October
I thought I would check in at least monthly to keep some cohesiveness to this blog.
October has found me traveling to my daughter’s on Tuesdays to home school my oldest grandson in the afternoon while she goes into her office. The next morning I watch the boys while she works as well. I’ve just started picking up her groceries for her as I pass through Stephenville on the way to her house.
This saves her packing up the boys for a forty minute drive both ways to get their groceries. I’ve really enjoyed putting my teaching hat on again, and I can tell that both boys enjoy me being there. Even the youngest one has gotten into the swing of homeschool.
A few months ago we made the decision to go ahead and build a house and a barn on our property. It’s been a slow process of applying for a construction loan, arranging for electricity and water, and getting a gate built.
Unfortunately, we were unable to hit water in our attempts to have a well dug. As a result we are having municipal water instead. Although, there was electricity on the property we were required to have a transmission permit, and we are still waiting on that to go through.
We do have a new, beautiful gate, and have learned that our builder will begin our driveway in a couple of weeks. It’s all falling into place, and we are thrilled to be getting to move closer to Brittany, Will and the boys.
“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.”
