Things are going great. We are almost moved in and doing lots of work on the house (and feeling sorry we don’t have time to blog more about it).

Complicating things this weekend are the facts that we signed up to run the farm stand this week while the farmers were away at a family wedding  (and I baked 10 loaves of bread, all of which was sold)  and that there is a major fire in our canyon and because we do the Portal Rescue web site, we’ve had some additional time-sensitive work to do related to that. Both of these bits of work seem gratifying and important though. (The fire is in our own Horseshoe Canyon and the apparently one of the biggest in the state in a long time — 450 firefighters from all over involved — but we are in no immediate danger. The big concern is that the fire has been moving toward the town of Portal — which is away from us but where the most people are.)

Anyway, we’ve been finishing the tile (stay tuned for pics soon), finishing the kitchen cabinets, and moving lots and lots of stuff.  We’re sleeping in the new house all the time now, but still showering in the old house for now. :)

We love the new house so much. It is quiet at night, and we’ve both been sleeping great. The airflow in the house is amazing. And there has been about a 20 degree differential between daytime temperatures inside and outside. Given that it has been over 100 this week and we have no air conditioning, that is wonderful.
