Nov 15th update
Once again we were awakened by thundering rain and a tornado warning. So we started late (9 am) and were recalled back to base, where we stayed till 1 pm. When we got back to the house we noticed the roof of the next door neighbor’s house was partly blown off. Her carport is now a large metal pretzel. Cynthia said it happened at 6 am and it sounded like train. There was a shed across the street that is now a block away.
With a late start we (John & David) finished sanding the pecan floors and Ann put on one coat of sealer. Mark and his crew of Nancy, Dora, Brittany, and David V continued caulking the outside siding and trim. I went to Home Depot one more time to return the sander and buy the exterior paint (Golden Pond). All of the colors are now picked out and we will start painting the outside tomorrow. We also are going to paint the kids room and put on another coat of varnish.
At dinner Mark gave us a demonstration of how to wear a dust mask. He also cooked dinner. What will he dazzle us with tomorrow? Today was Brittany’s last day. She will leave for California to enroll in a masters program in nursing. We will miss her, so will Lilly. They have become like sisters.
Till tomorrow…
