These days are flying! Got our first piece of panelling up!

Our first fire! 

The wall before....

And after...we love it!!

Can't believe how fast the months are going!  We've been home most of the week except for taking a quick trip to Winnemucca to "check the mail".  We took Ken's truck into the shop for a fuel leak and to have the temperature gauge replaced.  They are so busy at Dynamic Diesel that they said it would be a day or two, so we decided to just run out and get the mail.. Turned out to be a good thing as we still don't have the truck back and this is Friday.  In checking some things they found the front brakes, rotors etc.  were bad so Ken told them to go ahead and fix.  Well, because the truck is a 97 Ford it looks like there's alot of parts Ford isn't making anymore...so they finally found some parts that were needed they ordered through ebay and won't be here till at least Monday.  So today a big trip into the city (Carson City) for some shopping.  

My washer broke this week so Monday service people are coming out. At least it's still under warranty.  

Yesterday Ken was able to get our first piece of panelling up in the livingroom, can tell we are really going to love it..I'll post a picture later today..

Yesterday, January 9th we celebrated 4 years of retirement!! Best thing we ever did.  Ken got his first social security check on Wednesday! Yayy...

Today Diane is retiring from Sacramento County!! Hope she enjoys her retirement as much as we do!! Don called and said they had an offer (or two) on his Carmichael house...know he's happy about that!
