Amarillo for Thanksgiving and early Christmas

We left on the 9th for Amarillo.  I haven't seen my Amarillo grand kids, son and daughter in law since July so it was time for a visit.

 One thing I will say about Amarillo, it has the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

 

We are here until first of December.  We are going to celebrate two holidays at once.  That is because this lucky family is going to Disney World for Christmas!
Of course, we leave and they install our granite counter tops and sinks.  This is the picture Mike sends me.  As you can see, you can't see much because everything is covered up so they can paint.  Mike is just teasing me.
Christmas tree is up but so are the pumpkins and thanksgiving decorations.  We are ready for both holidays!

Off the subject and back in Houston, we came across this setup at the resort.  I have never seen this type of hook up on  a fifth wheel.


                                                                  Well that's different!

Progress on the house

It's starting to look like a house.  Cabinets were installed today.
 Look at those kitchen cabinets!  We don't have electricity, so it's dark but the cabinets have a grey stain on them.  I know they look brown but they are a brown/grey.
This picture is of the living room standing at the bar.  You can see the crown molding in this picture and all the dirt from the rain.  The front doors are not the ones we will have when it's finished.  These are just temporary ones.
 Another view of the kitchen.  The granite has been ordered and should be in next week.
                                                                 This is our pantry.
                                          This is the view from kitchen to back door and mud room.
                                                  Our bedroom.  I love the five panel doors.
                                                                       This is our bathroom.
                                                                This is our closet.
                                                   Guest bedroom
                                                         Guest closet
                                                    Guest bathroom.  I didn't get a picture of tub/shower. It's to the right.
Next pictures should show granite, flat work (concrete outside) and flooring.  Electricity should be hooked up by then too so that pictures wont be as dark.
All the dots or what looks like dots on the walls, are the texture that has been applied. Paint is a-coming soon.
