Raise the Roof - Day 2


Sunday was a day of "rest" which meant that, after church,we did some hard time in the attic of the barn sorting through our accumulated treasures. We have to take advantage of that dumpster you know. Of course, Heidi just moved her treasure from the attic to her car. (Scott will be moving it to the attic of their garage and someday Ian and Nick will be moving it........) I've been in a "throw it out" kind of mood. Tom finished up his second summer tour in Texas and had arranged to fly into Pittsburgh. Scott made the drive to the airport while I took the girls to see a production of "Into the Woods" by GACT - Greenville Area Community Theater. This is the same group that I did "South Pacific" with in 1982 - yes, unbelievably, 27 years ago. Heidi and Teresa continued to do amazing things in the kitchen putting Mom's new grill through an initiation that could almost be consider hazing. I think they might have even grilled the iced tea? We ended the evening with a multigenerational game of Phase 10 - although Jacob was the only male brave enough to take on Heidi, who has a reputation for being rather ruthless. It was Teresa's rookie game and she whipped us all.

Looks like you are all having a blast with the roof project. What is Phase 10? We will have to try this game when we are all together. Love your blogs. They are quite entertaining. Wishing you luck with the project. Good to hear that it is not raining.
Love, Liz

A minor correction to this blog. I moved several boxes straight to the dumpster...Not saying that Ian and Nick won't still have quite the pitch party when I move into my heavenly mansion.
