Ben and Lee drove together and arrived here to help Phil and Anna with the barn. Instead of checking out their work I worked on the upstairs of the house, cleaning out the closet so the grand children can build a better fort tomorrow. Braelyn, Taegan and Kensley arrived just as I was finishing up. They helped haul garbage down. I had 3 checks that needed to be deposited so left to drive in to CEFCU then to Dollar General to pick up some craft items for tomorrow. I found lighted balloons and glow in the dark bracelets that will be fun to play with tomorrow night along with beads the girls can paint and string together and some dinosaurs for the boys to paint. I made it home just in time to cook lunch for the workers.
After lunch Mark brought the little trailer back loaded with scrap lumber which Taegan helped us unload for our wood burners.
We brought in a full garbage bag of small stuff to use for kindling.
Soon all 3 girls, Mark and I went to help Anna. We hauled left over wood down, tools were taken down and swept the floor while Anna was working on carpet squares. Phil took over where Lee and Ben left off on painting the ceiling.
Below is a video of just some of what we got done today.
At 4:30 pm pizza was ordered from Casey's for our dinner and it was a good thing we ordered when we did. The wait time was an hour. While we were waiting for that hour to pass Braelyn, Taegan and I played a few hands of Mexican Train. At 5:30 pm as I was heading to pick up the pizza the sun was going down and the sky was beautiful.
The pizza wasn't quite done but that meant it was good and hot. While there the phone never stopped ringing for people ordering pizza. The lady preparing them said it is now a 2 hour wait. Crazy how quickly they became overwhelmed with pizza orders.
We had wonderful weather with the temps climbing into the low 50s. Right now I'm wanting to soak in a hot tub but instead took an extra Aleve.
