Update





we're making some changes to the house.... and grounds.... and the barn.... and driveway....
Even though all the work is unbelievably loud, and there is scarcely room to walk on the driveway amidst crews working on the barn, deck, siding, etc.., (and their cars and trucks and saws and dogs.... and RobĂ­n hauling wheelbarrows of huge rocks),
it hasn't been so bad to have all the shouting and laughing for the past few weeks. (Of course, when I'm studying it gets a bit crazy and I often need to visit the library- and I could do without all their smoking, but they are all very nice) When the next door-goats start screaming at 4 PM the crews starting hollering right along, when we're going to start making lunch they offer advice on how best to boil pasta, and when I was cleaning the attic today they were on the scaffold right outside the window having an enthusiastic sing-along. Basically, it's a zoo.... But the house it really looking lovely- and they were right about the pasta....

I may just be dense, but who are your two inventor friends?

Ha. No, probably no one knows that they are inventors to the extent of having to go through patents and such- but Mr. Cabey and Noah are. And they are quite smart as you know.... :-) Cables is a very good employer too.
