Plenty to report but no rush: since last time I've travelled back across half the country, spent a ton of time in the WorldLounge in DTW, gotten errands done, washer and dryer delivered and installed, watched a Michigan football romp, worked hard at work, dug a trench, landscaped, hauled rocks, and mounted street numbers. The last item is really the most exciting; for whatever reason people at Spring Ridge Crossing don't seem to take much interest in front-of-the-house upgrades. We can't find a single home with a) an upgraded porch light or b) different, not $0.49@ACE, house numbers. Both are on our list but (b) was more attainable this weekend so that's the way we went. We also put Spike - my Floridian palm - into a new, real pot that now occupies a place of honor in the front room. Jenelle worked hard while I was gone and we put in long hours this weekend and the place really seems like home.
