Road trip to Ausin!

I am completely embarrased that I planned two events for the same day and that day was yesterday. It seems to be happening often lately. I planned on going to a craft show and I planned on going to Austin. I realized I had not canceled the craft show plans until I was in Austin. Oh well I guess the mind works in weird ways. Sorry.

MSH had to stay home and get some work done on the storage building. We are in kind of a crunch to get it done. We have been short on funds and finially got some extra money and were able to buy the rest of the stuff. All we need now is the primer and paint. After this building is finished, works starts on the other storage building at the other house. Plus yesterday MSH woke up with a cold and was not feeling that good. But he pushed himself and got the work done that he needed to do. I just hope that he did not make himself sicker.

I left early and got to Austin in about 3.5 hours. Not bad. I was sorta sleepy on the way over so I drank lots of coffee. I am so glad I got to finally see his new house. I really like it. It's open and airy. It has an awesome back yard with two swings! He has a deck off of his bedroom on the second floor. The deck is build around a tree. So you can sit up there and you are up near the top of the tree. It's awesome. I took some picture of the downstairs and the front of the house.

We had made plans to go to the CWGS and as usual it was awesome. I got some great finds for a reasonable price. I love shopping at this sale. Some of my favorite bead people were there but I did not buy anything from them. Nothing and I mean nothing had a price on it. I got tired of waiting to ask, so I did not buy anything. This seller has two daughters who own a bead shop in Austin, so we went there. I found a few great finds, so that was well worth the stop. THEN....
we decided to stop buy the GoodWill Store and boy did we ever find a great deal. There was a couch and chair in mint condition that had just been dropped off and CDM1 was able to buy. He was almost as excited as I was for him!

Here are few pics of his house:

The happy new home owner!! I love love love the red door! Here is an interesting piece of art he owns. It's made of Army men! The second picture is as close as I could get without the picture becoming blurry. Some day I am going to learn how to take great pictures!It's a really cool to look at.

I am going to have a busy week this week. Lots of work to do at work and more medical tests. Please say a quick prayer for me that everything will turn out to be nothing at all.

We are planning a deer hunting trip! I am looking forward to the trip and the time away from work and home. Although I am only taking one day off.

We got weird news from the government agency that we have had so much trouble with this year. Since I used to work at that agency, I know for certain that one hand does not know what the other is doing. Whatever.

Well that's all for now.
