My Dad came through again! He managed to get my pig weather vane installed on the garage cupola. It was just in time too. The very next day, J started a unit in Science on weather, and needed to observe the weather vane and anemometer in action!
He also built a very nice bin with a lid, which he put down by the road. This is for our trash...to make it coon and kitty proof.
Now that their basement floor has been poured, my parents have been working hard on their house. They have the 2 big floor beams installed, and have been working on putting in the sill along the top of the concrete wall.
J & L have been "helping" over there. Hopefully they don't wear their welcomes out! They will have more time to spend now that soccer is over for the season. I will miss seeing all these lovely folks on a regular basis, but I am looking forward to a breather in the activity arena.
JP announced today that one of his colleagues is ill, presumably with H1N1 (swine) flu. I examined a girl today with the same presumptive diagnosis. So...we have gone into lock-down mode out here on the hill. No unnecessary outings, particularly to places where many children have handled toys and books...hopefully those vaccinations are on their way to the 'Burg!
