The furnace guys came around 8:30 this morning to put the ductwork in. Apparently, at 12:20, the delivery people tried to deliver our new tub, but with the furnace truck in the driveway, I guess they decided not to drop it off. I was out getting lunch for the young men and me so I didn’t know about until I found their note tucked into my screen door. And at 1:30, Bill Curran came to work some more on our bathroom vanity.

I’ve taken a lot of interesting pictures today, but it’s too late to get them off my camera and post them. Mostly, I just wanted to let you know where we are tonight and that we are still alive! Continue reading
I’m sitting on hold with the IRS, so I thought this would be a good time to write about what Mark and I did on Saturday. We took a day trip up to Mount Lemmon which looks like it’s practically in our back yard but took forever to get to by road. Continue reading

Some of the churches in Door County have banded together to help the foreign students that come here to work in the summer. The students don’t generally have a car and are unable to get around to places they might like to see and things they would enjoy doing.
