Updates

Yesterday's post was kinda heavy, so today it's just a couple random updates.

Kids update:

Brandon is down in Columbia at the USC-Kentucky game. Bummer that it's raining, but it should be a good game anyway. Not that I'm any kind of sports expert, or anything... Tomorrow, hopefully, Brandon and Megan will sign the contract on the house Brandon grew up in. Pretty cool how God has made it available at this time, and how Brandon was interested in the house.

Saw Zach and Sarah last night for the first time in a while. It was good just to sit around, chat, and laugh. Zach is playing in an ultimate tourney down in Columbia this weekend -- go NGU! Ha.

House restoration update:

Last Saturday, I re-screened the original screen doors for our house and hung them. It was nice to get a cool natural breeze going through this old house, for the first time since we've been here! It's going to be GREAT when the weather finally cools off a bit. LOVE autumn. Anyhow, this Saturday, I have to finish trimming out the screen doors. Unlike most screen doors, these don't use the spline-in-channel method. In our case, it's the staple-screen-to-door method like in the old days. Looks more authentic, but kind of a pain to stretch the screen evenly. But it's worth it, it looks right for the house. Don't you just love the sound of an old wooden screen door slamming?

God is good - Rupert is curled up next to me, The Office comes on in about 20 minutes, and there is a piece of Key Lime pie with my name on it in the fridge. We are blessed.
