Work, Work, and more Work

I haven't blogged the last couple of weeks because, again, I think what we do as a normal course of days or weeks isn't part of our exploits and then I think they really are, just not as interesting as others.

We have continued to clean up around our place and it really does look great. Even the UPS guy commented on how nice things looked. We have cleared an eight acre piece that was totally overgrown and now is almost totally cleared, we have new fence in some areas and had others refenced, we hauled several tons of garbage to the dump (mostly from the 8 acres), rerouted electric and water lines in the yard etc. etc. etc.

This week begins the preparation for a long trip, something we haven't done since last November. We are leaving next week to go to Kentucky to celebrate sukkot (we will live in tents) with our friends from that area. And then we may be will stay over and help them work on their house. They are doing an addition. We'll see how that goes. However, this week Jim has been hard at work preparing the place for us to be gone. He has mowed, mowed, and mowed some more and I have to admit the place looks really nice.

I on the other hand have gone shopping with Tiffany, had my hair done, lunched with Marge, had dinner with my parents and generally goofed off. Sunday will be crunch time for me to be sure we have all the necessary items inventoried, cleaned, prepared, and ready to be packed up in order to leave out on time after sundown on Tuesday. Jim will be helping with the preparations also, no goof off time for him!

I'll try to find time to blog from the road. Kentucky should be into fall leaf change during the time we are there and we are taking the motorcycle to get some good ride time on the mountain roads. I can hardly wait.
