Much of the day was spent out at the farm. We went over around lunchtime. The kids and I played a dice game before it was time to eat. There’d been some excitement throughout the morning when one of my nieces discovered there was water leaking from one of the downstairs ceiling lights. The contractor sent his guys over right away to figure out what was going on. They were over there cutting holes in the ceiling and bedroom drywall trying to determine where the leak was coming from.

They finally determined it was coming from the master bathroom shower. It turns out the tile guy is going to have to tear out all the tile and then completely redo it. The contractor was very embarrassed and apologetic but insistent that the problem would get fixed. My mother-in-law really wasn’t too worried about it. There’ve been several kinks like this that have needed worked out since she moved in to the house.

They’d bought some chicken and pulled pork from Sam’s Club, so we had sandwiches, chips, fruit, and Girl Scout Cookies for dessert. The chicken was really good. I don’t know what it is with pulled pork anymore but it has become one of those meals that I do not get excited about it. I really don’t like to complain about any food, but sometimes you just have something so often as it becomes the go to meal for every church function or family gathering. Food is hard, it’s just one of those things.

We spent the afternoon hanging out and playing outside. The kids set up a badminton net along with some other yard games. Three of us took a walk along the distance of the lane, so a mile. That was the most I’d walked since feeling better again this time. I have some more exercise thoughts and ideas but I will save those for another time. My mother-in-law and I stayed inside while the others were outside more.

She and I eventually walked out to the creek. They have a small cemetery along the border of the property. She said people used to come on occasion and wish to visit but that now no one comes. The others had walked out there to see it, as my nieces had never been out there. It’s surrounded by a stone wall and Josh’s dad used to burn the inside of it to keep the grass from growing too tall. We sat on the patio steps and watched them all walk back from across the field. It was another nice day.
