A Decent Place

We spent yet another day at the rental house in my hometown…the one I’ve been telling about in previous posts. We didn’t spend a lot of time there. Maybe we were there four or so hours today. We were both tired today and I hurt from yesterday’s work.
We did get some sheetrock (excuse me, DRY WALL…Sheetrock® is a brand name) mudded and got some wet sanding done. We also prepared to do more dry walling tomorrow and maybe some more mudding and taping.
It’s getting a little more dry down there, as it hasn’t rained any great amount for almost a week. The humidity is even going down some. Now, maybe we can get back to some semblance of normal, whatever that is, with the weather.
We’re getting our girls back on Thursday afternoon. We’ll go down there tomorrow and work, but stay here Thursday to prepare to get them back. On Monday, three of the girls will be going to camp, so that will leave us with just three for about a week. Then following that, we need to begin thinking about school. We need to do some shopping, get school supplies, etc.
We’re going to see our sons and their families this evening at Emporia. They’re meeting us there. It’ll be just for a couple of hours or so, then back to Wichita. These weeks off never seem to have enough days in them. We always have more to do at the end of them than we had at the beginning, it seems!
Thanks to all who have encouraged us as we work with our old house. It’s nice to know that there are others who care. We care, too, and will do the best we can with the resources we have to make the place a decent place to live once again. Thanks.
