I hate waiting...

"Wheat"

So, the inspector can't get to our house until Thursday. Which means that it'll be after that that the sale will close and we'll finally be able to start cleaning and painting. Which means that we won't be able to move in officially for another 2 weeks. I'm frustrated.

But, on the plus side, I've gotten Jon excited about looking at stuff to decorate the house. We're going to Menards this afternoon to look around just for fun.

So, while you are waiting for updates about the house, take a look at my newest photo. (I finished it last night.) I had no idea that there were wheat fields in Illinois. I had only ever seen corn, beans, hay and the occasional sunflower. I thought it was cool. Feel free to take a look at it on my Flickr site.

Until next time!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

"Independence Day"

Happy 4th!!! Sorry that I haven't posted much. I've been rather busy. I have been helping my family clean out my grandparents' old house. There is a ton of junk in there. My grandparents were pack rats. They kept everything and were frugal almost to a fault. Still, we have found some cool stuff in there, like old letters, photos, and what excited me the most, was my Baba's Paska recipe. (Paska is Ukrainian Easter bread...I had had a copy once apon a time...actually I have had several copies, but they all disappeared.)

So anyways, I'll probably be doing more of the same tomorrow and then will go to Lake Bloomington for fireworks. The picture above I took at last year's display at the lake. If you want to see the others they are here: July 2007 set. Enjoy your Fourth!!!
