Thee evening we arrived in our new home, both Verna and I were taking a lot of photos of what we were seeing. I took three images panning across Verna’s new kitchen and made this composite image. Click on the thumbnail above to see full-sized.
Arizona
New Home Status Slideshow
I threw this slideshow together to show to our family before heading back to Wickenburg next week. I’m posting it here as well as on our other website for posterity.
You will recognize some of the pictures we previously posted here with a few extras thrown in like a nearby landmark railroad station, our tankless water heater and some desert critters. You can pause the slideshow by rolling your mouse cursor over the images and resume by rolling the cursor out of the images.
The (Almost) Finished Product
This is the nearly complete house. Verna took this photo of the house just before we headed to California on Tuesday. Visualize a little landscaping and us standing on the porch for a more complete picture. Click on the image to enlarge.
Coming and Going
We’re back in California today. We had a good, productive visit so that offsets the weather we got while commuting between the homes. We had a rainy drive going and coming.

First Light Southwestern Sconces
We are just about ready for the final inspection on our new Arizona home. The contractor poured the concrete for the driveway today and we had the first bed delivered to one of the little bedrooms today. Things are moving right along.
The outdoor sconces are all installed and they are so beautiful! I took a picture of one of them with the light turned on and Bob doctored the photo to simulate twilight. This is how they should look when the sun goes down. Click on the image to enlarge.
First Furniture
We were waiting for Southwest Gas to arrive and install the meter and turn on the gas and got tired of standing, so we drove to a local discount store and bought a couple of folding camp chairs. After setting the chairs up on the patio, we posed for this family portrait. Click on the image to enlarge.
