It’s Labor Day… so we’re laboring!  :-)  Fortunately we’re in good spirits as we work to make the Monroe house look less inhabited.

When we got to the house today, we were informed that last night a couple of neighbor kids were caught trying to steal the trampoline out of our back yard.  In the process they bent one of the legs.  Michael is going to see if a co-worker can fix it.  Sure makes it easier to turn our back on this neighborhood.

Last night we held our first “game night” at the Bobwhite house.  How fun to have people laughing and playing in “our” house.  I also slipped away for a while and worked through some of the piles of baskets that we’ve been carrying in but not dealing with.  What a good feeling to get things put away.

This evening we’ll have guests again at the Bobwhite house.  We’ll grill hot dogs and hamburgers and enjoy showing off where we’re living now.

The final news item for today is that Laura is going to go pick out her bird and reserve it.  We aren’t ready to bring it home yet, but at least we’ll know he’s waiting for us to get ready.  She’s so excited.  I told her we won’t go until the kitchen is packed up, so she’s been a good worker today!  She keeps urging me to get back to work and to let her know what to do next.

So, on that note, I’ll go get back to work.
