MUCH NEEDED VACATION

With all the 30 + inches of snow it was so nice to get away for a much needed vacation. We went to visit Grandma at her winter hot spot, it was a bit windy but that didn't stop us.  Enjoy!

 

  

  

 

THE MORNING AFTER

I love the morning after it's been snowing!

TOO MUCH SNOW FOR ME !

The middle of the week last week the news announced that snow was coming at least 30 inches. Born and raised in Seattle two inches is too much and if it was a work week people would call in saying they couldn't make it. Now that we moved to the East Coast 5-10 inches is nothing and people drive around like its spring time. While I drive 10 mph under the speed limit. Friday night we went to the store to "stock up on some food" boy oh boy food was flying off the shelf. Stores, gas stations were packed and I still didn't believe that we were going to get that much. Well here is proof the snow started Friday at 10am and hasn't stopped there must be 4 feet out there. I really hope the sun comes out and melts everything away SOON!

NEXT LEVEL

The 2nd story is up and the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire. No not really but it's built and the next step are the shingles. It rained all day yesterday on the bare wood roof, I wish they worked Sat. and put those shingles up hope the rain didn't damage anything.

Deer grazing took this on the way to see our house which is very close by.

GO JETS !!!!!!!

NAME CHANGE

I decided to change the title to my blog for a couple reasons. My family moved cross country due to my husband's job relocation. This blog helps me keep my friends and family update on our current events as we create a new life/home. We purchased a home which is being built and should be done in May, Yeah! With that the new title suits me very will since this is the beginning of
CASA DE ADDLESTONE.

THE FOUNDATION GOES DOWN

Last week they laid the foundation down on our new house. It's so exciting, we live less than a mile from the house. I do a drive by every other day I'm sure the construction works probably think I'm stalking one or all of them :)



No construction workers in sight, it was the weekend.

TIME TO CATCH UP

I was advised by a friend that I should update this here Blog. She's right!

My other half went to Vegas for a training a month ago and my preschool teacher. Yes my preschool teacher who I've kept in touch all these years drove down from Maine to stay with me. Put us together and we like to spend $$$. We went to a couple thrift stores and made a couple purchases on some nice pieces for the new house.



The one below I got for $30 and I found the same one at another blog site who saw it at a antique store for $400. Yeah for me!!!





I also got a dining table with 6 chairs for $30. My house is packed so I can't take a picture of that beauty. But trust me all cleaned up it will be gorgeous. I'm addicted to finding antiques and living on the East Coast doesn't help.
