Yummy....... From Jay leno the other night: The latest news is that Barack Obama has offered the job of secretary of state to Hillary Clinton., and she has accepted. That's kind of sad considering how close Hillary came to being the first female president. Imagine after that -- her next job offer? Secretary. Hillary Clinton might make a very good secretary of state -- she can cackle in seven different languages. Actually this works out great for the Clintons. While Hillary is concentrating on foreign affairs, Bill can get back to concentrating on domestic affairs.

Also, that you're not supposed to talk (to us) with food in your mouth? (That's my rant.) Chas,

I have to test both. Just doing my job. ;-)

They did take out one door and replaced it with plywood. But I still sleep with the windows open so no room for complaint. We are delighted with the entire project and pleased that it came at a time to provide work and purpose to some who sorely needed it in addition to giving us more space. Wish hubby could be here to enjoy the process, but then who would pay the bills? No, they have been most kind, leaving the interior walls until aftr the outside is enclosed.

It has probably been a bit brisk some nights if you have open walls to the outside where you're doing the addition. Brrr. Friends of mine were doing that when I was on furlough 4 years ago. October in New York was too cold for me when one wall was open to the outside. I told them I loved them, but next I time I visited I would prefer walls!

It is fun to see the growing away from the need for tv and video games as they turn back into children: outdoor games like baseball and basketball and fort building, indoor games like Monopoly and Risk, and reading fill their time. Laughter fills the air and it is a joy to be part of it. Eldest daughter returns this afternoon, eldest son next Monday, and hubbie next Wednesday. Sure could use the extra room but it will work! Thanks for praying. Five for the indefinite future, and they are doing great together so far.

The framing was finished yesterday and today the sheathing is going on. Out in the yard are the trusses and as soon as we come up with an idea on how to get them on the roof, they will be going up. It is possible snow this afternoon, but we are working at the speed of volunteers and when they find time, it is moving quickly though not fast. Quick enough for us on the inside. Daughter is arriving today and I am happy for that. The walls are going up on my house today. The framing was finished yesterday and today the sheathing is going on.
