Into January Already!

Time still goes fast when you are having fun or when you are busy.  We really are progressing.  Maybe not like professionals, but good for us.  We are finishing up the moldings, except for floor moldings and are ready to start installing cabinets, which are waiting to be picked up, hopefully in the morning.  There is still caulking to do, which is like there are always dishes to do or laundry to do.  Get the picture?

Last Sunday we had another serious storm.  We went to church, but wished we hadn't, ..cause it was really raining.  Branch president was home tending his flooded house, so we were all sent home after sacrament meeting.  We couldn't get home because of flooding and accidents, at least the normal fastest way and had to detour.  There was over four inches of rain here at the house, probably more in Mexia and other places.  It hasn't rained for eight days now!  We actually drove out into a pasture yesterday to explore a couple old houses.  That's pretty dry for Texas.

The interesting thing about this old place was the rain gutters.  They were round and drained into a barrel, we assume to be used in the dry season.  There was a well close with water, but maybe it doesn't have water all the time.
Keith is getting busy with outside the house reno projects like wiring for gas tanks and setting the portable office back upon it's stands after a big wind.  Salt Lake is coming to set up the electronics soon.
We did celebrate a birthday-Ryders!  He turned 10.  I remember flying to Laramie at the time of his birth.  It was a cold adventure.  Now he is big and tough and very smart, and cute too.
