Couple Things

This is the picture I promised of Zoey's leg. She is doing good. Walking well. In two weeks or so we will start short walks outside.

As for MJ and I we are very excited as today starts the first day for us as business owners. We sign today for the vineyard and begin work to prepare for planting next week with the water well install. So this is scary and exciting, but we have done a lot of planning and things look great from here.

Funny story that not everyone will know, but you will understand if you know me. About two weeks ago MJ and I bought a Sequoia, signed and drove it home. An awesome car, fully loaded with all the toys and I just loved it and so did MJ. We could travel with room and style. By the next day I was feeling the guilt and we called to return it. The dealer ended up taking it back, and that may be the best thing that has happened to me in the last 6 months. I have a sickness with cars, and maybe I am finally over this because MJ and I are now investing rather than spending. It feels great.

I guess I will also include a few pictures of the Tell house. Cabinets are being started, bathrooms are framed and drywalled, and texturing continues. I start tile work this weekend. Here are a few pics. Maybe we will move in in May or June.

The bathroom did look like this

And now it looks like this..



Have a great week.

Dog Surgery

Well I just thought I would share that Zoey, our Yellow Lab, had ACL surgery on Sunday morning. She is doing great, already walking, and very happy. She looks kind of funny with all the hair on her right hind limb shaved off, but that has not broken her spirit. Another interesting note is that after 6 months of exercise and smaller dinner portions, not only did she tear her ACL but she has lost 25 pounds, from 107 in July to 82 yesterday. She is still big, but now you can actually see her hips. Sienna, Zoey's sister was lost without her best buddy, and was so excited to see her when we got home yesterday. That was kind of cool. Anyway I will try and post a picture of her soon. MJ and I wanted to thank Critter Care in Childress for the fine care of our little girl, especially, Connie and Mary, you girls rock.
