Being the eternal optimist, I've decided to go to Raleigh on some business tomorrow and return to a beautiful, sunny Ashe County on Thursday. Dar is moving to lower ground in Raleigh (from a second story apartment to a first floor) so I'll be busy helping her move. If you haven't kept up, we're not divorced, we're separated while the grunt work gets done in the mountains. We will be back together soon! What's that old saying, "absence makes the heart grow...?"
I spend a lot of time at Lowe's looking at various materials for the cabin. I did get a call today that the shingles are in...only problem is that we need a cabin to attach them to. They'll keep them safe for us until we need them.
An encouraging note came from Myron, my Lowe's buddy...hard freeze doesn't happen until early November. We should be good to get the footers and foundation in the ground in the next 2 weeks...assuming Noah takes a vacation!
On another note, we have a fantastic library here in West Jefferson. I'm here so much they gave me a name badge. I was here working on some 'Cabin Keeper' stuff (I'll explain in a few days) and needed a logo and some type but the only thing I had was a ratty old brochure with those elements. The problem was that I didn't have them as saved images on my computer. I took a shot and asked if they had the capability to scan and low and behold, they took me to their little business center desk. Computer, leather chair, books and scanner. I felt like such an executive and five minutes later I had my images on a flash drive and inserted into my document...I love this place! Now if only I could read... &#(%@More coming,
