A new home

We've been busy these last couple of weeks. We've decided to have a home built in Wenatchee. It's what we call a spec/custom home. The builder already had the lot and the plan. We've modified the plan slightly - adding a seperate room for the toilet, a porch over the patio, and a sliding glass door in the bedroom (so that we can get to the hot tub from the bedroom). We also get to pick all of our colors, appliances, flooring, etc. We've just been notified that the builder has the permit and should have the foundation poured by Monday. So, it's starting to move fast.

We've also been on a couple of hikes. Yesterday, August 1st, we drove up to Salmon LaSac and beyond 13 miles and took a hike into Hyas Lake. It was really beautiful, but hot! The Friday before we hiked up Mount Catherine. It was buggy, but georgeous views of Mt. Rainier from the top.

We're here at Circle 8 Ranch near Cle Elum. Tonight, Thursday, starts another weekend of dancing. We're looking forward to some of our friends arriving today. The weather is nice and sunny - all in all a great place and time to be here.
