I love seeing the new and improved Hondie!! WooHoo.....
I love your house, it's perfect.
The chickens in the mud room, that's great. I have a fun story shared to me by a friend who knew a lady that has a few chickens. They are her pets and very well cared for. She has a dog door where in the door there is a pen where the chickens can come in & out to see what she is doing. I laughed and said that sounds like my goats! OH rolled his eyes and said don't get any ideas about putting the dog pen inside the dog door so they can come in and out...mmmmmm I might have to get a another pen! Chickens, goats and dogs coming in and out, could be interesting and afterall they would be contained on the tile.

I looked the chicks yesterday, getting a Polish Crested, a Rhode Island Red and a couple of Araucanas.
That is a cute picture of you two in Gatlinburg, I love the fall scene. The Dukes of Hazzard Museum, that looks fun. I met David Soul, he was sooo nice. Passing through in a old beat up van to go fishing in Utah, just a normal guy. How far are you from Nashville, we are planning a trip there sometime. OH really wants to go & I thought about this fall, with gas prices the flights are so high right now.
