I just realized that I have not had a new post for over a month. We sold our home and have the closing soon. All of you who know Keith know that he has been wanting a pole barn at our old home for years. Well, we (actually Keith's brother Gary) poured the footer for a 30 x 40 building at our new home Monday. Gary will be putting up a split stone cement block building for us. The block look like stone on the front and are a beige that matches the lightest brick in the house. Keith is excited as he will now have space for his drill press, table saw etc. I am happy as they will be out of the garage!! I will post a picture of the footer. It is to the south of the house and does not interfere with our view of the ponds from the house.
We still have a few things to move but as starting June 12 to the 30th (18 days) Keith has 14 auctions, I'm not sure when we will get it done. Chloe and Cayla have a t-ball game tonight that I am going to and they also have one Saturday and Casey has a softball game Saturday too. After the game, Kurt's family is taking me out to lunch for my birthday.
Kurt came out last night and put his deer stand in the woods. He's looking forward to hunting season already.
Keith has been so busy with the auctions lately which is good. We also had the guy with the backhoe pull out some shrubs that were past their prime and when we get some good dirt put in, I will plant the plants that Kevin & Sarah got me for my birthday and Mother's Day.
We are pretty organized in our new home except for the scrapbook room as my desk is still at the old house. As we have so much more storage space, it is easier to keep the house clean.
I am also going to post pictures of the girls at one of their games this year. If I have time will add pictures of the landscaping before the bushes were pulled and after, but as I have not planted the new plants, that will have to wait for a later post. Don't have time for the after picture on the bushes. Gotta go to the game. I'll post it when I get the plants in and do a before and after then.

Thanks for the updates. Can't wait to see the progress on the building!
Uncle Gary got called back to work so it won't go as fast as we had anticipated. Dad & Gary laid the first row of block last night.
