IMG_5560One of the great things about staying at Judge's house, it the fact it feels like you are on vacation. Just sitting on the big front porch watching the children fish and run, seeing the beautiful lake and trees is just so refreshing. I really cherished these peaceful moments as I feel like we have been non-stop for the past month or so.

Below is our first snake, who was alive by the back door, before Sam killed it to bring it to us.

A harmless grass snake variety. (Or so I was told).

We had two days of painting help from the church. It was GREAT! We got so much done. The master bedroom, the study, the hallway, the TV den, the foyer and the dining room are complete.

Here are Fred and Susan showing the girls how to paint the study. Bye Bye PINK!

There were several people I didn't get pictures of that also helped out.

Tomorrow, they deliver our stuff, in crates, from the storage house in Hattiesburg.

We drove over 3 hours tonight, round trip to Louisville and back, so we could go vote. Great friends joined us for dinner so it was worth the trip.

They can't hook up our phone or Internet until Monday, unless they get a cancellation. I am praying for a cancellation!!!!

Not looking forward to unpacking, I just can't decide what goes where! We have company coming next weekend, so I guess a weekend with no phone, Internet or TV will actually be a good thing as it will allow for no excuses to stop working.
