job

A WEEK later, the rain had stopped and the mud had dried enough to support equipment...so he worked yesterday and today!

Canned goods, etc. are still packed. :D

Hey, Marie! Are you guys doing okay? I missed my 'birthday call'.... :(

So, his new job isn't bad...except for the fact that they're trying to build a railroad spur in a mudhole (which pretty much describes this part of the Country this summer!). He worked 12 1/2 hours on Tues. and none since then. A little of that wouldn't be so bad, since they'd work 7-12s if the weather were fit, and the old man isn't really wired for hours like that! Meanwhile, I'm not unloading the little camper and the spare car just yet...cabinets and pantry are still empty and there's boxes piled around the edges of the living room!

Limbo

After 6 months of no work, we decided to pack up and go back to SD, where Keith has a job offer--for pitiful wages, but a job close to our un-finished shack. We've been sorting and packing--Keith even put a new head gasket on my Mom's old Dodge car so we could haul it out there to use! All the canned goods are boxed and loaded, the kitchen cabinets are emptied of food stuff....

This afternoon, the Union BA called with a job, about 20 miles from our IL home! AAAAAARRRRRGGGG! We weren't looking forward to living on non-union, slave wages, but were looking forward to having neighbors that we like and finishing the house..... There's a new crafters consignment store opening up near our house and I had my mini quilts and beadwork packed and loaded! Ah well, we must be where we're supposed to be--right?

I think I'll give it a few days before I start moving into the RV again! Good time to do some heavy housecleaning, I guess!

I hate housecleaning!
