Fun In The Country!

Haven't mentioned the move in a while. Debra, her sister, Carole, and I spent two days cleaning the new house. After being unoccupied for four years with one of the two air conditioning systems broken, it was in bad need of a scrubbing. We washed down all of the walls with a mildew preventive. The kitchen got a complete sterilization thanks to Carole.

We did have some pleasant surprises...the trash compactor, dish washer and garbage disposal all worked. They are very dated but at least we don't have to worry about replacing them in the immediate future. The refrigerator is still broken but my serviceman has great hopes to have it repaired this week.

I replaced all of the flood lights outside so the place looks lived-in at night...and it can be soooo dark at night in the country. Today began the process of refinishing floors in the great room. We have a great guy that seems to be doing a wonderful job.

Meanwhile, our present house is going to h--- in a handbasket. We're trying to keep a positive attitude.

In the spirit of Tom Sawyer we are having a paint the house party this weekend. If any of you are free you will be most welcome. We are a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of work to be done out there. Wish us luck. -Craig
