A Quiet House

Well, after much hoopla, Randi and Travis were able to close on their house last Friday - the 29th. Saturday and Sunday we spent painting, stripping wallpaper and cleaning. Monday after work we went back over there and scrubbed the bathrooms. Tuesday the moving van came with all of their posessions, so after work we headed over there again to help them unpack the boxes. We found the things they needed to make the beds, take showers and eat meals. That was only the beginning so we headed over again after work on Wednesday to help unpack more boxes. Boy they have a lot of stuff. But then they have a very big house - 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 full kitchens and lots of living space. It is huge!!!!! You know I really like my little house - well at least most of the time. But I can't help but be a little jealous of their house. Our whole house could fit in their basement. Oh well. . . . . .

Now for me I need to start cleaning. It was very hard to clean when we had all of their stuff packed in our house. We still have a lot of their stuff here, but they are gradually getting it out. As they bring things to their house, I clean. This house needs to be cleaned so badly!!!!!!! We also need to get the lawn mowed, the garden tilled and sticks picked up (we have had a few days of high winds that blew some branches down). So much to do, so little time!!!!
