One week down

November 30, a Monday, was Day 1 of the Great Strawberry Patch Electric Make-Over.  Big Puppy, Garbage Gut, 3 cats, a Hubby, and a Strawberry moved over to the church office for the day.  I decided immediately that the 3 cats would continue living at the church office because quite frankly I didn't want to get mauled each morning trying to crate them!  Cats do not like being shoved into a box.  Imagine!

At the office the dogs barked constantly; I fell asleep on Rev. Hubby's office couch (I tend to do that when I'm sick) and workaholic Hubby worked....all day and pretty much into the night.  For three days we continued this routine until the electrician said "Stop!"  Seems he needed to turn off the electricity so he could get some work done.  Imagine!  

An email was sent to the church officers and it was suggested we move into a motel.  A wonderful church lady offered her empty home (she's on vacation up north) and Boy came home from college!  Life is hectic and I don't think I would want it any other way.

I am so thankful to have a roof over all our heads.  I am especially thankful that I won't be getting electrocuted for Christmas.  We have transformed the lovely Garden Room into my craft room and Boy's computer lab.

Okay, so Garbage Gut claims part of it too!

My Happy Place is paper crafting

Not much has changed at the Strawberry Patch except for massive amounts of holes in the walls and the ceilings.

We have new lighting in some rooms and new ceiling fans in others.

The 1950's dark paneling is gone and the bookshelves are getting a paint job.

Good-bye 1950's
