we got our wish. I haven't been over to there house this week; but Roger says there place is really coming along. They got their roof put on yesterday. I will have to go over and inspect the changes their this weekend while I'm off.
