Our new home!

Please forgive me in my lack of posting! IÂ’m so frustrated with my dial up connection! IÂ’ve tried to post about my town and my house for a couple of weeks now. IÂ’ve lost everything IÂ’ve written dozens of times. IÂ’ve been unable to add photos even in my trip to the local library with their DSL I didnÂ’t have much luck uploading photos. My last post was the only luck I had with uploading pictures. So today is my attempt via Microsoft Word IÂ’m hoping to be able to cut and paste not only the post itself but also the photos I wanted to share. So here we go.

This is my new home!







the view from the road




We have moved up from a small 854 SF rancher with 3 bedrooms and one bath to this 1840 SF 4 bedroom 3 bath home. Yes you read that right 3 baths. We no longer have to wait for a bathroom. Our home is located just 15 minutes south of the town of Farmville, VA. In the heart of VA, or at least that is what the water tower states!

On an 11 acre tract of land. The drive is approximately 2/10 of a mile long. I get a work out just going to the mailbox! Bob and I drove down to Briery creek lake to snap a few pictures. The lake is only a two-minute drive from the house. IÂ’m looking forward to spring and some leisurely fishing in the johnboat. If this proves to be a way for me to post both word and picture without the hassle of uploading on dial up I will soon be posting many more photos. Today we are expecting the delivery of our shed/carport. What a wonderful birthday present for me! Well, it is my birthday today 2/6/06 IÂ’m a whopping 41 years young, it is not however my birthday present it just happens to be arriving on this day.
We celebrated my birthday on Saturday when Jackie was here and also BobÂ’s parents and Sisters and brother in-law were all here to celebrate with me. We went to a local restaurant for a fine dinner and came back home for some birthday cake and ice cream. Fortunately Bob spared me the embarrassment of 41 candles and I only had one on my cake.
Brandon and his cousin Mathew sure did love the cake and ice cream!

The cake and the company were fantastic! It sure is nice to have family and friends to help one celebrate!
Well I hope this post worked. If not I will have to be content with posts that lack pictures. Well thatÂ’s it for now!
Update: Well as you can see the pictures didn't work. I will try once more at the local library... wish me luck!

update: as you can see I was not able to upload the pictures as I had wanted to I did upload a few but I was not able to put more than one per post. I will see if I can work out the kinks in the future.


Final UPDATE: OK As you can see I was able to upload the pictures finally. I was able to use Hello and Picasa2 and with some extra work I was able to get more than one picture per post. I will have more pictures soon.
