I have not written a blog lately because we have been too busy and we have not traveled anywhere. We have finially finished with our remodling in the house. We don"t have everything back in yet but Susan can now get her car back in the garage.We really like how it all turned out. It is a more open space from the kitchen to the living room and then Susan has a huge sewing room. So far we have been careful what we have put back in the house.. It seems to be tought for some people (Susan) to get rid of things that we nvever use. We have already donated a 16 foot lowboy trailer full of appliances and "stuff". Still have a third of the garage to go through. We are just taking our time.
We spent Saturday thru Tuesday babysitting our Grandkids. Actually Susan went over Saturday and I went over Sunday. I stayed Till Sunday as I was helping Kevin do a few projects down at his house like putting in a new toilet and bathe shower connections. I also mowed the yard as its supposed to rain just as we get back. I had to go back Monday morning as Kevin called and said my water well pump had lost its prime. I had been having problems but hoped it would wait till we got back home but nope it wouldn"t. One thing about living in the country is you get to work on a lot of different things most people take for granted. I pulled the well pipe and put a new foot valve in it.( That sounds easier than it was ). Back in service and problem fixed. Back to Grand kid Heaven. One thing I didn't mention was the night before I fell twice in Kristi/Mikes new house. They just moved into a new house last week. I had only been over there once and was not very familiar with the layout. All the guest bedrooms are upstairs. I hate stairs and two level houses. My back and knees just don't like them. All the kids don"t understand but one day they will get old and then they will understand. Anyway I went downstairs in the sort of dark house. I missed the last stair on the staircase and gracefully plopped down on the floor. Susan came of of the bedroom upstairs to see if I was ok and said to watch the steps going to the living room. Actually there are two different set of steps as I found out. Made the first one fine but then I found the second set. As I was laying on the living room floor I couldn't help but laugh hoping that when I finished I would be able to get back up. Well I did and got the pillow I wanted and crawled back up. Wasn't able to sleep that night cause of my back pain and stiff neck. Made for a tough day. ( driving back home to fix well and then driving back) I got back and put the Tinns unit (shock therapy"on my Back and Neck and layed on couch till the kids got home. It really helped my neck and made a lot of progress on my back. Was able to sleep that night and felt great the next day. That evening we had six kids for awhile but they were all great . When Kristi and Mike got home we headed home. I went to bed and slept all night and didn"t wake up even one time which is a miracle for me. I also sleep till 6 which is late for me.
