Letter From Life Down Here

Ridiculous I know, but I don't have any photos to share... for the moment. This month has been very discombobulated, but it is chug chug chugging along. The flooring has been finished upstairs, the trim is going on tomorrow, finish coat of paint Saturday and... we're done. Fire chief needs to sign off on the smoke detectors after everything is finished, so we wont be able to move anything in until next week, but that's ok. Sunday is usually a pretty tired day. I probably won't be feel like lugging a mattress and four dressers up two flights of steps anyways. Know what I mean?

Other than the house upstairs, it's been a pretty busy month down here, too. Our circuit overseer was here into November, we started the Kingdom News campaign, and Tyson and I are both pioneering. I feel like I've either been out in service, cooking for the helping workers, or in the grocery store shopping for cooking for the helping workers.

So yeah not a whole lot of creative anything going on. My sewing machine is surrounded by other exiled furniture in the basement, my kitchen has been churning out pretty standard group fare, and my sketch books haven't left the purse much. I am planning a little project of drawing different silhouettes of their choice on the kids roller shades in their bedrooms (it's looking like London wants airplanes, and surprise! Spencer wants cars). I'm thinking I'm probably just use sharpies but I'm open to other ideas...??

Hope you're all well. I'll have pictures of our painting party Saturday, maybe sooner.
Stay cool and keep warm,
Cass
