Two great things together!

Who knew that at this discount department store:
Lisa would find one of my favorite holiday treates?

Did you know that aplets and cotlets are actually forms of locoum, AKA "Turkish delight"? In what popular book-made-move is Turkish delight mentioned?

New Floor

 Our fun project - Before- Lots of cracked tiles.

 Demolition - It was so dusty - It took about 4 Hours to take up.  Everyone had their job, and they did a great job.

 Even Aly wanted to help!

All sanded, and ready for wood.

Pretty!

Spring has Sprung!

A Moose on the Loose....

Over a month ago this yearling moose wandered into town and began foraging for food in neighborhood back yards. He was in the area kind of up by the new green water tower. Gradually he moved closer to the McDonald School area. Last week we started getting automated phone calls from the McDonald Principle telling us the location of the moose and which route the kids should use to get to school. The police would arrive each day to supervise the foot traffic. Fish and Game kept saying to be patient, he would eventually move on - but he didn't. Some days he was just up the hill from Mom's outside classroom door. Finally yesterday we got an automated call saying Fish and Game had moved him to a new location.

We got the bid from the contractor we meet with. He listed Don Anderson as a reference. I called him last night and he highly recommended the contractor and then said, "didn't you have some kids that went to school in Moscow?" I said yes and he remembered us mowing lawns. etc. Did any of you have him as a teacher? I told him I thought his son Brady was Travis' age.

This week we will give the contractor the OK and we will make the purchase of all the stuff -tub, toilet, tile, faucets, etc, etc. We hope to start about mid April when the vanity we ordered several weeks ago should arrive.

Still lots of rain with a glimpse of the sun on rare occasions. It is foggy this morning.
