Boring human stuff...

Camryn here:
Well, since Mom did take pix specially for me of (waiting apprasial) the new place, guess it's only fair if I show you guys the boring human part of it...

The front yard, Mom doesn't much like split levels but, it's got everything her wanted/needed (like my barn) so she's OK with it.  She finds the placement of some of the trees unatural and odd.  So expect them to have shrubs n flowers with them come fall if I know my Mom.

 

The front porch where Mom can watch the cows.  Mom's gonna be moving lots of her flowers over since keeping up with all her flower beds will be way to much for Grampa.  Come next spring it'll be so purty.

This is Mom's kitchen, she finds it odd that the oven/fridge are side by side but, maybe in five years she'll redo it.  The counter tops are outdated, but again in five years she'll change them.  Lots to do and kitchens being so spensive to redo it'll do nicely while she does other less pricey stuff.

This is the family room with Dad checking out the fireplace.  Mom's gotta get rid of the ugly fugly deer hunting border first thing. The deer hunting theme border is in almost every room!!! This'll be the most used room for Dad!

This be the guest bath, it's roomy and needs some updating too. My stuff comes first however.

The living room, Mom says the ugly fugly window covering going bye bye.  The owner is camping as she moves things out!  With this house having more space than our current she'll be furniture shopping for this room and the dining room too. Afer she does my stuff first of course.

This be the Master bedroom, again ugly fugly border going bye bye

Mom says this is gonna be the guest bedroom, on account of the ugly fugly border n carpet will mean they don't stay long hee hee.  The other bedroom isn't as ugly so her's gonna use that for Gramma's staying for Dr. visits.

Oddly enough Mom tooked picture of Dad sitting in the family room via the laundry room.  The laundry room is huge so her's gonna make it her art work area too. She can get pretty messy working on paintings.

Ahhhhh, this last one is Mom's favorite part of the house.  She can look out her bedroom window and watch me in my dining area. 

  The plan is once the closing happens is Mom'll go strip the ugly borders, clean, & paint.  While she's doing this guys'll be running the electric n water to my barn, while other guys put in the dogs fence and mine.  As she gets rooms done, Dad'll moving stuff room by room as he gets our current house readied for Gramma.  Lotsa Mom n Dad teamwork will be in play.  Mom figures she's gonna have to take coupla weeks offa work to Get R Done.

There be more boring room pictures but, like I say they be boring so I won't make you suffer thru any more of those.

Dining area...

Camryn here:
Mom made sure to take pictures of what is going to be my most favorite part about the move.  The dining area...

 Mom stood way at the back of my dining area for this pic.  See how far away my barn is!!!  I'm hungry just looking at it all!!!

 Then her tooked a picture looking out to the end of my dining area too.  You can make out where my dining area ends and the farmers field begins.  Grass, grass, grass, AND there aren't ducks in the new pasture!  It's higher up than where we live now with much better drainage.  Down side to that is if we have another drought all that lovely green grass will turn brown much quicker.

This is closer up to the barn, Dad is gonna put me in a dutch door at the back.  That way I'll be able to look at and see my new Neigh-Bray-bors on either side when I'm in my room at night.  Oh, and my stall is gonna be much bigger than my 12 X12, it's gonna be 12 X 15.  AWESOME!

I won't have access to the barn aisle like I do now but, with my own "patio"  I can go under there when it's raining.  There are a few young trees, nothing for shade to speak of but, again I'll have my "patio"!  Dad plans to cut in a door on the top to access the loft to load my hay in.  Mom's talking bout getting artsy on it too.  Oh, the shrubs off my "patio" are gonna be moved and Mom'll put gravel where they are now to keep the mud down.  I'm so glad Mom made sure to take pix so I could better imagine my new home.
Dad's got someone all lined up to run the water n electric to my new house too.  With Dad still in college n working full time he's decided to hire someone to put in the fence posts for my new paddock n pasture. 
We be hoping to be moved come late July, maybe early August.  Getting us AND Grampa moved gonna take some doing for sure.
Kinda bummed that with having close by Neigh-Bray-bors I won't be getting a mini something of my very own.  BUT, that also means all that grass is mine and only mine!

