An Untraditional Thanksgiving

How did you spend your Thanksgiving Day? Ours was rather untraditional…

No turkey roasting in the oven, no pies cooling in the kitchen; just some really great weather and plenty of cardboard boxes. That’s right, we spent most of the day loading up the U-Haul and moving into our temporary new digs. We did manage to stop long enough to sneak over to the casino buffet for some turkey & dressing. It wasn’t exactly a scene out of a Norman Rockwell painting, but then again, there weren’t any dishes to wash, either.

We’ve been in our temporary house for about two weeks and it’s interesting to say the least. Some of our bedroom furniture doesn’t fit down the hall so it’s now part of the living room collection and two of the knobs on my cook top have “low” and “high” labeled wrong; not all of them, mind you, just the two on the left. Even with all the quirks, Minnie & Bo are glad to be settled for a while and they are even more thrilled that all of that riding around in the car while the house was being shown has come to an end.

Today, Shane surprised me by setting up this blog (which I hadn’t even asked for). Now I have a place to post the numerous pictures we’ll take so our friends and family can peek in on the house construction from near and far. I’m sure it will be just as thrilling to you guys as it is to us…
