Trip to 'Bama to see Duke Danger

And now a quick trip to Rotterdam in The Netherlands and Betsy's Birthday

Hanging out with Gpa.

Betsy got a new bedding set for her bed for her birthday.

Someone had to get in on the festivities. She loves cakes and candles now.

Only three Betsy? Well, she does look good whatever her age.

Guess what? My back hurts already.

Luckily, Adam pitched in putting in the invisible dog fencing.

There is allot to do with the new chainsaw we bought recently. The place has lots of undergrowth and years of storm damage.

Rotterdam, the Netherlands

Very proud of their maritime history and importance.

I didn't see too many old buildings, due mostly to the fact that the Germans leveled the place during WWII.

Rotterdam is the 2nd busiest seaport in the world. Very clean and neat too.

A quick trip to Moscow, Russia

October!

Words to come later. We are in the house. Ron even mowed the lawn on Saturday. We are happy to have Grass. We will enjoy the house someday when we are finished getting the old house ready for renters.

It's Done!!!!

The finished product looks great. We were pleased to see it today. We should be closing the middle of this week and begin the torture that is moving.

They sprayed on the seed just a week ago and big areas are already up and started.

They painted the foundation the color of the house, looks nice.

The back steps, believe it or not, would have added another week or two because of permits, plans, etc, blah, blah. We'll have to get it done later.

We have some shrubs.

...and a house number.

Ellie likes it.

I couldn't help myself. I don't want them to dry up before we even move in.
