October Update

October 2, 2015
      So much to catch up on.
       We basically have about a 90% functional home.  Walls are textured and painted.  We have laid a little over 1100 square feet of flooring in the addition and guest bathroom.  Next we will floor the hall ways and then progress to our bedroom and master bath.  Joe can't set my slipper bathtub until the bathroom flooring is down.  He might be afraid I will quit work and just soak for days on end.
      The dark flooring really sets off the white cabinets and the it brown pin striping.  The kitchen has turned out to be gorgeous and functional beyond my dreams.  This next month we will paint the molding and put it around the top of the cabinets like crown molding.  We will reset the base molding , hang the pantry doors and Walla, we will have the kitchen finished.  I have even taking up cooking meals.  My new cooking interest though is baking white bread.  This is something I just couldn't master in Phelan.  I think it had something to do with the altitude.  I have been baking two loaves of bread daily or every other day for over a week.  As the old saying goes, "Practice makes perfect".  I am now cranking out consistently good homemade bread -- no I am not using the bread machine.
   Since the weather is cooler, we have been taking some time to weed, plant flowers, work on the chicken coop, and bush hog more of the pastures.
