Reclaiming the homestead

Day 47...

OK, so it is happening....



^ The last time we saw this package was in Whisper Valley - in a much smaller truck. I mean lorry. I mean truck.



^ I cut the back lawn, by the way. Still yucky.



^ Cabinets are looking good. Tara is pretty happy with the new look.



^ Here are the handles that she likes so much.



^ Aidan was a big help.



^ But these guys, Bryan an d Junior, were the biggest help.



^ Aidan and Jonah helping with the TV Room. We really need to think of a new name for that room....



^ We got some Asian food (Chinese) for lunch. Jonah ate it with Balinese chop sticks. He probably was the only kid in Montibello to use those today.



^ Our table - cracked joint! Distraught. Will tell you what happens....



^ All of the stuff packed in India looked like this....



^ This is what was in the voluminous packing. Small stuff.



^ The living room is getting some nicer attributes, although not arranged.



^ My bookshelf, receiving new life.

It has been notable that this blog has focused on the recreation of our physical environment since returning to Charlotte. My mind is running with many ideas, will find time to capture them....
