Rain, rain, rain.

How did I spend my day? Sarah came over because the water was coming up and Mom and Dad weren't home either. She had planned on taking Timmy's fall picture like she does every year but the rain hasn't stopped yet and it's 11: 30, past bedtime. Instead, she did laundry, helped Timmy with his school work, cut up apples for my apple cake, dearly enjoyed her ham and egg sandwich with a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup then topped it all off with a cup of hot herb tea and a piece of fresh apple cake. She enjoyed her day. She then went on to Bonnie's to attend her graduation from nursing[?] school, in Louisville. Hope they made it home OK in the rain. I made Kenny a apple cake last night and 3 more today. One for the freezer, one for Sarah and one for church dinner on Sunday. Had old apples that needed used up. We are moving right along with school work, we're on lesson # 78, closing in on Christmas, that far ahead but don't tell Timmy. Got the metal building frame up, most of it. I didn't help this week, Jenny, her husband Chris, Scott, and Jerod helped him some, some he did alone, a laborious task, trying to put cross beams up for the roof, alone. Gotta get Timmy to bed, he's watching Animal Planet and hubby is snoozing on the couch. I tried getting to bed early, only could manage it about 2 nights and that was it. It's now 11:45, I'll try for midnight but it's iffy, by the time I read to Timmy and get him settled down.

Need I throw my hat in the door first? Been busy with school work, Working one day at Bea's and one day at the lodge. The rest of the time is taken up working at the building sight, trying to get the foundation ready. The semi arrives a week from Monday and we're not ready yet. Dug 10 holes, 3x4 feet deep the other night, half by flashlight. Used an old worn out backhoe, glad that's done. Made 10 wooden boxes, 3 ft. high by 2 ft. square, one for each hole, glad that's done. Bent the rebar tonight, 2? for each hole, glad that's done. Hubby says he wished he hadn't started this project but it's too late to back out now so we march on, and on, and on......... Good night, it's 1:35, YIKESSSSSS!
