Spicer Ponds Big Sandy Openings

Here is a very basic report for today. After some oatmeal we were off to Pinedale early again today to meet the furniture delivery truck. Beverly took over putting shelf paper in the rest of the kitchen. She was really stiff and sore from getting down into those bottom cupboards. I have some of the cupboards that are going to be almost worthless they are such odd shapes and going back into corners where you can't get to them, small door openings etc. And Debbie finished up the hall linen and bedroom closets and bathrooms. Then they started unpacking stuff that we had hauled in there. I carried kitchen utensils and appliances to the pantry, kind of sorting stuff out. They put all the new dishes, pots etc. into the dishwasher and started getting things put away. I kept laying down and even sleeping some.

The truck came about 11 and the two young men worked hard setting all the furniture in place. Beverly and Debbie kept working on getting things organized and put away. Curtis got onto his laptop and made up an order of all the fencing materials from Home Depot, and he got a sketch of the fence made for the president of the Home Owner's Association and took that over to him - he is a neighbor up the hill. He and his committee will meet and give us their approval in a day or so. Then Curtis will take Joe's truck to pick up all the materials Monday and get started on a chain link fence about 5' high to keep the dogs in .

We ate some late lunch/early dinner at The Patio, so we were still pretty full tonight. Curtis brought Joe and I home a little earlier and Deb and Bev worked a little longer. They arranged all the furniture, ironed the bed skirts, and brought the new sheets and towels back to the ranch to wash all that up tonight. Curtis saw a bobcat at Boulder Creek bridge, and I was so disappointed I missed it. Hope he doesn't get run over. We're seeing more deer along the roads now.

When we got home Joe had some canned bean soup and crackers and seemed happy to get it... since remember I'm not getting much cooking done. Anyhow, I think tonight I'm feeling a little better. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be over the worst of the side effects. We'll pack more into the cars and go back to work some more in the morning.
