Springing Forward









A sure sign that Spring is right around the corner is when the Redbuds begin to bloom. This gnarly old tree is just off our porch. I hope that it will hang in there with us for a few more years because it is so pretty. A few more days and it should be in top form!

When I drove up to the lake house, the only sounds to be heard were the birds singing. It was so peaceful and relaxing! I took some time to feed the deer and enjoy the sounds of nature knowing that it wouldn't last very long.

Right on cue the tile guys (and gal) arrived. I wanted to be there before they started tiling to check all the selections to be sure they were correct and going in the right places. Not that I don't trust the builder to be sure that everything is right, but changing a mistake in the tile is not something that can easily be fixed once it is laid - better to make that extra check, just to be sure! (Shauna, I'm sure you are laughing right now!)

The kitchen will get granite tile on the countertops with ceramic tile backsplash.

Both bathrooms will have ceramic tile counters and tub surrounds. The master bath will also have tile in the separate shower.

The floor of the the main living areas - kitchen, dining, and living rooms - will have brown tile. I have no idea what it will look like because, as they were bringing in the boxes, every tile looked completely different!


We shall see what the whole thing looks like when it is done - should be completed by Monday! It makes me a little nervous...hope I made the right choices...

Not only were the tile guys and gal working, but some plumbing guys came to lay new water line from the meter to the house - a total of 200 feet. They will also make the connection to the water line coming from the house.

By Saturday, we should have a better idea of what it will all look like, so stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed that it will all end up okay!
