It is quite rainy here in middle Tennessee this July 4th, and is supposed to rain and storm all day.  Last night, someone was shooting off fireworks close by.  Now I can definitively say that Krystal is indeed deaf or close to being so.  Fireworks….or thunder, or any loud sounds…..always frighten Krystal.  Normally, at the first boom, she would run and hide under my clothes in the closet.  Didn’t bother her at all last night.  I guess there’s an upside to everything in life!

I went by the new  house on Tuesday to see how it was coming along.  There was a big sign on the front door saying ‘STOP!  Floors just finished.  Do not enter until 7-3-13’.  I peeked in the window and gasped at my beautifully finished hardwood floors!  Yesterday, I excitedly drove back over so I could go in and look around.  After unlocking the door, I took my shoes off as to not mess up the floor.  This is what greeted me.
