The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

What do I love this Valentine's Day? Dirt and electricity...

During the past weekend, Keith spent time with Ronnie putting up the interior top plates, as well as grading the soil around the house. As you can see in the slideshow this week, the entrance was installed for the power, and today it will be inspected. With any luck this week they will come and get power hooked-up to the house. More likely, however, we will have power in the next two weeks. That will make a huge difference for Keith since he will no longer need to take the generator on the truck each weekend. The remaining dirt piles also got fewer and smaller this weekend as Keith was completing a good portion of the final grading. It is neat for me to see how the house really has a different perspective with the backfill properly in place. Who knew I could like dirt so much? :)

The final picture in this week's slideshow is the kiddos, of course. A little collage of our Valentine's Day picture photoshoot. As I have said many times, to get one good picture of the kids, you need to take A LOT. Here is just a sampling of the ones that led up to "the one". Happy Valentine's Day!
