HALSELL HOUSE RENOVATIONS
Our kids with some of their kids and grandkids are coming this weekend to celebrate Lou's birthday and the Halsell House will be in better shape to accomodate them. The air-conditioning ducts have been replaced with new ones so that the AC doesn't just cool the attic. I have purchased parts to make the dryer work and they should be installed by tomorrow. Our electric bills went up big time at the house last month and I think it was due to the A/C being on some of the time.
Lou and I went to Abilene yesterday and she made the trip fairly well after taking some Ibuprofen when we left. We shopped Walmart for fish food and dryer parts. When they didn't have the parts we found them at the new Lowes nearby on I-20. We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel right at noon and had to wait 10 minutes. I told Lou if we stood there long enough we would see someone we knew and about 2 seconds later Joyce Marton appeared and Lou had to tell her the story of hearing of her birth when her brother came to school and said we have two new babies at our house. Joyce lives just north of us and is spending a lot of her time taking care of her twin sister who is ailing.
Lou is doing some writing on her book, but has spent a lot of time writing her friends birthday cards and clearing up her desk. She wants me to do the same to mine. We still walk every morning and she tells me about what she is reading in the Bible. She loves Ecclesiastes but is also reading our SS lessons on Abraham and Sarah and the sons Issac and Ishmael. She is reading the book ABRAHAM by Feilder and I should be reading it in preparation for my lesson next Sunday. It is a great book where he argues that Jews, Christians and Muslims should all get along because we are all sons of Abraham. The problem is the sons started out fighting.
We are looking forward to seeing part of the family this weekend.
