But I'm still with Tom on this one! Very exciting!!! So far just a dream for this 53-year-old. It probably wouldn’t take five months were it not for all the wiring involved!

(Ever strike you as odd that God could create the whole world in seven days and it is going to take contractors 150 days for your house? :) :)) Hope your health problems clear up so you can fully enjoy the building experience.

We'll have an open house for any and all blogging buddies who want to come and can make it when our house is completed! The web cam, virtual home tour is a thought, too. Tom, of course, being the typical male, wants to wire the entire house for speakers/cameras/surround sound - you name it, whatever - while we're at it and having to wire the house, anyway, right?! So we might as well. We'll see. I was out Friday here in town looking at flooring, etc, and all of a sudden all of the 11 years of thinking about this project and making plans for "one of these days" and our builder telling us it's going to take at least 5 months to build it, seems like just a quick pause in time until we've got to have all of the decisions made so we can move into a complete house! Yikes!! I panicked after about an hour (plus, was not feeling well at all) and had to bolt the store, telling the lady helping me I'd be back this next week sometime to continue on. Good grief, y'all! This is difficult. (I DID pick out some wood flooring and ceramic tile I liked a whole lot, though, for the dining/living room and kitchen/breakfast area/utility room, etc.) I really have not been feeling well at all the past several days, so y'all pray for me, if you will, that I can keep up with what needs to be done. Poor Tom, who can't keep a full staff, still, now one YEAR after Katrina, had to go to work Saturday afternoon about 3 p.m. and didn't get home Sunday morning until well after 5 a.m. He ran fever most of the afternoon and was extremely sore all over from the exertion and strenuous physical work of trying to get the big, fat Sunday paper out. In addition to the fatigue, of course. It's hard here in Katrina Zone, still. Really hard. Please pray for us and for all who live and work here. Pray for all Christians here and disaster workers. I have to have laser surgery on my right eye Wednesday afternoon, so please pray that will go well and that my vision won't be too messed up from it for too long and will then be better. I'll be having my vision checked in several weeks to get new glasses that will hopefully (by then) help me see considerably better. Cheers! Dee Sure!

I wish you guys the best of luck in your house building! Thanks for the comment. We miss Abilene from time to time (well, everything except that HOT weather!). We have so many good memories from there, since that is the place we fell in love. Good to hear from you, and you guys take care! This is so pretty!

This is a beautiful setting!! Are you going to have an open house for all your blogging buddies? Might be a bit too far to travel for some of us, though. Perhaps you could set up a web cam and have a virtual open house. I pray God's continued blessings upon you and Tom. -bill Wow! This is a beautiful setting!!
