Simple Things

We haven't sat down in any comfortable fashion to watch a movie or check out a show since this demolition began. The only tv up was the one in Kat's room, and there are no floors or walls in there! We were so tired last night from all this work and traveling that no one wanted to do a thing. As we debated our options, my husband came up with an idea. Our couch and love seat are in the living room, why not bring Kat's tv in there? There is no satellite in that room, but we can watch a dvd...which was actually the goal. We are big Stargate fans....hence...when the new movie came out, Steve preordered it right away. It came in last week, but we haven't stopped to watch it. Last night was the night...we curled up on the couches and after months and months, stopped to watch a movie together. Simple Things

Before we made our jaunt to Florida, I cleaned up the den (still gutted), putting the computer on a table. There is no power in there so we are running extension cords through the room into the dining room. At least we can sit down at a table, in a chair, at the computer now! Simple Things

We brought a different tv into the den and sat it on a shelf...still wasn't hooked up. Steve hooked it up to the satellite last night and this morning...another first in a long time...I am watching/listening to Good Morning America. Simple Things

To live so long already without modern conveniences that make a home a home...to be able to sit and fellowship, or watch a movie as a family...somehow the hurry up pressure to get on with this project dissipated...a few simple things makes life a bit more bearable and maybe even this process a little less taxing!
