It has been a while since anyone has posted. Mostly because everyone is scattered and kind of waiting till September.
As most of you know I am back in Tn. and have retrieved my family from Maine. The trip back here from Colorado was uneventful, I drove straight through in 20 hours. After which I spent 3 lazy days working on various chores on the property, mostly cleanup from the rain storms. I then proceeded by greyhound to Maine where I would meet my family. This leg of my journey took 33 hours, with many stops in various places. I spent the next few days visiting with my family and in laws. We went to the beach, sat in the swing on the porch and had a great time doing nothing at all. Our trip back by car was fairly quick compared to the bus. We drove straight through in 21 hours. We have been in Tn. for 3 weeks now and have been busy as bees in winter. I have finished digging out Lance's root cellar and am currently building the stone walls and foundations for it. It is a hole 6'9 x 7'3. It has a drain that will meet up with the main foundation drain and sits just off the amazing wall you all have seen in the pictures, on the north western wall. I currently have 2 of the walls built and will be starting the eastern wall tomorrow. I hope to have this portion of the foundation finished by the end of the month as this is the next important step to actually building a house. I will have pictures to post as soon as possible.

Hi there folks- Have thought alot about you, since the weather has been so pleasant. Must make foundation work a happier time! John has been helping at Harolds farm- picking up round bails with tractor and putting them in the barn. If there is anything i can do to help--I sure would love to! Judy P.
