TIMBERRRRR!!

Ahhh, it finally feels like home here: it's raining!!
But before it started raining, Lumberjack Andy went to work on our front yard. Yesterday he and Calvin chopped down two smaller trees. Today he took down two trees about 20 feet high. He hooked up a chain between the tree and his cube van. After he made the initial cuts in the tree (with his new chainsaw), I pulled the van forward until the tree fell down. Fun! Our yard looks much bigger now and we have lots of firewood for our backyard fire pit and wood burning fireplace. I'm looking forward to planting flowers and shrubs in the next few weeks.

OK, do any of you other bloggers have problems moving your photos around on your blog? I was going to put another photo on here, but I can't place it where I want it. I keep trying and trying to move it once it's posted, but it will not move. BTW, I hate the way the photos always paste at the top of the blog instead of where I leave my cursor. Any suggestions?

Tomorrow we're off to Salmon Arm for a ladies' retreat with "Da Sistahs". That would be my sisters-in-laws (Andy's 2 sisters & his brother's wife) from the coast and Joanne Greek, our "adopted" sister who lives in Salmon Arm. These are some of my closest friends, prayer pals, mentors, etc. We've planned our own little retreat at the hotel that Jo works at in Salmon Arm, complete with gifts and devotional times, as well as hot tubbing, shopping, and free movies at the theatre that Shawn Greek manages! Andy & Calvin are going along to hang out with the male Greeks. We planned this before I moved, and I can hardly wait! Check back next week for the blog about it!

When you enter anything into the blogs, it always adds the most recent to the top. With the pictures, you can either enter them in backwards ie: the last picture you want in the entry is the first one you enter, then the 2nd to last,and so on. Another thing you can do while you are still in edit mode, is click on the picture, and drag it to the location you prefer it. When you initially enter the photo, it gives you a choice of centered, right, or left. Once that is chosen, it won't change. so if you change your mind, you click on the picture, delete it, and re-enter it at the right spot. Does that help at all? I can always show you when you get here (woohoo!)

Good comment Jo! Also, while it is in html, you can cut and paste the code for the picture and paste it where you want vertically.
I love hearing about your life. Thanks for sharing.

Hey friends!! I thought Andy was going to keep that tree. The yard will look pretty once you have some flowers and stuff. Hope it gets warm fast there!
