Coyotes, Couches and an Opossum

For Thanksgiving we visited the Brewer family who hospitably invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving with them. We had a fantastic time! In fact I was having such a great time I didn’t take very many photos for more photos from Thanksgiving go to the Brewer Farm Blog.

Snapshot 1 (11-27-2010 12-10 PM)

We saw some coyotes during breakfast and Benjamin took a shot at three of them.

He hit one of them because he saw it jump when he fired, but when we looked for the coyote we couldn’t find him.

It was a three and a half hour drive to our house the Brewer’s place.  It’s been 3 months since I have driven but I drove 80 miles of the way. The highway was so straight and flat it was very easy.  When we got home we saw that the supplies for the floor had already been delivered. Everything is ready for the installers arrival on Monday: tile, mortar, grout and sealant.

We have our work cut out for us this weekend. We have to get the living room, kitchen, hallway bathroom, laundry room/pantry and hallway completely empty. We also have to replace the sub floor in the bathroom.

We borrowed an appliance dolly which made it pretty easy to move the appliances

Moving the refrigerator was quite a task that required all 5 of us.

It wouldn’t fit through the front door without taking it off. It was a pretty tight fit and we had to be careful so that we didn’t scrape paint off of the refrigerator.

So after moving the stove, washer, dryer and the refrigerator all that we had left was the sleeper sofa.  Moving the couch was a breeze. Tomorrow we’ll have to move everything else that didn’t get moved last night which is mainly comprised of a lot of little things that we haven’t used in a long time and don’t know what to do with Smile!  Some friends will be coming over to help us move the piano and the bookcases to our bedrooms.

Tonight Noah found an opossum in the barn and Benjamin shot it:

We’ve got a full day ahead of us tomorrow!
