Nothing got done on the inside of the house Monday through Thursday. On Friday or Saturday, the trim carpenters finished the trim around the front and back doors the way we requested and finished up the closets. This week the painters can get started. They are now telling us it will take an additional 6-8 weeks to complete. We are pressing them to get electric and water to the shop and driveway in so we can park the Wanderer out there soon as possible. Friday, we headed to Dallas to have lunch with our friends Ann and Bill. Then headed up to McKinney to pick up some end tables and coffee table that Leslie had arrange to buy through Facebook Marketplace. Unfortunately, the seller ghosted us at the last minute and the sale fell through. On the way back to Granbury (a 2 hour drive), we stopped off in Irving to visit “The Dump” to see what furniture they had. We were surprised at how expensive the furniture was which was not what we expected from the advertising. We got back too late Friday to stop at the house. Last weekend, we had visited River’s Wind, an auction house, and Leslie saw a large (6 foot tall) candelabra that she fell in love with. So David bought for her Birthday. On Saturday we met our friends Mona and Wade for lunch and then went down to River’s Wind. While walking around the warehouse, we found a couch table and coffee table that set Leslie’s “heart on fire”. Since the other tables had fallen through, we got those for only $400. We loaded them up in the truck and drove them down to The Ranch and put them in the shop. That is when we found they had finished up the trim work in the house. On Sunday we went to Cristina’s American Table on the square in Granbury for Leslie’s Birthday dinner. It was excellent!
