It's been a busy week in the South Texas Hills. Arriving late Tuesday night and enjoying a July 4th holiday with kids and friends, Thursday meant hitting high gear. We seem to be making baby steps with our hill country house. Enough furnishings are in place to function, but a couple of rooms remain unfurnished and others are sparsely set. Yard work must be tackled at once and again before we leave. Mail must be retrieved and restarted for delivery. The back of the property is changing and will soon accommodate the new garage/playhouse. Getting plans prepared and researching supply costs requires multiple efforts for each step. Meanwhile, we enjoy visiting with friends and attending gatherings whenever we are here.
This week I felt we were part of an economic stimulus team. Our purchases have continued while Son and Daughter in Law have been ordering upgrades to their home. It seems we all have a bit of a furniture itch, and of course some things must be purchased when changing houses or in our case, adding one.
Young friends, home for a break from the military, others with birthdays and holiday celebrations resulted in a marathon of shopping. Perhaps we are the answer to the slumping economy. We certainly made our contribution this week.
