Hi everyone, it is a nice morning here in SE Ohio. Yesterday it started to get nicer, and by afternoon it was just lovely. I spent the morning yesterday cleaning house. I am in the mood for spring. Then I sat outside and read a book. Cale only worked 2 days this week, so he has been doing some work on the kid's bathroom. Re-doing the inside of their shower, installing a new faucet, new fan, and putting in a shelf. Now I need to go in there and clean up the mess!! Last night I washed laundry and hung it out. I like to do it in the evening and them when I get up in the morning I feel like I am ahead of the game, instead of running behind. Megan got to go on her first trail ride with Cale last night. She has ridden a lot close to the house, but has always been afraid to go on a long ride in the woods. Cale said she did a great job, and she was smiling from ear to ear when she came back. She is the most reticent of the kids,and we have to urge her to try new things. Today I am working here until noon. Then I am meeting my best friend and fellow volunteer worker at the Community Center. We are working on a fun project. We are putting up a bulletin board with pictures of everyone in the community and various town functions. It will be like a giant collage. I think I will make a sign that says "Hometown Pride" or something like that. Well I'd better go, I have a lot of work to do this morning.
