Getting set up on the "property"

The grand kids all call our place "The Property" I like that! It is nice that they all consider it partly theirs, cause it is. It was so sad to see the moving truck with Micah and Micaiah and Nicole and Cole in their car leave the Property last Monday evening. It was a hard time for all of us! But Nicole is settling in at their new residence, and I have talked to them several times. Seems it is a great move for them.
So a chapter ends and a new one begins.
So far all the other grands (except Caedmon) have spend the night, gathered eggs and ridden around in the "train" (Pappa Terry hooked the little green wagon to the lawn mower, and is using it as a little utility wagon of sorts, but mostly as a "train" The kids have worked hard. (as hard as any little under 10 year old bunch of kids can work) John and Molly and Issac came out last Monday and Tuesday and worked at helping clear out the weeds and stuff around the dog pens and horse pen. Joshua and Kristi also came out to help with that task. The kids love making a fire and cooking their lunch and supper out doors. They did some chuck roast on Tuesday, with Isaac, and we cooked some brats with Asher and Levi on Wednesday (or was that Thursday?) and on Friday we cooked pork chops out there with Noah and Isaiah. We have either 3 or 4 hens laying, and if we gather the eggs around 2 in the afternoon, we get two brown, one small white and one green egg. The little hens are laying way out in the property, and so we are not getting their eggs. Terry plans to soon build them a coop that is bigger, and we will send the big road island red (RIR) rooster and the RIR hens to Nebraska for Micaiah, so the little roosters and their hens will come back up to the front of the property and we can get them used to the new coop and laying their eggs in it.
OUR PROGRESS:
Terry took a couple more days vacation to get thing going for us. Kristi and Joshua came and helped move the big furniture out of the trailer and into the new house. We had one mishap, but we fixed it, and it should be as good as new when the Elmers dries. (Don't even ask what broke!) We now have the piano, Curio cabinet and buffet in the used to be living room converted to dining room for my needs. Once we get the stuff out of the Hillsboro storage I will actually even have my dining room table. (We got the benches out while Terry was here). The phone people set up the phone, and to my delight, I have DSL here! (and wireless so the kids can work on their laptops when they come out) It is so nice to have high speed internet once again! My DISH satilite is set ups so I can watch FOX NEWS, and I think I will actually get some radio stations here! I have to set up the radio still. My cell phone actually works from every room in the house! How cool is that? (for those of you who had trouble getting hold of me at the trailer, I have no excuse for not answering my phone now (Unless I loose it LOL)

Side note:I hear a hen cackling as I type, a new egg is getting delivered!

I will need some help from a couple of sons one day this week to get the old couches out of the trailer, and we can then say I am moved (except for the stuff we need out of our old storage unit in Hillsboro.) that will take about two trips.
CADEMON TURNED TWO OCTOBER 4.
We went down to help him ring in his third year of life! What a cute child he is! I wish I could spend more time with him! I am now going to actually try to devote some of our resources to going down there more often. Now that I am settling in and it looks like I will be able to do just that, I will have more stories about him and his parents. For his birthday, Jordan and Mark did a sky cake with a plane in the air. It was very cute. Jordan does a great job with her cakes! Go to her blog and check some of them out! Anyway most of his cousins got to go to his birthday party. Isaiah told me on the way home that his favorite part of the party was the magic show! (How cool is it to have a real live magician in the extended family? Thanks Pappa Scott!) I will be getting a digi cam soon (I hope) so I can post our progress on improvements to the property. I only have three weeks of my Connections study left, and then I will start my "What happens when Women Pray" study on my BerachahMinistires blog. Get the book off ebay, and join in the discussion!
