Trying To Be Normal



I love this picture of John....studying...Will laying beside him. Wish we had electric power to read by. Today was a good day...each day gets easier as we get into the rhythm of living like Laura Ingalls.

Al and I spent a good part of yesterday afternoon packing up the remnants of her things at the house in Richmond. She and a friend borrowed a truck and hauled the final pieces of furniture today. We loaded it into the house in the dark.

We do have a new little generator, but it's just been hard to find gas to run it. Hopefully tomorrow will bring electricity!

Keith Spain came by today and helped John remedy the gaping hole in the driveway where a bit tree uprooted. They just cut the tree off hoping that the stump/roots would just plop back into the hole. Of course, it didn't. Keith went and got his truck and rope and pulled the tree stump back into it's hole! We didn't know he had come back...he texted that it was finished and we never heard a peep! Yep, there ARE "angels among us!"

P.S. I now have to fasten Will's diapers with duct tape so they will stay on :)
