Well folks it's done. Hard to believe that after all this time we actually can say it is where we live. People are asking if we are moved in yet and the answer is always a question of "how do you define moved in."

I usually tell everyone that all of the boxes are on the property. That's about it.

We started almost 3 years ago to the day. Peg's folks first filed the Measure 37 paperwork on June 6th, 2006. We spent the first might there on June 10th. How could we ever properly thank Peg's folks for their land, our son for his design, and the Amersons for their craftsmanship. You will have to see it to truly understand how much we enjoy the finished product.

We go to bed each evening with no sound. No traffic, no neighbors, and no sirens. Maybe a coyote or a grouse making a little noise but that's about it. The deer come and go pretty quietly.

For now you will have to settle for pictures of the outside. Ian took these last weekend when he and Bethany were out. They helped start filling the gallery bookcases with all of our "stuff" that we have gathered. It looks real nice and after we have sufficient boxes out of the way we will post a few more pictures of the inside.

The great room is pretty much intact now. With the kitchen complete, the dining room in pretty good shape and the family room portion all taken care of. (aka...The big screen is in place.)

We are working on the bedroom and Peg has her furniture in place in her room. That basically leaves the den and the garage which are my responsibility. So guess what??? They are not ready.

The one big issue that we are dealing with is that at this point we do not have e-mail at the house yet. So for those of you who are wondering why we aren't answering your messages, it is because we are not getting them.

So give us a couple of days and we will get more on here.

Take care, Ron & Peggy
