Things are starting to fall back into a normal pace around here this morning.  Susan just left with the last of our house guests for the airport.  Nicole and baby "M" have an early flight to catch for Calgary, and should arrive there by 7am.  I will get to see them next at Christmas, which is just around the corner.
  So todays agenda will consist of more sorting of materials and supplies, and the cleaning and sorting of tools.  Then there is the job of putting them in their proper place of storage, to be assessable for the next job.  Once this cleanup is finally done, then it is on to the next stage.  Which is the set-up of a new work station for trim and cutting to finish the back entrance.  This is also my staging area for Susan and I when we do our tile cutting.  It is easy to move the tile saw back into the protection of the house (garage) when it is colder outside.
  When Susan returns from the airport, I am sure she will go right back to bed.  Last night she worked the close shift, then by the time she got home, had a snack (light supper), unwound a bit, and went to bed it was well past 11pm.  She did not get much sleep before she was up at 4:30 am to have her morning shower, and then take our house guests to the airport.
  Possibly this afternoon if it is warm enough, I might pull the lawn mower out for that last go around. Pick up those last few remaining leaves, and finally put the lawn mower away for the winter.  Yes one more job done for this year!
  We still have several more projects to do outside this year, but they seem minor in comparison to the accomplishments that family have helped us complete to date.  So I will keep on working on the little things while Susan is at work.  Then when she is at home tackling the major projects on her days off.  This way we can slowly accomplish our goal of Building the Simple life.......................
