Today Michael is off work again to focus on the Monroe house.  We are hoping to accomplish much today and tomorrow.

I woke up early this morning (NOT typical for me!) and decided to go ahead and get up rather than dozing back off.  I made coffee, washed dishes and made some oatmeal.  Amelia came out of her room blinking in the light and asked me why I was up so early.  She quickly joined me at the sink helping with the dishes.  It was nice to work together.

So, we greet another day; we prepare for hard work, and we hope for good progress.
