Labor Day Activities

Last week, knowing Mandi’s love for the Beatles, the Knights invited her to a concert called the Classical Mystery Tour. This band impersonates The Beatles. They graciously allowed me to tag along. We had a really great time although we were disappointed that no one cried or fainted like when they saw the real Beatles. We were especially entertained by the accents. There is just something about hearing the word Indianapolis in an accent that made us laugh!! We also really enjoyed the snacks that Mary brought and weliked proving Roger wrong; we weren't the youngest people there by 30 years!!!

Other news:
-I (along with other school staff members) accompanied the White’s volleyball team to a Purdue volleyball game Friday night. My team must have been truly inspired because they played at a completely different level tonight. I was so proud of them. I wish I could put pictures up but I can’t because I must protect their privacy. We did get a great shot with Purdue Pete though.

-If all goes well, digging begins on our basement this weekend.

-We went on the longest canoe trip ever (7 hours!) this weekend with Nick and Holly and Mike and Bri. We launched the canoes at Manchester and took them out at Hwy. 15. The water was TOO low, we scraped bottom a lot, and had to paddle more than we would have like to. We still had a good time though.

Home Site

Here's where our new house will go!!! If everything continues to go as schuedled work on the basement will begin after Labor Day. Of course, I will put pictures up.

Driveway- Part II

The drive again- but with the rocks added this time.

Driveway-Part I

The driveway when it was just cut in.

Ready for the Next Step

Here's the site "all cleared," which really just means now we are ready for someone to come in with a bulldozer and remove the stumps. While they are here they will also put in a driveway for the new house! Stay posted!

Hard at Work

I have a feeling this won't be the last post titled "hard at work."

Preparing for the New House

Here's what the land for our new house looked like when we started clearing it this spring.
