Recently.............

Well, the shed is gone........Finally........And Russ, our construction dude, who is very good, has begun on the outside wall and replacement of joists and siding on that side of the house. Although, I just had 21 days off, I did not get in any riding I had hoped for, storming or hot or busy.........Oh well, at least I have weekdays to work on that. Hopefully, at least one ride in before summer ends........Ugh! I set that small goal because we have been so busy. We'll have a second attempt at a pork roast dinner tonight as last night's exploded in the oven, Pyrex roasting pan exploded, roast was full of glass shards and Steve and I had to completely clear out the oven of bazillions of glass shards. So we'll try again tonight. I spent the last two days of my vacation time driving around to second hand stores, looking for cheap apartment furniture for Zoe and Brandon for their last apartment back at college. So far she found two very nice "90's" decor armchairs and two kind of cool chrome kitchen chairs. She still needs a very small kitchen table and they'll have to make a trip to IKEA for some cooking supplies. She'll be heading down towards Missouri this week to sort out their storage before they move in. And tomorrow I'm back to work, back to the normal routine. I could have gotten used to full time retirement. I will have more vacation in September when we plan on going to England. Flight tickets are in hand, and my bags are packed, pitiful, I know. Now we just need to sort out hotels. We're really looking forward to it.
