We think that it might be fun to follow the progress of our new home, the Canvasback Handiranch. This curious title was coined by daughters, Meghan and Meredith, to poke fun at our "no-step entry and wide doorways" - features that are common to senior living. The house is located on Canvasback Circle; and, o
ur new address is:

an almost finished house front...

as you can see, there is some more siding to be added and the "real" front door is not yet installed.  The cement on the garage floor and the front porch was poured today.  The garage door will be installed soon.  


The window on the left is in the guest bedroom and the center window is in a small computer room.


Everything will be backfilled soon, then in the middle of May, they will pour the driveway and entry walk.  They can't be poured sooner because of the Wisconsin weather.  Next will be the lawn.  THEN, we can plant, plant, plant---things that grow in the sun---real flowers that we can pick and real veggies that we can eat.  After all of these years with giant trees and lots of shade, growing some of our own vegetables will be a new adventure for us. We are eager to see how green our thumbs really are!

There is certainly a flurry of activity at the worksite these last few weeks---lots of people working hard to make it all come together for us, and it is!
