Of course the big news of the week is that
Alyssum had her baby on June 5th.  She is
a hefty 9+pounds, but mom and baby are
doing fine.  She has been named Aspen Ann
Revallo and is a cutie!

The house news is an on-going story.
The painters will be finished tomorrow.  We had
the whole of the inside of the "new" painted. It
looks really nice.

The carpets have been removed and according to
the carpet removers they were really, really
dirty..what to expect.  I assumed they had been
there since the house was built in 1961!  The
new floors are to be laid next week.

The moving contract moved from June 25 to the
27th.  It is a busy time of year.  Also they
had expected to spend two days, but only had
one day of schedule.  Robert told them to
skip the barn. Also, he is hoping he, Carl and
Robyn can move the solar panels this weekend.
In the meantime, whenever we go to the house
we take a load of fragile and/or partially
packed stuff.

My washer, just a couple of months out of
warranty has decided to quit.  It washes
pretty well, but it doesn't spin the water
out of the clothes.  I shall have the
movers move it and then buy new washer and
dryer and have the washer carted away at
that time.

The smoke from the fire just west of Ft.
Collins contiues to be think.  Memories
are renewed.  I feel for those folks and
know the stress they are feeling!  I am
glad we are moving out of the mountains.
Everything is parched.  We water, but not
enough so that the grass is brown in
many places.  My xeroscape garden is
doing fine!!  I'm delighted.
