Bless This House

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day . . .
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out . . .

(Helen Taylor and May Morgan, 1927)

The ranch hand reported during October 2008 that we had inked a construction loan and broke ground on the new bunkhouse.

A blog or two has dribbled down the creek concerning everything from the trials of preparing the old house to sell, to the onus of packing and moving. A bit of whiny grieving was thrown in to abate the scathing of my soul while living with the mom-law between the sale of the old house and finish of the new.

Well, whoopteedamdoo!! Wednesday we do the "final" walk thru with the builder. Don't know if it will turn out to be the "final" or not, but we are so close to moving in that we can smell it.

The road for this journey has been interesting, at times stressful, but always with the promise of the coming reward.

Bless this house, O Lord we pray.
