Need I say more?

We are due on HALLOWEEN!!!

I'm Dreaming of a White Easter~ Just the kind of weather we have in Wisconsin :(

We are getting slammed by another winter storm.  I just wish spring would arrive already.  I guess I need to start singing, "I'm dreaming of a white Easter, just like no other easter I can remember."  It is a bummer to see this kind of snow in April.  This is our 3rd or 4th winter storm in April.  I wonder what May has up her sleeve for us.  Hoping Spring will come sometime soon, would love to start walking my 5 miles again outside and not on the treadmill.  Dang the treadmill is getting boring already.  Come on Spring, its time already.  Happy Spring everybody.  Hoping your spring is going better than here in Wisconsin.

House Progress 1

So Dale and I have started on the house, and working slowly at staining everything that we need to get done.
We picked out our tile, carpet, fireplace, cabinets, wood flooring and Medallion for the wood floor.  It is amazing at what we have done in these last few weeks.  We both are very happy!

The wooden Medallion for the Foyer

Our wheat wall lamps in the hallway

I am sorry bad picture but this is the chimney~ will be updated next week and heating and cooling will put in the rest of the fireplace and then the week after the stone crew will come and lay the stone around the fireplace :)

Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin Swap Meet

On Sunday, Dale and I went to a swap meet and flea market in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin.  It was a great time to spend some much needed time with my husband.  We bought 4 items.  The first was a Popsicle metal sign.  Dale said it reminded him of me, for I really enjoy Popsicles.   He Said the girl on the sign has my cocky look as well.  Got to love him!  So yes we purchased it for $6.  

 Our second purchase was this wonderful Campbell's Soup sign.  I saw it and had to have it for my new garage.   I know pathetic!  But it is way fun.  Right! And at a bargain price of $2

 Our next purchase was this 1960's peach pedal car.  Yeah it was a good deal and it is super sweet.  It is a great idea for children.  It has the original paint from the 1960's.  It is a Superb item.  Dale is going to re-list this item on E bay.   We will see if we make a profit.

 Then Dale and I purchased these vintage roller skates.  I had a pair of these when I was a kid, and they were cool.  You just belt your shoes right on and off you go ~ rollerskating.  Yes, it is the finest things in life that makes me happy.  We are going to be doing  a lot of swap and flea markets this year to find old and rustic things for the house.  Wish us luck as our long adventure is starting!

Flooring

Went last night and picked out our flooring for the kitchen, and bathrooms.  Went to Lowe's saw nothing that caught my eye.   Went to Home Depot.... Loved lots, picked out every bathroom, and the kitchen tile.  Now we have to pick out carpet and hard wood flooring.  We also picked out our inside doors.  Very rustic looking, but it is a log home.   This is such an exciting time for Dale and I, we just can't stop thinking about it.. It is going to be amazing when we get done with the house.  It is going to be one heck of a dream house.  And it will be all mine..... Yay for me!!!

Great way to end the Week!

Dale and I in the next couple of weeks will be doing a lot on our house.  We may even finish it this year.  Can you believe we have been building  a 2600 square foot house for about 6 years now.  I can not believe that we are finally going to finish it.  This is so exciting for Dale and I.  We can not believe it ourselves.  We also have a lot more exciting news but will wait for another posting for that.  Hopefully before July 4th we will be finally living in our new home.  We are EXCITED!!!   We can hardly wait...   Wish us luck as our wonderful adventure begins!
