Fishing Trip round 2

 Today dad and I went down to Grayson lake.  Grayson was smooth and not so flooded

The girls were so happy when I got home.  They didn't appreciate me having 2 fishing trips in one week.  But they enjoyed their romping around in the fenced yard afterwards

Fishing Trip!

 

Dad and I took the boat out for a good shake down run and a little fishing.  Neither of us were expecting Cave Run to be THAT flooded still.  Dad was still able to get it launched over at Scott's Creek and we got it out in the water.  It was rather rough and just getting worse.  We lasted only hour and a half-ish

Pics below you can see how high the water levels had been.

Some picture updates

 So I moved in last Friday night, Jess and Allen were over here before I was.  Dad got gravel delivered the other day and Harry came down and spread it. He's going to come back down in a few days to smooth it out some more. Today since Jess and I were both off we hit the kitchen and living room pretty hard to start getting stuff cleaned up and set up into places.  

So yes Allen, we have so much more counter space.  We still have a long ways to go but it's so much better than it was.  The one picture you can see the small display cabinet that has the Stablemate Breyer unicorns that I kept.  Top shelf of the book shelves is Mom, Grandma Kauffman, Fred, the Bunny from Gene Warner, and my little guardian Angel from Connie Richardson. 

Autumn has settled in really well, she's learned the bed is a nice place to sleep, so she does sleep with me, Willow isn't as big a fan though.  Hopefully eventually she will figure it out but Autumn is a pretty good bed hog on her own. 

Dad got our mailbox put in a couple days ago as well, it's way down by Benny's so I have to remember to either pull into Benny's driveway or walk all the way down to it.  Honestly it's so much safer down there, we are on that curve so someone would have taken it out if we had tried to put it closer.  

Still need the numbers for the front though.  Something to help the Mail lady.

And lastly Dad's patch on the tub.  It feels super solid in there.  Water pressure is fantastic and thank to Uncle Jim and his BIL Bill too, we have lovely hot water.  

Getting Closer!

 

Not a dog show post!  No more shows until March for me and the girls.  

Anyway, the power is on now, and hopefully by New Years we'll be in.  Hopefully Benny will be over this coming week to hook up the septic, then really we just need internet(which Jess is supposed to call and get moving on Monday) and then gravel on the driveway. 

But I have been working on my bedroom more and more.  Tomorrow afternoon we are going to do soem heavy work on the kitchen/dining/Living rooms to make them more than ready to go.

Plus my desk is moved over, tomorrow Jess is going to hook back up my computer.  Dad has to re-glue the middle drawer track back together, I'll just put that stuff into the box while he works on that drawer.

Our chest freezer has gotten moved over, it's plugged in, running and has our stuff in it!

Got most of my carousel ornaments up on the wall, they are kind of behind my bedroom door and I have plenty more to still go up, including the unicorn ones too.

The girls were chilling out while I worked on my plastic ponies

And Got the TV up and going on the Calvary external harddrive.  Had a movie playing while I worked.  Helped settle the girls and gave me a time frame to work with.

Snow Day

 Promise to not bury this with the dog show from yesterday.  But Last night into this morning was the first snowfall of the season.  While it is pretty, I am not a fan of the cold weather that comes with it. 

Now as for the show yesterday, it was a first time in that particular facility and let's just say it was gorgeous.  Lovely facility.  I know I did not do enough training coming into it but we qualified and even got 4th place out of 7 dogs that qualified.  Very pleased.  Queen City dog training club has a fantastic facility.  I do have to say I love Russel Hornfisher as a judge- he can get some humor going.  Autumn and I were first in the ring and I had calmed and settled myself as we went into the ring.  Autumn lost 3 points in her heeling exercise from jumping up.  In her figure 8 exercise lost 1 point from jumping and 1 point for bumping into my leg.  Last point lost was a crooked sit on her recall.  Was very happy.
