Another week

We are now 3 weeks post fire. We have spent one week in our little house and have been quite comfortable. We are getting some stuff together, either borrowing or buying, or getting it gifted and so we can make simple meals here too. We ordered our washer and dryer the other day, but in the meantime, I have had to go to Amber's for laundry. Actually it was a good trade. She took my laundry into the basement and did it while she worked on business stuff, and I played with the girls upstairs and kept them out of her hair. We went shopping one afternoon, and those are always hard days. It is tough to think of and purchase all the things you need and once had. It is hard to have to choose again and try and find just the right things. We spent one evening with Rob and Diane and enjoyed supper and talked windows. We got our stamped plans this week, and so house planning is still going ahead. The main floor plan and roof details preliminary things are in place, but now comes decisions about windows, cabinets, doors, lights, colors, etc, etc. It is exciting to think of having a new house, but sure is scary to think of all the details and planning it will take to make it all come together. I have never thought of myself as an interior decorator. Seeding has been on hold for this week, as it is still pretty early in the year for the canola and the soybeans. The wheat and oats are already starting to come up in places but it sure would be nice to get a bit of rain. I put the potatoes and peas in the garden and noticed some asparagus shoots coming up as well as the rhubarb showing itself. Will be good to have some fresh rhubarb crisp soon. Amber putting a coat of paint on our laundromat. The electricity was hooked up this week, and the hot water tank put in place .

She is almost finished the undercoat and then it will get a coat of a light creamy color. We uesalso got our phone hooked up again this week. Till now the only way to get us was on Kerry's cell. Guess now my peace and quiet will be over.

This afternoon I had Nolan here for awhile and he was very content to play with my broom. It gave me time to wash the floor, which really needed it already. And so we are again at the end of the week. Much has happened again, although most of it is not very visible. Soon though, there should be visible signs of progress on our house. Stay tuned. Oh, and leave a comment sometime.
