It is Very, Very Quiet!

It is very, very quiet in our office and my desk has been dismantled. I took an unintended blogging break while we redid our office with new carpet and desks. Mr. H and I could not take the clicking, clicking, clicking of the dog nails on the parquet floor any longer! He works full time in this home office and it was not making for a very professional atmosphere while on conference calls. It was also wearing on our nerves. We packed up everything in the office, and then placed it all over the house until the commercial carpet was installed--furniture, boxes, and zillions of books. My desk gets delivered today and I will do a full reveal next week when things are in place.

Here is what has been going on while we were busy working. The house was a mine field of fun for the cats. The kitties saw all of it as their personal jungle gym. They have played and played, and then played some more.

Finnegan wants to know how Chelsea got in that box. The poor dear kept scratching on the outside trying to get her.

They love playing under Mr. H's new desk. Our old desks were not accessible this way.

Here's a sneak peak of Mr. H's side and his new desk. Notice the Scotties are already back on their daily patrol. Construction did not deter them one bit. They were relieved I was leaving the bench for them so they could stay employed too.

Sawyer says come back next week to see the rest. No more clicking of 12 paws!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!

A big thank you to Tina of Cherry Hill Cottage for choosing Lallee's Cottage in her top ten of cottage style blogs on blog.com. What a wonderful surprise!!! I love visiting her blog and seeing her wonderful decorating.....and then there are her wonderful recipes. I've made her Heavenly Cake three times recently. I now sport heavenly wide hips to prove it. Unbeknown to Tina, I invited friends over this evening to try her Chocolate Cobbler. My friends said, "Chocolate what?" They're British. I said I was sure we would need some vanilla ice cream to cut the chocolate ;-) Thank you, Tina. I will be saluting you tonight!
