Back On High Speed!! YEAH!
Well after 2 wks of renos around here, the 1st thing to get set-up was the computer, so last nite was fiddling with all the cables, cords, connections, power bars ... you name it! I was smart this time and each end got a label on it so when Mike sends me under the table to check THIS wire, it can be identified.
Can't tell you what a relief it is to be on high speed as most days on dial-up (country you know!) we only connected at 26 k/s, and one day it was 21 k/s.
We will be spending the rest of the weekend, with heavy muscles hired to finish moving all the items back where they belong. Some redecorating with newer smaller items, storage cupboards (one never seems to have enough!) are planned, we just haven't figured it all out yet and have to go shopping for what we want.

The blue boy and bi-black sister where you can really see the difference.
"Trixie's" belly is trimmed, she's now ready for a bath.
Soaped up well!!!
Now she's getting blow dried. The high powered blower allows you to separate the hairs well and see right down to the skin.
on the second part of our road ..
This one is of our own Captain Canada, Ian Millar ... his horse looks like he's jumping twice the height!
The line up of the winners; 1st Van Canele on Pitareusa, Ian Miller 2nd on Costa Rica Z; John Anderson was 3rd on Terrific. I missed figuring out in the end who came 4th & 5th.
As I arrived home, with the fog now long gone, the warm afternoon sun made the colours on our road even more vivid. 
how high can he jump!?
Here I am mom!
We used Sunday as a travel day, stopping in the early afternoon for some of the local french fries.
The traffic tie ups set us back a good hour, hour and a half.

As you can see we had many of our friends & family join in this special day. As much as I dislike knowing another year has gone by, it was also my birthday.
This is what a full blown septic looks like before it's covered in soil.
As we dug down in the carport a new door needed to be put in for proper access to the basement. 
Further digging down in the carport, the hydro type poles that were there as supports were all rotten, and of course, not at all good for dogs! So we had cemented in poles put in.
Here we go again ... more digging & levelling, new additions & stairs, had to be made to the front door entrance. You can see I have a lot of work to do over time to create a decent flower bed.
Finally the digging was done, the gravel was in and hopefully NO more MUD! That Sept through to early November was one of the wettest falls we've had, and it certainly seemed worse when you're trying to dig and move dirt. We're now into early November.
We moved in 'officially' November 10th, TG it didn't rain that day ..... dogs were moved in Nove 11th, in the RAIN!!! ..... and .............
The dogs certainly thought this was GRAND!
She was there last week too ... this is beginning to be a real popular sheltie place ... I hear Kim was there and so was Penny! We grabbed one of the picnic tables, (most of them still wet with dew that needed drying off) and took up residence for close to 2 hours. As the sun came over the steeple of the barn, oh, my was the sun ever nice and warming! I could have sat there all day!
Before leaving, Marylou wanted to show us Harley's frisbee out-takes! This is the 1st shot I captured as he was going out of the frame.
Much better!!!
