Catching Up at Home

I can't believe it is Friday already. This week has gone by very fast. Buddy and I had dentist and eye doctor appointments this week. No cavities, YEAH!! The eye doctor was another story. We both had to get new contacts/glasses.

Buddy has been writing new songs and we have been recording them just about every day this week. He has been writing songs for a new sequel to Let the Rain Come. He wants to have them ready before the script is finished. He records on an 8 track recorder and then I make a cd and from there separate the songs and put them in order. It takes a long time just to do one song because Buddy plays all of the instruments. He eventually wants to go to a 16 or 24 track recorder. As long as it is fairly simple to run, that would be a great thing for his new songs.

Today Buddy got on the barn roof and fixed the part that the hurricane tore off last October. We had to replace some of the boards and 3 pieces of tin. It took us most of the day to get it finished. Our neighbor, Lee, helped us put the tin on. We have such good neighbors here.

Tomorrow we are renting a track hoe to dig out our little catcher pond. This small pond catches sediment that would normally go into the big pond. It needs to be cleaned out about every 4 years or so. The track hoe will dig it out and we have a wagon to put the sediment in and haul it away. We have the hoe until Monday. We will have to see how long it takes but we think we will be finished tomorrow by 6:00 pm.

We are excited about getting some things done on our list that before fall arrives. There is always wood to cut for our woodstove too! We do have a head start on that job.

We'll see what next week brings!
