The Work Goes On

Another busy day. We are really beginning to see the results of our work. The house has great character. The area is called Vinegar Hill. The neighbors are friendly. Yesterday a lady brought cookies. Today another neighbor brought chicken salad and a book about the history of the area. I can see why the midwest is called the heartland of America. If I could be here without the winters it could be really good.

Yesterday I was able to create another legendary tale for our family. The story will start with “… you remember the time Papa tried to wear a crock pot as a helmet”. I can’t wait to hear all the embellishments. Since the tales will be much better than the truth, I will just let you hear the tales and not document the truth today. We plan to leave for home Friday morning.
