Well, it poured rain all day. I took PTO from work today to work on packing and cleaning, and made quite a bit of headway. Man, am I glad we are getting the heck outta this place. I had to pause my packing to deal with the HUGE leak our roof apparently has. We experienced minor trouble with the leak last spring, but today there was water everywhere! I ended up putting a styrofoam cooler we have under the leak, what a pain. We went over to the new house today to check out how the basement handles the rain, and it was as dry as any basement should be. Allen was a little worried about it, but as it turns out there was nothing to worry about. Another great thing about the new house-real ceilings! :) The ceilings in the house we are in now are just flimsy tiles that are old and sinking in. They are kind of like the tiles you would see in an office maybe, with a ceiling light just like you would see in an office. The new house isn't huge, but it's going to feel like a lot more room because of having the basement, plus it has a real ceiling w/ real lights. It may not be ginormous, but is is DEFINATELY alot nicer. Allen and I need to get a bird feeder. The last time we were in Sturgeon, I mentioned something about how relaxing it was to stand in his parents kitchen and look out their windows to see all of the birds. Yay! Now we have a back yard, with kitchen windows facing the yard. We're gonna open up a little birdie cafe! LOL! :) It would be nice to get some outdoor furniture too, maybe we can find a cheap patio set somewhere. We haven't really looked yet. Number one on the outdoor needs, though, is a charcoal BBQ grill! OH YEAH!
In other news, Grandma Hazel sent me a text today saying she was probably planning on starting her journey home on Thursday. She is wanting to follow the route of the old Hwy 66. I think that would be really neat. I hope she takes lots of great pictures, but is very careful!
