Finishing Touches

We finished a couple more projects in our camper this weekend in preparation for our big trip.  Here Matthew is constructing the face of the cabinet in the "nose" of the goose.

 

The finished cabinet complete with sliding doors and two shelves.  We plan to store all of our clothing in this area.

 

We also installed horseshoe drawer pulls on all of the cabinets.





















 

 

And added a mirror on one of the cabinet doors.

 In the horse area, we added a "stud wall" to hold the hay away from Mow, insulated the ceiling, and I thoroughly cleaned all of the mats.

 

After all our work was done and the trailer was packed, we headed out for a fun night of swing dancing at the Mighty Eighth Airforce Museum!

Dancing, Dancing, Dancing!

We've had a some exciting nights of dancing over the last few weeks.  First, we attended a ball with the Penguin Club at a local hotel.

 

A fun photo of us on the floor with Jamie and Edward.

 

Last week we received a last minute invite to dance as movie extras for a film that is currently shooting in Savannah.  The movie was set in the 1930s so we had to visit wardrobe, hair, and makeup before the filming.  This was Matthew's first time on a set and my third.  We had a lot of fun but were a little tired after staying up until 4 in the morning.  As long as they keep the shot we were in, we should feature prominently in the dancing scene!

 

And, lastly, we went to a birthday party on Tybee Island on Saturday and went for a walk on the beach.  We met one of our dancing friends on the beach who happened to be dancing, so we joined in!  Dancing on the sand was actually a lot easier than either one of us would have thought too.

Garden and Horses

The garden is off to a great start so far this year!  We have been eating lettuce, spinach, snap peas, and asparagus for a while now and the broccoli and potatoes are just coming in.  The tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, raspberries, onions, okra, corn, and herbs are growing fast and, hopefully, won't be ready before we return from our trip.

 

We only installed one new raised bed this year, but it is already full of plants.  I also added some mulching around my kiwi plants and new grape vine.

 

There are more than just veggies growing in my garden too.  Here are the five baby blue birds residing in a box on one of my trellises.

 

 

A week ago I took Mow to his second dressage horse show.  He started out a little nervous but we ended up having a great ride.  Here he is sporting his new bridle that I picked up at a tack sale a few weeks ago.

 

And, I've been working on my Horse Selfies! ;)
