here we are

 Heidi felt terrible on Monday, which was unfortunate.  We still had a good time hanging out with these two girls.

 On Tuesday, the roof crew we've been waiting for since June appeared and replaced the roof.  We had hail damage in June, and our insurance company sent a check to replace the roof.  Tuesday, apparently was the day.

 These two were so stressed out by it--the sounds that sounded like people knocking on the door, the people moving past the windows and doors.  They kept announcing, "Somebody's here!  Somebody's here!"

Plus the roofing crew had the gate open, so the dogs had to be taken out to potty on a leash, and they couldn't go dog out in the backyard like they normally do.  That big puppy had a lot of pent up energy. She destroyed a box of Kleenex, stole artwork off the bedroom door and ripped it up, paced and panted.

This happened last week after years of our green table gradually returning to the earth, it's now like new.

 These are a couple pictures from last week when Kirsten was still here, made  me a little wistful. We had our mischief folks outside going nuts.

The dogs dug this big hole, then the baby filled it with water. Then the baby threw Cheetos in the water, which was very enticing to the dogs, but we really didn't want them up to their necks in dirty water fetching wet Cheetos.

Plus this too--Dannell broke her foot over the weekend, has to have surgery on Friday.  They're dealing with that day by day, and Heather is ready and willing to help. (She's awesome.)

And that's the end of today.   love forever, Mom
