New Island

 The new island is finally

ALL DONE!!!!!

So this morning, we decided to

eat our breakfast sitting there.

It was very nice!

We have some fun place mats that have

yellow lemons on them to protect

the wood, but with the wonderful

varnish, it says it is protected from 

scratches AND household cleaners.

It was fun to sit there though.

(I was going to eat breakfast there yesterday,

while Rod was at work,

but it was a little chilly in the house and

there was some yummy sunshine hitting

his recliner, so I sat there instead... lol.)

Anyhow.

It looks so nice!

I just love it!!!

Jim had another good day selling his

pumpkins, AND he got a nice write up

on Facebook from one of the residents.

It goes on to say "and Jim is very friendly"

or something like that.

And then there were some nice comments

from some of the folks who already bought

pumpkins from him.

He's enjoying meeting some of the folks

from town.

He said he's pretty sure he has waved

at EVERY resident in town and several

of them multiple times!

He's set up on one of the "busier" spots

in town and most folks drive by there.

Rod got the whole east side of the cinder

blocks under the house and today he

started on the west side.

Got 2 layers on, but then ran out of

the mortar so had to go get more while

he was in town for Mutual.

Kyle loaded up his excavator and dug

a trench for the EQ President and his

wife. (The people who actually own

Winston, the guardian dog who has been

living here for the last year while they

decided how / where they wanted their

new fence.) They have finally made

the final decision, and the weather is

finally cooperating.

(NOBODY wants to build fence when

it's in the 100's... and then we had all that

rain, and you can't fence in the mud either.)

Kyle will be ordering all the fencing material

and picking it up tomorrow probably

while Rod and I run down to Wichita to

volunteer at the new temple.

Anyhow.

Life continues to be one adventure

after another around here.
