And, There Was Light...Once Again!

As you can see it is a rather precarious job to change the lights over our staircase. We wait till all three of the bulbs have gone out before we even think about it. But, once they do go out, it is rather precarious to go up and down our stairs when it is dark...we have to leave the lights on in the upstairs hall and also a light on in the living room to keep it safe to travel by stairs at night. So once that last bulb goes out it doesn't take us very long to seek help from a friendly neighbor. (For those who don't know...our next door neighbors on one side of us are our son and his family.) So this morning Woody sought out Nathan's help. Now we have this nifty ladder that can be bent into all different shapes to do all sorts of jobs. The trick is figuring out just the way it needs to be bent for each particular job and it is easy to forget between times of changing those light bulbs just how it was bent the last time. But finally after several tries Nathan got it figured out and safely went up and changed the bulbs so we have light on our staircase once again. Thank you, Nathan!

I had school with Elijah, Esther, and Joy and sewing lessons with Abigail this morning. Abigail finished her daddy's placemat...much to her delight and got started on Elijah's. She was pleased to have her Daddy use it at their noon meal. After lunch Graham came over and got Woody to help him dig a garden for Joy. Woody didn't take his walk till this afternoon when he walked into town for a meeting. I worked in the library this afternoon. A library co-worker and I got a lot done...got quite a few books completely ready for circulation...and, in doing that we emptied another box. We're still waiting for the cabinets to be built in the library so we can get things totally back into shape...maybe that will happen "one of these days." Woody has just gotten home from his "Fresh Encounter" class at church.
