New furniture.

We drove over to Glen's Furniture at Broken Bow OK. I must say that I was terribly disappointed. All I had ever heard was how great Glen's was. They had a fantastic selection. Nope!!! It is an old warehouse with a very limited selection of sofas and chairs. They did have a few barstools upstairs. We bought 3 Arrow Bow-Backed oak barstools.
We stopped at Papa Poblanos in Idabel for lunch. David had Enchilada & Taco. I had the Mini Quesadilla. Gosh! That was good!!!! I LOVE Mexican food!!!!
We decided to drive over to Texarkana to see if we could find a sofa. Ivan Smith on TX Blvd had a sofa, but we wanted to look around a bit more. Hank's Fine Furniture across from Lowe's had just what we were looking for!!! They will deliver it to the cabin Friday the 30th. It will be wrapped in plastic, so it will be protected until we're ready to start moving in.

New light over bar.

Good grief! That took a while!!! We are not electricians!!!! But I like it much better than the other lights. We had to stand on the bar to get it all connected. It's a bit too short, but we can live with it. We're going to wait til tomorrow to put up the other one.

Cabinet/Dresser/Closet

I have it painted. It's ready for Brian to put the doors on and get the drawer fronts attached. Oh! No! I haven't gotten the drawer fronts finished. That will have to wait til next week. Brian is bringing the rest of the cabinets out next week. Have I already said that??? Sorry. ;-) My memory is not so good.

After sunrise.

I've posted this on Facebook, but wanted it here, also. This morning, about 8:00, I happened to walk by our front door, and looked out to see these absolutely gorgeous clouds. Immediately, I grabbed the closest camera, which happened to be the iPhone. Amazingly, it takes some darn good pictures.
I'm not doing much down at the cabin. We're keeping our youngest granddaughter this weekend. I need to get a few things picked up around the house. Laundry to do, too. David's getting his long weekend this time. Monday we're going to Glen's furniture to look at sofas. From all I've heard about Glen's, they have a large selection. We're wanting something that can be used as another bed. Since the cabin has only one bedroom, we need a sofa sleeper of some sort.

A break from painting.

I decided I needed to do something physical this afternoon. Two or three hours pulling vines out of a chain link fence makes me sweat and turns my face red. But I feel so much better. Maybe not tomorrow, but sometime in the next week, David and I will get out there to tackle the gate. I'll take a photo from the other side. There are trees growing there.

Dark clouds.

Maybe we'll get some rain this afternoon. The wind has been blowing all day.

Gate covered with vines.

We haven't used this gate in years. But now that we are getting close to finishing the cabin we want to get this one cleaned out and the driveway ready to use. We have the driveway by the cabin, but neither of us like it that much. Besides, it's hard for delivery trucks to get in and out. I added a photo looking down it.
We've had to put up "Posted" signs because of a neighbor, and others, driving through there and up into our yard on four wheelers. I suppose they forgot how to read. Or maybe they just need glasses??? LOL!!!
