New house!

Here is our house in April! We had 8 ft of snow this year and a couple of minus 50 degree days. It really delayed our moving day. There was so much snow that we couldn't get to our house for several weeks. I hope West Fargo is more efficient next year. This was the worst winter since the mid-90's, and the city was definitely not prepared. Since then, we have done a lot on the inside of the house, but not much on the outside. We are "in line" for sod, irrigation and a fence. It might not get done until the end of summer. We did get our back porch done. It was matched to the inside floor. We still have to stain the back steps after the "green treatment" is done "curing". Yuk- ugly!! Here is our back porch with the unstained steps! Hard to imagine that it's concrete. Looks just like wood! Our lovely back yard- no sod, no grass, nothing...they haven't even buried the internet cable yet!

My "vacation"

On my "vacation", I did quite a few things, most of which were not fun. I did decorate Jasmine's bedroom. First, I purchased a pink twin bed from Wayfair. It's cute, but such a pain in the rear to put together. The directions were obviously written by a Chinese person, and none of the letters matched the diagrams. I was just winging it, and couldn't figure out one part on putting the sides together. I called a handyman- total stranger- to come over to help me:) . I told him about the Chinese directions, and he said "Welcome to my world". He finished the bed in about 15 minutes, then he put new pulls on Jasmine's drawers. He did some other things such as putting a desk together since my other one was smashed by the movers. I put up new curtains, new lamps and "twinkie lights". The bedspread and pillows have cats on them. I am just missing something for one wall. Jasmine was really happy with it!New curtains, lamps and twinkie lights!Panoramic view of Jazz's room. Not a very good photo!
