Things are moving right along over here. We're on countdown mode. 10 more days until packing day. I still can't believe that. I remember wondering if this house would even sell. Now we're in the final stretch.
Tuesday it looked like a scene right out of the movie Mr. Mom around here. I had the furnace guy, the gardener, the termite guys, the painter guy, and who ever else might have roamed inside. Remember that new furnace being installed? Well the guy had to come back because of course the first one he installed had a defective board in it. Tuesday that was fixed, but while the guy was way up there in the attic, all of my smoke alarms began to go off. Now I was doing some baking but I never saw fire!!! No smoke.........so I ran to the bedroom and yelled up to Alex. Nothing, no answer, I was YELLING, I ran outside where the other guys were working on the house and no one but me was noticing that maybe, just maybe I should call the big red truck. You know the one that's full of FIREMEN?? I ran back to the bedroom and decided ok I need to go up this ladder and hope that Alex is not lying there DEAD. I just knew he was. The smoke alarms were beyond loud. There were at least six of them going off all at once. As I was going up and yelling his name, he crawls out. I say, are you alright???? He says, Oh I told Dennis that all the alarms would go off because the oil is burning off the new furnace the first time you turn it on. Well.............Mr. hunka did not tell me that little tidbit. Later that night I tell hunka and he says, yea he did mention something like that to me. I'm just glad Alex is still with us. But I really did wanna call that red fire truck.
Moving right along to the termite work. They drag this big tube in that room and heat it up. 140 to 160 degrees for two hours. And whoop no more termites. Nothing is living in that room anymore.
They covered the dining room glass widows/doors with a heavy canvas so it wouldn't bust. To that I said thank you. lol Don't need to replace glass. Gotta love that it's red.
While I was stuck at home all day I decided to bake. What else is a girl to do?? I couldn't sew because that stuff is all boxed up. Not to mention I had tons of margarine/butter and white/butterscotch/and chocolate chips to use up. So let's bake some cookies. The worker guys were smelling them. They kept asking.......are you baking??? I wanted to say , yes get back to work and then I'll give you some cookies. lol
How about some white chocolate chippers with pecans......
Perhaps some white chocolate/butterscotch/ and cranberries????
A little view out my kitchen window. Gotta remember to take that bird feeder out of the tree.
yummy, can you smell them???
Here's the worker guys little plates of cookie heaven. They were all so happy.
Of course I had to package up some for my sistas.
I've got some random stuff I thought I'd show too.
Remember my flag cutting table that hunka and I made?? It had to be dismantled for the move so I took a few pics to show you. I love my table. Me and the sistas have sure used this while making alot of projects.
This quilt is off to my high school friend that has breast cancer. I hope it cheers her up a little bit and comforts her. I love this quilt and hopes she does too.
I followed this guy down the road the other day. I'm feeling his pain. Wonder how many loads he's moved so far??
