This is the bonus room. Look our doors arrived!!! Check out the little ones for the hidden places in the roof.

This is our bedroom.

Check out the walls, a primer coat in the color we want is on the walls. The floors are in, oak hardwoods. The floors aren't sanded and sealed yet. They are assembling the cabinets! They will put them up on the walls today. Wow!
Larry and I left our house behind and went away for the weekend. We went to Atlanta and stopped to pick out some counter tops for vanities and carpet. Then it was a 5 hour drive to Tallahassee. We stayed in this hotel, the bedspread kept me up at night! The next day we went to the BYU game. Sunday we drove back to Atlanta to attend church in our old ward. One of my favorite seminary kids was giving a talk before leaving on his mission. The whole family spoke, it was great, they are special to us. They had a little gathering that night too that we stayed for. We ate dinner with our dear friends the Morrisons and then went to Dallin's gathering and drove home late at night.
This is the house in Tallahassee where Grandpa live when he was a senior in high school.It has 5 bedrooms and a pool in the back yard. Dad has such good memories of this home and place. He went to the high school that was run by FSU. It was like a private High School. This home is now a home for Boys who need help.


This is the church that the Isaksen family helped build. They even took the grass from their big back yard and used it to sod the church. So that is Isaksen grass at the church! 45 years old! Larry had some good memories going by the church. Seminary was held up at the high school but now there is an institute building in the back or the church.

I loved the moss covered trees, they are so pretty.
Another view of the Chapel across from the FSU campus.

This is a picture of the moss that grows on the trees. It isn't good for the trees put it is beautiful. Tallahassee is a pretty town.

The Thomas and the Isaksen meet at the Olive Garden before the BYU vs. FSU game. We enjoy our friends and we love to go out to lunch so it was a great day!

We went to the tale-gate party. It was fun. They had a lot of activities going on. The local missionaries did a lot of the service. They got to attend the game too, only they had to where their casual clothes and blend in. Some of the Elders had on FSU shirts and I told them I would watch there stuff while they changed their shirts. Ha Ha They said they had to support their investigators...who is buy that one?

That is Michael Jackson with the Glen and Kim. The less famous Jackson. He is Abe's wife's dad, they came to the game with us. They are so nice. We had fun.

The brick work is done. It looks nice. They still need to make a brick step in the front. Now the roofers can finish up the little patches that needed to be done after the brick. We are deciding on a color for the rest of the sides of the house.
That little machine did a lot of work today. He leveled and smoothed out the back yard and cut the driveway out too. They packed the dirt nice and firm. We are getting ready to pour cement on the driveway.


The wood floors finally arrived today. We waited all day. They will start laying the floors tomorrow. It will look nice. The wood is going in all the rooms but the bedrooms.

That is where they dumped the wood flooring. Larry had to haul it into the house. He is very tired tonight!
