House Progress

We have ice! 2-13-08

I figured I would check in to my sad dejected blog!

This is what I found outside today:

I hope the weather where you are is better!!!

Sydney wanted me to share her new haircut!

The doggies got groomed yesterday - and she went from this:

To this:

She looks so little and innocent and almost puppyish!

Murray was groomed as well - but not shaving for him - his coat is really nice and fine - unlike Sydney's curly mess! He was feeling kind of bashful though - and wouldn't look at me.

An update from the Gastley's!

Hello all. I don't even know if anyone checks this blog anymore....but I figured I would toss up a new post!

We got some new neighbors - look what moved in across the street.

So now we have a sheep farm next to us and lots and lots of cows across the street. Needless to say, both of our dogs would love a job at either farm - and they should really start earning their keep!

Speaking of the dogs - I get comments all of the time about Murray being mean. He is one of the most loving dogs every. He loves hugs and literally will come in just for a hug from me or Russell. Well I caught these two images of the dogs - I guess if I saw that - I would think mean too. Little do people know - Sydney (the redhead) is totally food motivated - so if you have food - you can do whatever you want. Murray (the blackboy) not so food motivated - and I do think would totally protect us or Syndey if he felt he needed to.

The summer storms have started. I went out and got these shots the other night. That cloud over our house was UNREAL!

Thanks for checking in with us. We have a busy summer. We went to the beach last weekend (Bethany Beach in Delware). We are heading to Ohio to hit Cedar Point at the end of June. I am going to a photography convention in Atlantic City in July. And Russell doesn't know it yet - but we are going Busch Gardens in August. Labor Day weekend we are heading to Deep Creek Lake with some friends. Phew! Then it will be fall. In November we are going on a cruise over my birthday - it can't get here soon enough!! We hit some cool spots on that cruise - San Juan, St. Kitts, Aruba, Grenada, Bonaire, and St. Thomas. We have been to St. Thomas and San Juan before - but the other stops are new to us!!

I should have taken a few pics of the new trees in the backyard - but really there isn't much to see - we planted a pink dogwood and a red oak in the backyard - someday they will give the doggies more shade :) I also put a baby pool in the backyard for the dogs to wade in - but it hasn't been much of a hit as of yet...maybe they will catch on!

Thanks for checking in -

5-10-06 - We have trees!

We planted 11 trees along our driveway....
They are called Thundercloud Plums or something like that.

Taken from the porch looking towards the road

A close up of the trees; It is only purple - the green you see at the top is the tree int he neighbors yard across the street.

A dark pic from across the road:

Another view from across the road:

I think i took this one from the edge of our yard?:

The dogs: Murray and Sydney making sure we plant the trees correctly!

Thank you Lorne and Arbor Landscaping for getting us a killer deal on these trees!!!

We had loads of wind today, and this picture shows our shingles FLAPPING in the wind getting ready to blow off the house. Well we didnt' lose anymore shingles, though the ones that came off before are still off. We really need it to get warm so the tar paper will melt and latch onto those shingles!!

This picture is taken from the front of the house lookign towards the back, showing the living and dining room.

From the side showing the living room.

This is the front bedroom, we originally were going to make this the spare bedroom, but think it will now become the office, since I will have clients coming to the house.
