all is right with the world. Earlier this week Dad was appointed to the Murray River Village Council! He joins his cousin Garnet Buell and friend from across the road, Marven MacLeod on the Council. They meet monthly to decide village business. Dad will be great at it as he has a lot of experience from being on numerous boards over several years at their church when they lived in Springhill. I think they are settling in quite well. Dad and family left Hopefield 61 years ago December, and I can't help but feel very happy for him to be home again and part of the community.
I have not updated for quite a while as anyone who still checks this site can attest. The work has slowed down to the details which are time consuming and Mom and Dad have been as busy as always. They are incredibly meticuous and the house is much better for it. The tile has been installed in the entry foyer, and the prefinished maple hardwood floor will be installed on November 20th. After that, they can move into the living room and relax for a while. They have also stripped and repainted the rest of the main floor doors, and bought a sofa. It will be delivered once the floor is done. Then they can set up the TV and relax.
There are two more projects left that I would consider big, and the rest are minor details. The two projects are to finish the basement bathroom and to drywall and finish the second floor. The bathroom is next on the list over the coming winter, and the bedrooms will wait a while. Beyond that, there is trim to be milled and installed, some more painting, and hanging wallpaper, which I am itching to get started.
CONGRATS DAD!!
