Thought for the Day/Week

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY/WEEK:

"In my view, the Christian religion is most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

~Noah Webster- preface to 1828 Dictionary~

MOVING DAY FINALLY ARRIVES!

That long anticipated day...Dan and Rebecca finally have their farm, have done the necessary rennovations to the house, and are ready to move in. The crews met at the mobile home out past El Dorado with trucks, vans etc.
There was last minute packing......but someone needs to give those babies attention!
YES BOTH OF THEM!
Charity went with Hannah and Sarah to pack the day before, and stayed the night so they'd be there to help in the morning.
After the crews left to unload at the new house, a group of ladies stayed behind to clean...
and clean...
How clean can one house be? (Thanks Shari, for heading up this hard-working crew!)
They left the home sparkling...
and ready for whoever needs it next.
Meanwhile, back at the farm, the men arrive and start to unload.
furniture and boxes began to fill the new house. A few of the younger girls and I cleaned up the kitchen, and made sandwiches and other goodies for the workers.
I decided to put in a few "before and after shots" of the house, since there was so much remodeling and updating that was done.
THE FRONT DOOR ENTRY BEFORE:
AND AFTER. (A new wood floor- donated and installed by mister fix-it himself, Mr. Jeff Flora)
Here we see the eat-in kitchen, painted a pale blue with a country border...the utility room is also much brighter. This is the living room BEFORE:
and AFTER:
The walls are textured and painted a green, but they still plan to glaze the paint job. The carpet was just laid the week of the move.

Although they kept the red carpet in the office for now, the walls have been primed, and are soon to be textured as well.
Once the boxes are gone, and they are more settled, I'll post a few more "before and after shots, for everyone who'd like to see.

This is a video clip of Esther seeing her new room for the first time...
Now they are in, but getting settled and unpacked is a DIFFERENT MATTER altogether.
May you make many happy memories in your new home.
