OUR NEW FAMILY ADDITION

On March 15, 2007 our precious little grandaughter Nora Alida made her long awaited debut. She weighed in at a hefty 9 pounds 15 ounces. Mom, dad and babe are doing well and now home getting use to each other. Grandparents galore have been by to goggle and awe, as well as the many aunties, and uncles. She is already very precious to all and will for sure be another added blessing to a wonderful family.

SUMMER IN FULL BLOOM

Our lot is looking very nice and the new garden is blooming along. The new unit is awesome and roomy! We live for our next visit up there. Aaron spends his days off and enjoying his freedom, occasionally he comes home for the odd meal but more often than not we have go and find him.



The water is a calming feature and at night the crystal balls illuminate in multi color (by accident... I thought they were white).

Here are a few updated photo's:

In the first one if you see the raccoon peeking out behind the rock just in the center of the picture... Well he is peeking out for a reason... As he had a terrible accident having had 1/2 his body amputated by a crazed shoveling Viv who accidentally stepped on him. And he being ever so "delicate" crumbled. We saved some of him and "planted" him behind a rock. Hoping that this will not traumatized any young soles who may pass by.

THE DAY THE MOUNTAIN WAS BUILT

This weekend we worked really hard and I appreciated the dedicated help I had to bring my plan to fruition. The "mountain" has been built and though a lot smaller than I talked up about it is exactly as I envisioned! The tranquil sound of the fountain makes our little Den even more of a paradise! Just a few more plants over the next few visits and it will be just right.
I really would like to thank the hard work of my help. Even though at the end of "could you just move that rock a little bit over there" I think I had pushed them as far as I could (remember what happens after the Christmas tree is up and you went to bed :)). It was a job well done, too bad the hot tub was not HOT! We really needed it after that.

And here's pic of our weekend job all done!

WE HAVE UPGRADED OUR DEN

We apparently contracted a disease known only to affect RV'ers; it is known as 2 footitis. The cure is to add 2 ft but we added more than 2 feet so hopefully (or apparently according to hubby we have to be in remission for at least 10 years). So here is a pic of our treatment; an upgraded trailer. 34.5 ft long with 2 slides, great layout and lots and lots of room.

THE SLEEPING AREA

Roomy bedroom area with desk and "walk in" closet area with lots of storage. The bifold door holds the washer/ dryer unit and the other door is the toilet. To the left is the shower.

THE LIVING AREA

this is the view of the living area, great for watching those movies on a cool rainy night

up the stairs is the bathroom and bedroom area

THE COOKING AND EATING AREA

This is a pic of the inside, great kitchen with lots of cupboard space, the slide makes it roomy and easy to move around. Good size fridge, big microwave and lots of windows for light.