New Neigh n Bray-bors...

Camryn here:
Today Mom, Dad n da realtor lady all met up with some inspector guy at the new place.  Something bout making sure the house was up to snuff, testing for radon, black mold n other stuffs.
I told Mom since I wouldn't get to meet my upcoming Neigh n Bray-bors, I'd like to at least see what they look like...

 These are the Bray-bors, they live right next door, our fences won't touch they be real close by.  They've also got a big fat goat buddy (he was in the run in) a bunch of chickens and three BIG dogs.  The dogs are contained by one of those invisible fence thingies which Mom don't like or trust.  Mom tried to meet the Bray-bors, they was curious n comed to the fence, but soon as Mom was at the fence they both took off running.  Guessing Mom will be tempting them with carrots.  The darker one needs his feet taken care of pretty bad.  Not elfish or anything that real horrid but, still they need taken care of, Mom be guessing he's skittish and needs teaching for his feets to be done.  Oh, they have 5 kids too, the lady said her one daughter LOVES horses and will be thrilled to have me next door...

 This Neigh-bor, along with 3 or 4 others lives an acre away.  Just bout same distance and my current Neigh-bors.  I wondering if they be geldings maybe.  Sure hope so ;)...

These guys live cross the street, they didn't like Mom being paparazzi and wandered out of camera before Mom cold get good picture.  Would they be called Moo-bors?  There are tons of them over there, Mom said something about them looking very cute yet tasty! They've also got least three spotted Bray-bors, one being a babyee.  Realtor lady said she saw more Neigh-bors there too, Mom didn't see them yet...

Iffen you biggify this one you'll see two barns.  The one in the left corner is a smallish boarding/training barn.  Mom saw a Mare with a buckskin foal by her side as she drove down the road in one of their pastures.  The big long white building right beside it is a HUGE boarding/training barn.  They gots like 40 or more  horses there.  Mom n realtor saw several galloping thru their pasture but, they was to fast n far away for Mom to get pix.  Maybe they gots handsome gelding boys there?  Mom found their website and asked if there were any nearby trails we could access without trailering.  They've got 22 acres of trails BUT only for their boarders.  Mom's gonna ask about lessons there and maybe we can use the trails if we do they be our teachers?  I'm getting kinda excited bout the move!  Almost as excited as Mom n Dad are.  I'm sure Mom'll bore you on another post with pix of the human side of the new place no hopefully more of my new barn too.

Flowers on the table...

Camryn here:
OK, so I don't really have flowers on the table unless you count that my back is similar to a table!  And I eat lunch under a Magnolia tree so sometimes the blooms lay on my table back while I nom, nom, nom.  Mom took a picture for my header.  Doesn't the blossom look so beautiful on my back!

We're pending...

Camryn here:
Finally it "appears" the humans are done with the wheeling dealing and we're now pending on the house with the pretty barn!  Mom n Dad gotta go sign some stuff tomorrow, then course da inspection & bank checking to make sure the house is worth what we're paying. 
Mom says there is soooo much to do!  The seller offered immediate occupation after closing, cept the barn not till July 4th so she could get stuff out.  Then she said "oooooh, I can't possibly be out before July 4th" our agent reminded her that "she offered the immediate occupation & that's the main reason Mom n Dad went with her higher price".   So she's gonna put her stuff in the garage so Mom can least get in and strip ulgly borders n paint.  AND so Dad can get the dog n my fencing up too.  That way soon as the seller is OUT they can move in all the way then begin readying this place for Grampa. 
Projected move for us is early July, for Grampa late July/ early Aug.   Hopefully it'll all go smooth as Cowboy Magic!
Oh, Mom told me having hooved friend of my own may have to wait since they didn't get the house at the price the wanted!  Guess the neighbor equines n my kitties will do for a while right!
