Checking In

We made it to Nashville and have been very busy the past 9 days.  Our time here has just flown by! 

Charlie did alright on his first plane ride - here he is waiting to go through security. 

Pat drove down to Nashville in one of our cars with some of our valuables/breakables that same day.  Father-in-Law of the Year Paul drove down our second car a couple days later (the same days our movers arrived with our stuff).  Here's a picture of him and Charlie at dinner the other night.  He was hard at work the rest of his time here - either in the basement or the yard.  He was a HUGE help, thank you thank you thank you.  Paul, I promise your next trip will be a little more fun.

Some of his hard work, accomplished with Pat...

1. Digging trenches so our rain runoff would be taken away from the house.  They put in those black pipe things (can you tell I had nothing to do with this task?)

 The 95+ degree heat meant they more than earned their cold drinks!

2. They did some major tree trimming: cut down a dead tree and cut down limbs that were close to or touching our roof.  You can see our house a lot better from the street now too.

 Some of the limbs, we have quite a pile in the front ditch now.

3. We bought a fridge!  We hit up the Sears Outlet and got one with some very minor scratches and dents. And we avoided the delivery fee by getting it home ourselves (somewhat tricky).

 Had to take the doors off to get it through our dining room door...

 Setting up the ice maker (yay!)

So much has been happening, we also bought a washer and dryer and got set up for wifi, got land line phones, and more.  So, I'm back online and have plenty of posts for you! 

Lastly, a couple pictures of CQ:
