A little music and a sense of "home"

Another weekend of work, but this one had a little different ending. We started saturday by going over to our "new neighbors" who milled our tree. Picked up all our wood and made two trips to bring it to the house and unload it. Then cut and nailed screening to the windowframes. Ran out of screen and nails.... moved on to other work. Sunday morning we had to take the truck in to a shop and leave it there... Before we left Don made a step stool for his mom so she can fill her oxygen easier. Dropped that off. Trip to home depot. Back to house.... Then, we decided to try hooking up a couple speakers in the living room to see if our wiring worked. Brought down our ipod, an amp and voila! Music. Our music. Deb had a few tears in her eyes. We hugged. Then we worked till about 5 and decided to bring down some hot chili, bread and some wine. Might be one of the best ideas we have had in a long time.... We actually enjoyed ourselves! We relaxed and enjoyed the house and didn't talk about what we had to do next. We put on some of our favorite music and it was like magic...... it started to feel like a home! Our home! We ate, we laughed, we called a few friends, we danced, we kissed, we watched a spectacular sunset...... No more to say than this.... We are excited. Lots of work to go but we are excited! These pics tell it all again.
