Remember back in June when our neighbor's house burned? Today the dozers came to smash it and move it behind the foundation. Dennis enjoyed observing them in action for a while but then told me that he wanted to go back inside because "it's loud and I don't want to get smushed". Tonight we walked down the drive to watch the rubble pile burning, and though he told us he wanted to see it, he got unnerved by the big smoldering mess. He can't figure out why the fire trucks aren't here putting it out. I don't know that I'll rest all that easy myself tonight knowing that there's a fire going on at the end of our driveway, but it's a long driveway, thank goodness.
We salvaged enough wood and insulation to enclose our garage, and we're thrilled! We have been wanting to turn it into our home gym, and now we have everything but nails and siding, and it's mostly recycled! Recycled door, windows, studs, and insulation! Or maybe the correct designation would be 'reused' or 'reclaimed', but it means less waste and less cost to us. Now if only someone would throw out some perfectly good solar panels...
Big news: Dennis and I will start preschool next month. He'll be attending on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and I'll be working there a few days a month. The preschool's at our church, and we are very excited that he'll get to attend this year!
