Literally it is so beautiful this morning. The air is crisp, the lake is calm, and the sun is shining. The hummingbird has been to the feeder several times already....fattening up for the long trip south.
I slept in till 8 a.m. enjoying the warmth of my blankets. But soon after getting up I heard the noise of heavy equipment and realized they have finally arrived to lay the extra 133 linear feet of drainfield we need. We've been waiting for them all summer. So maybe if the bathroom gets done, we can have our final inspection on Friday like the contractor hopes!
I went and watched 4 of the eleven grandkids run in a cross country meet yesterday in St. Cloud. Tommy ran with the Middle School, Colie and Allie with the JV and Katie on varsity. So the first was at 4 p.m. and the last race was at 5:40....long day of standing and or positioning to see them run by several times during each race. Luckily we could stand in the general area of the starting line and see them start, finish and twice inbetween without having to move to far. By a little after 6 p.m. I was on my way to the cabin, (just 20 miles south of St. Cloud).
Even though I just left on Sunday evening and returned two nights later, the cabin has really changed. The railing is complete....even with hand rails, the floor in the family room is finished, and all the trim is in place. Jimbo, Doug and Brad have been working hard. The ceiling lights/fans in all the upstairs bedrooms still need to be hung as well as those in the entry way and hall, but all the outside lights are in. Funny thing is I even have a door bell! I wonder what mom will think about that? She always exclaimed how she loved coming to the cabin where there was no TV, no Telephone and no DOOR BELL, and now we have them all, plus the wifi.
Today I will paint. I need to put another coat on the railing, and two coats on the areas I haven't painted yet. Do a lot of trim painting in the lower level and do some grocery shopping in between sometime. I don't work as fast as the guys do, but I should accomplish a lot today. Also have to make some phone calls to ING, I still have money floating around in cyberspace they need to retrieve for me. Love and prayers, m
