Wow! It feels like just about forever since I last posted even though it’s only been six days.
However, during those six days we moved significantly forward on the new care giving room. It’s all painted and today the new doors and trims are being installed. We seem to be headed for the home stretch with the necessary deadlines pretty easily achievable. So much for that update.
