CatNap interrupted...

So I caught Snowy hanging out on my bed on Saturday afternoon looking suspiciously guilty... 

Guilty of what I do not know...

More houses going up...

So the developer of my subdivision has begun construction on the final 15 houses in this development.... 2 weeks ago there was just dirt across the street, now there are six houses well under way....

When finished the new homes will be similar to the model homes that are already across the street from my house...

 

My Mountain...

So I decided to share my mountain view with y'all... as seen from the window in the master bathroom water closet (a.k.a. "the poop room")...  It is the only window in the house from which I can see the Estrella Mountains which rise to over 4200 feet and are only about 4 miles south of my house...

Hallelujah!

The 8-year hangover is finally over!   If you are like me you won't be missing the last 8 years of national stupidity any time soon...   I just loved to watch the inaugural coverage on TV and see the MASSIVE crowds of Americans who made the pilgrimage to Washington, D.C. to see Obama become president....  

 

So what does the largest-ever assembled crowd of people in ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY look like????   Well it looks pretty awesome!

Colors that don't run

I decided to add some color to the outside of the house...  I settled on Red, White, and Blue...  After all, what self-respecting American History teacher does not fly a flag at home?

Snowy gets comfy...

So the other night Snowy decided to make herself comfortable... It was so adorable that I just had to get a picture:

First Peek...

So I went around the house tonight and took some photos... I have posted them into a flickr photo slideshow which you can view by clicking on THIS LINK.  To pause the slideshow click on the pause symbol in the lower left corner of the screen.  You can also slow down the slideshow by clicking on "options" in the upper right and selecting the slow speed button.  The home isn't done yet but I think I have done alright for five days work....

New Year, New Home

Happy new year everyone!  I know that it has been almost a week since I last posted, but things have been a little busy here with Snowy and I moving into our new house...  I am almost done unpacking and putting everything away and once I am I will be sure to take some photos of the house (now that I am living in it!).   Oh, and for all of you who are in the snow belt of Ohio and elsewhere, it was sunny and 72 on Tuesday, sunny and 75 on Wednesday, and sunny and 75 on New year's day... :-)  Winter here in Arizona is really tough...
