I've been so busy. Working, working on the old house, working on the new house, working on bible class stuff, all of Em's about to get out of school activities. And the real problem is with all of this stuff to do all I can really think about is gardening. I see all of my flowers popping up here at the old homestead and I just can't wait to get to it out at the new one. But I can't yet and I really don't know that I'll be able to do much this year anyway with the outdoor stuff because there is so much indoor stuff to take care of. The fellas are just about done with the outside of the house. It is looking so good. Of course the camera is never where we need it. But next time I head out there, I know I've said this before, I'm going to try to get a picture or two. It really does look pretty. The inside is a totally different story. Not liveable yet but soon. We plan to move out there at the end of the month. Em will start summer school there June 4 so we gotta hurry. I think once we get through the rest of the tear out then we will really get to move on the put back part. We're getting there. We know that it will not be finished when we move in. It will be nowhere close but it will be liveable and then we can actually work on it more often because we'll be there already. But the basic rooms that we have to have will be ready.
Francis called me a little earlier and he has been out there at the house today. He said he wanted to tell me a story. That usually means that it's going to be interesting. So here's what he told me. "I was walking around out at the house in the yard and I stepped on something. I look down and there is a snake which has wrapped itself around my leg and I screamed like a girl and got it off of me and it slithered away." I can't stop laughing at that image. I mean because it didn't happen to me of course. It wouldn't be funny then. But it happened to Francis and so it is hilarious.
Em gets to go on Monday to her new school and meet who her teacher will be next year. She'll go in the morning and then go back to her other school for the rest of the day. She's pretty excited. Me too. Well, I'm gonna go now. I don't have anything else interesting to say. Okay, have a good day, all. |
