And the crowing touch is

Well, the addition is moving right along. The contractor is working on sheetrocking and building the shower stall (tiling it) in the bathroom. But, I wanted to show you what now sits on top of our house in the center of the roof. Of course, it's appropriate because we live in a converted barn from the mid 1700s.

Very cool, Tommy! Glad everything is moving along! Won't be long before everyone will have to hunker down to that blasted COLD, again! :-(

@ TC[Girl] -

Relax, TC, the gal at Sears says they haven't got their supply of long-johns for this season yet, so you're safe for a while, my dear.

Ya, the cold is coming. Unfortunately along with the new addition, we had a new heating/cooling system put it and it's not quite ready for full operation yet. :-(

So, if you have any influence with the big dude in the sky (just kidding), we'd like a little more of the warm air for a bit..

Funny, Ray! (I read that comment on your blog! :-) What happens if the economy tanks and they can't afford to have a shipment sent; does that leave us w/year-round SUMMER?! Wouldn't that be lovely! (Oh wait...we have an ex-skier among us!) ;-)

No more than you do! ;-) Just send up a request for good weather...just like I used to do as a little girl, in Denmark, when a lady bug landed on me; we used to have this little saying [that we used to say] re: how the lady bug should fly up to our Lord and ask for good weather for the next day. :-) (and...somewhere along the line, there's a story re: me thinking that a lady bug was going to be eaten for dinner, that night, because part of its name is [oddly] translated to be "hen" so...when my mom told me that we were having "hen" for dinner, I broke down in utter despair over this news! :-/ )

Hope you get your heating/cooling system in working condition before it's needed, Tommy! I've already started turning my heater on. Always makes me sad when I have to start doing that. :-(

(Hey...are either of the two of you having problems w/getting notifications, from Blogger? I didn't even realize that either of you had made these comments until I came to check out the additional comments on this post! :-( I've been having the same issue w/Eo's blog, as well, so...wondering if anyone else is experiencing same.)
