Time Machine August/September 2020

Time Machine August/September 2020


 We moved in to our old Homestead, The first night was surreal to say the least. There were many small projects left to complete and no list was needed, just start in and its kind of one foot in front of the other kind of thing till you get it all done. Graeme continued to help on weekends and always brought a super handy grandaughter along to help. No longer did we have the living room, den, Graeme's room and Lia's room. Instead we had the  Dance room, the Game room, the music room, and the exercise room which is still in development. The garage and outdoor spaces belong to the younger grandkids as they are learning you can play and learn outside all day long every day in Texas. Having a retired kindergarten & grades K-5 gifted and talented teacher for a Grandmother pays off big in 2020.

The Time Machine arrives with all our Worldly belongings. 
Easiest move we ever made from so far away. 
Our daughter who had a part time home assistant loaded all our stuff up in the family truckster and I used Uship.com to hire a trucking company to load up the Time Machine in Seattle and a week later arrives at our driveway in Austin.

The Time Machine and the Little Truck that can back in their Back to the Future Spots.
déjà vu

One of the best projects you can do in 105 temperature is to recoat a roof with elastomeric.

Well miss the 12th floor patio view but now have a plenty big shady backyard on the Ground floor.

The previous living room was our music room but now is a Game room. The Admiral realized a small dream of having her own ping pong table.

I named her Lucille II
She is not a Gibson ES-335 but she plays and sounds the same to me.
Unfortunately Lucille II was pretty lonely in August and September I still pledged to do at least one thing every day for the homestead. We are getting back together now.


  Creating a new New Normal here in Texas is not without the uneasy weirdness the 2020 pandemic brings, but all this Texas Space and having the family just minutes away softens the reality.
