Winter Wood

Thanksgiving Day Christian came with his truck to Leif's and helped pull down an enormous dead tree stuck from falling, against a live one. Although the truck reared up a bit, the tree slid down into the driveway. It was cut and Leif hand split the logs before our turkey was stuffed.

 This year we have an additional resource for collecting wood to split; Leif's property. Recently Bill & Christian took down two large dead trees on his farm before splitting many additional logs collected at Leif's this past year. Eight hours of splitting and both places have this winter's wood.

A bumper year at the farm.

I ran two woodstoves this Thanksgiving with all the family here busy with wood chipping, ceramics and visiting.

Bedroom Vs. Guestroom

Now that my extra bedrooms have become guestrooms, I am making them better suit our family.  So, the office is now a nursery again (includes a twin bed) while the big bedroom will get a few new items for Alex & Nina visiting with their baby. Having a single dresser and large desk here and in the front bedroom as well, will provide 2 remote work/sleep places. Happy Thanksgiving!

Leif's guestroom is also ready for company with the main bathroom finished.

The bathroom doors painted white & new hinges, a new metal Speakman shower head & and pop-tub drain finished work here. We have paid to snake, clear & camera view the main exit plumbing pipes!

Grandbaby Gear

Norway's "Tripp Trapp" highchair is unbeatable; solid wood and design with a seat & footrest that swap out to serve you through life. I use mine as my desk chair and have a new white one for Alex. 

"A Chair For Life."

We also purchased a Delta Children 4-in-1 White Baby Crib & dual sided mattress from Amazon with white knit sheets. Ready for Thanksgiving!

My initial gift was a "Bjorn Bouncer" for the first 6 mos. & liberating.

Alex has the same crib at home.

Christening A New Car

Bill has bought a new Tesla Y to drive and we christened it with a trip to Old Farm. It is a green way to go with half the cost and twice the comfort (bonus is a glass roof, rebates/no NJ tax & recharger at Old Farm). We painted, mulched and weeded. Most in our family can work remote now, making Old Farm a worthwhile trip to visit family. 

"The entry-level Model Y is now $20,500, or 30 percent, cheaper."
