This house is becoming home.

It's been a busy and productive 4-day for Dh and I. Here's a few things that have come together
in the past few days. Enjoy!

 My mama's etagere is up and filled. The birds are from Dh's grandfather, the white tea set is all that remains (bar a few plates and saucers) of my Granny's German china set, the blue teapot was a gift from a beloved Aunt, and the couple is from my MIL, many years ago. All treasures to us.

Lots of blogging, or attempting to. Pics are giving me a fit, and several posts haven't loaded that should be here. Still working on that.

Cooler-living is over! Got to get this beauty back to our niece, because...

Behold, Leopold! Finally, FINALLY, Sears delivered our refrigerator. The manufacturer delayed shipment last week, but now we're in business, folks! Well, except that the water line to the ice maker isn't bringing water. Huh. Might be related to the faucet in the laundry room that won't run cold water, and the faucet outside on that side that won't run at all.  Got to see about that.

There's more, but that's enough for now. Soon, there'll be a birthday celebrated here, and friends and family will gather and our home will be filled with laughter and joy. I can't wait!
