Another good day

I did some baking for Holiday gifts.

Chocolate cheese cakes, Red Velvet cookies and Fudge.

We sat by the water and read. It was 78 Degrees, tomorrow is suppose to be 80!!

This was our morning walk.  You can hardly see Sam in his bag on Bill's shoulder. Next time I'll take the shot away from the sun.  Sorry

I just love all the dogs.  It makes it fun.

Week three

Week Three

As you can see, they are working on the house.

The wall to the left will be taken out and be the kitchen


This "room" was the dining room but it will now be a big round staircase.

We went to Atlanta on Monday to get some more things from the house.

Mainly ski stuff and SCUBA stuff.

Tuesday night we ate ate our FAVORITE restaurant, KYMA.

Every time we go it is wonderful.

Santa in the Sand

This is what people who's children have four legs do on Sundays in December

Here are the "main" dogs we know on the beach.

Mcgraw and Colombo belong to Julie and Clay.

Mcgraw is a  medium blonde curly dog with a big name I cannot remember, Colombo is the basset hound.

Benji is the black poodle, Gaby is the red head, Buddy the golden and Bruno is the lab.

Notice Sam is to Santa's left in the grey bag

End of week two

The End of Week Two

Big holes were dug for the footers and then they poured the concrete.

A crew started inside tearing out all the carpets and I am looking forward to seeing much more inside progress next week.

They started building the new foundation walls.  We will keep the old ones but more are needed.

This is in the front.  I am not very good at visualizing how this fits into the plans, but seeing a shape is exciting.

Happy Birthday and Anniversary 

We had a quite day together and then went to one of our favorite restaurants. www.antonios.net

Then we went to the art center to see South Pacific.  The Art Center here is top notch and Broadway quality.  We really love it.

MOLD

Deep breathe

With all that has been happening, Bill and I have not done this in over a month.

We sat on the beach and read a book

I chose the dock behind the trees to break the wind.

Bill always choses the water

Fixing the nails that are coming up.
We are glad we decided to redo the house for this reason. Rot and mold.

Yesterday some people came and took every last door and stitch of cabinets to be sent over seas to Jamaica to build an orphanage. Look at the walls behind the cabinets.  It is unbelievable.

Saturday

This Morning we drove to Savannah for Synagogue

The drive takes about an hour and we really enjoy the service there.

Next week I will do the haftorah like I did for our wedding for our anniversary.

We walked over to the house this afternoon and looked at the work they have done.  I was surprised to see this.  I guess it is our front steps, or at least the footings for it.

We decided to take a walk on the beach instead of a bike ride since it is so dark and gloomy.

I know I can only take so many pictures of dolphins but I want to share with you the experience of having a pod of dolphin take a walk with you.  It is amazing every time.

Sam is not behaving any better with his new collar.  It worked for a while but now he is pushing the limits again.  He has been play "mauled" by two dogs already by his own fault. He was not hurt but he is a drama queen and doesn't seem to learn.  I think we have to go back to the leash.

Sorry for the delay

I have not been feeling all that well so I took sometime off from blogging.

Wednesday we went to Charleston to check out schools.

Bill and I are both thinking about going back.  Charleston is a bit of a drive and did not have what we wanted but the ride was nice and we want to go back to do some exploring in the future. As you can see, we never forget the dog.  Sam is with us all the time now and he makes quite a fuss if he thinks we might be going somewhere without him.

  

And you can see the progress on the house.  Lots of digging and hauling. It is nice to see people actually working everyday.  I hope it continues.
