This weekend we took a break from working on the house and enjoyed the property with our friends Britta and Dirk (from Robbins, NC) and Cola and Brian. We have been so excited to spend this weekend with them on our new property camping out. Everyone brought their hand guns/shot guns and we had target practice in the field. I haven't ever experienced shooting a shot gun at skeet, and I am HOOKED!! I have told Steven at least 5 times since yesterday how much I want a shot gun now!!! We finished the evening by cooking a pot roast over the fire (for 4 hours, we didn't eat until 9:30), then enjoying a bonfire with our favorite friends. Now when I say bonfire, I want you to imagine Steven blaring Kid Rock and putting a tire on the fire...yeah, it got HOT!!!
As many of you know, Cola and Bryan are expecting so we changed our original plan of camping on the property in tents to staying in my Mom's pop up camper. Cola was not in the least bit excited to sleep outside so we thought the least we could do was let her sleep on a mattress in a camper with a ceramic heater!! It was quite hilarious in the camper with 6 adults and 2 dogs. We finished off the visit with a yummy breakfast cooked by the boys as the girls sat around the fire chatting. We always cherish every second we can spend with this group, and the weekend was a huge success! As Brian said this morning "Well, I think Camp Thunderbird was great fun!!"

As far as the house, the back porch which has water and termite damaged was torn off and the construction on our laundry room began. The HVAC crew started installing our new systems as well. The plan for this week will be to have the house pressure washed to prepare for painting and hopefully the brick masons will be there to start repairing the structure.

Layla (our child with four legs) and Timber (Brian and Cola's love) joined us this weekend as well to enjoy the property. As usual, Layla drove everyone crazy wanting to chase the ball and Timber was in his GLORY chasing skeet. My sister Rozzie has been driving me crazy to put up a picture of Layla, so this one's for you Roz...
