There's nothing quite like a pile of leaves, when you're 5!
I've reached the point where the only good leaves are burned leaves. :) Especially when the 'man' who can make the leaf blower start is gone from before dawn until after dark and I have to rake leaves the old fashioned way!
Yep, it quit raining again, and the job Keith's on has been working every day--but at least they're down to 11 hours a day instead of the 12 to 14 hours a day they worked back in August! Feast or famine. No idea how much longer it will last, before it gets cold and they shut the job down...
We had a real scare a couple of weeks ago. I took our d-i-l to the ER with a severe headache that she'd had for 4 days. After shooting her full of all the migraine meds they had on hand, the ER doc finally decided she needed admitted, and eventually her doctor diagnosed meningitis. Then we had a couple of anxious days waiting to find out if it was bacterial or viral. Our prayers were answered, because it turned out to be viral. She's back to work this week, and feeling pretty good. :)
It's official. We're not going to make it back to our SD shack this year. The truck camper is not livable in the Winter, and the plumbing and furnace ductwork still need to be installed in the shack. No way we were leaving a good-paying job to go out there this Fall!
In fact, I'm searching for anywhere in the warmer states where there's a lot of construction going on--we might just take off on a job search for the Winter. :) Warm is good.
I've nearly finished up a quilt for Dawn (it didn't start out to be hers, but she laid claim to it when I was still piecing the squares!) I'll put it away until Christmas--she'll have forgotten it by then!
Next comes a quilt for her brother! I may "cheat" and drag out the sewing machine for that one! It'll have to be bigger and tougher for a 12 year old boy!
Aside from that, I've gotten into Facebook and reconnected with some old friends, and family, so I spend a lot of time there! :)
So, there's a brief update... Nothing exciting going on! I see Keith for 1/2 hour in the AM and about 1 1/2 hours at nite--and the dogs are underfoot ALL the time!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
