We worked really hard this week to get the house ready enough for our stuff to arrive in the shipping container. We finished painting the south side of the house. The north side will need to wait for a different time. We also got the carpets shampooed and the bathrooms and kitchens cleaned. The windows are open, so everything should dry nicely while we are away.
Naomi and I are both wiped out, so a few days by the lake at Aunt Jenny's house should be just perfect. Luckily my teaching classes were canceled as well, so it really feels like a vacation. Stopped by the woodworking store in Appleton on the way down. Nice to see it in person. The guys who work there are great! They had a sale, so I picked up a few things.
Yesterday was my grandma's 87th birthday. Most of the family was able to gather and celebrate. It was a lot of fun! Special that we can finally come to such events. Great to see everyone again!

| Big apple tree fell down in my parent's orchard. The deer and turkeys had a field day. |
