It's all about the barn.

Pouring the concrete.

Mike and his crew continue to work on the barn. Next they will build the wrap-around deck on the back of the house. Lastly, they will install the storm doors Kathy purchased which are awaiting pick-up at Menard's by Denny and Kathy. Kathy has priced fence panels for the area we hope to create for Millie and Gizmo at the walk-out.

Bonnie has a job interview tomorrow for a contract job that would last 6 months. She is enjoying not working and it would be nice if we could figure out a way for her to not have to work. She loves school and wants her full-time job to be "student."

The vines still have leaves. We are supposed to have a hard freeze this weekend and that will probably be the end of the leaves. The vines are much healthier going into the winter this year than last.

Denny is still waiting for the delivery of his enclosed carport for his camper.

We hope to hear that the Pilot is ready to pick up tomorrow. They said it could take a week and Bonnie took it in on Monday. Bonnie is enjoying the rental car -- a Hyundai Sonata.

Kathy heard from the local SS office the day after she applied online. She was grilled about her work record and then told she had to send in an official copy of her marriage license and divorce papers. Checks are not issued the first month you are eligible but the second, and the date they are mailed is based on your birthday, so Kathy's checks will not be deposited until the 4th Wednesday of each month, and her first check will arrive in February and not January.
