Another busy day. We are really beginning to see the results of our work. The house has great character. The area is called Vinegar Hill. The neighbors are friendly. Yesterday a lady brought cookies. Today another neighbor brought chicken salad and a book about the history of the area. I can see why the midwest is called the heartland of America. If I could be here without the winters it could be really good.
Yesterday I was able to create another legendary tale for our family. The story will start with “… you remember the time Papa tried to wear a crock pot as a helmet”. I can’t wait to hear all the embellishments. Since the tales will be much better than the truth, I will just let you hear the tales and not document the truth today. We plan to leave for home Friday morning.
