Beach Cruiser !?!?

Hello there.  Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving with friends and family.  I know that we sure did.  A big shout out to Theresa and Roy for putting together such a wonderful feast for all of us to enjoy!

We are at the 5-day count-down for our closing on Sack of Crabs.  Have I mentioned that we are really, really excited?!!?  If not, just so you know - we are really, really, really excited!! 

Last week, Frank and Ronnie went to Ricky's Custom Carts to "check out" golf carts.  If you are remotely familar with the whole caveman theory thing you know - men are hunters and woman are gathers and you probably know where I am going with this, "check out" means "hunt, conquer, purchase".   Also, if you recall in one of my earlier blogs I mentioned that if Ronnie had his way our beach golf cart would be fire engine red with a 6" lift package and chrome wheels. 

Well apparently, I don't know squat about golf carts as I failed to mention chrome diamond-plated trim, chrome steering column and of course, the most obvious, a "speed" chip to make it go faster!!  Check it out........





........guess we can "check" the golf cart off the list!

Talk to everyone soon.

The DREAM becomes Reality!!!!!!!!!!!

 Ronnie and I went down to check out the cottage and OMG!!!!!  We are about 2 1/2 weeks away from closing.  Just some touch up painting, housekeeping and minor items left to do.  We met with the movers at the storage unit and stopped by the Outer Banks furniture store to confirm our delivery late morning on Friday, December 2nd.  Closing is scheduled for 9:00 am.  What a fabulous Christmas present!!  Check out the pictures below.  It won't be long before the next pictures we share will be with the furniture (or at least boxes) in the house.

Cabinet drawer knobs and pulls for kitchen and bathrooms - beachy!!!!

Welcome to the Sack of Crabs!!!
Sack of Crabs has come to life -Pogie (builder) gave us an anemometer aka wind gauge as a house warming gift (located on the very top peak) - very, very cool!

This is the gauge inside that indicates wind speed (Anemometer)

Electrician this Week. . . . Flooring next Week

Another big WOW! week.  The trim is done, the doors are painted and the electrician has installed the cans and other lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.  The living room and dining room ceiling fans are on back order as well as the outdoor lights.  Hope to have them here by December.  Next week is the flooring and the grading of the lot.  We are not going to visit cottage this weekend, but will the weekend of the 12th.  It will be exciting to see the flooring in.  Promise to take pictures!!  I have included a few pics so you can check out the lighting and trim work.  Still on schedule to close on December 2nd.....
