October 1, 2009: WELCOME TO OCTOBER!!!! Lightning storm to begin the month. Ouch
Well, I had jotted down a bunch of notes. Then we got hit by lightning - saw sparks outside the window by the pole. Everything popped - hurt our ears - still ringing. About as close as I want to be tonight to electricity. Ouch.
Anyway - everything is moving along at the house. Daisy’s fence arrived today. It came on an 18 wheeler - we had to meet the guy at the end of the lane. Picked it up and placed it into a smaller truck and brought it up the lane.
Dale was working on the closet and vanities today. Rodney and Don were working on the floors. So, everything is moving along. One step at a time. 
Thunderstorms tonight - obviously. No severe weather expected.

Daisy
Southern Illinois Electric - taking their wires down. They will leave the
poles for now in the field. Once the fields are clear then they will come
back and take the rest of the poles down.

Whew. Daisy’s fence must be big! Love the garage doors you are using; perfect for your home. And, I think it is wonderful the way you are recycling the old home.

Hi Sue
Well - the fence is about 40′x40′x40′ and then the garage is one side - so no fence along that edge. Hopefully Daisy will use the doggy door!!! I will have to teach her. I think she will figure it out.
Glad you like the garage doors. You will have to see them in person. They really stand out on the house.
I am anxious to get moving - I know you are as well. One day at a time - we are getting there.
I saw your photos yesterday and it appears everything is moving along swiftly. I know you are excited.
Tell Jack hello for me.
My dad comments all that time about your photography - he also sees you out and about with your camera! He said you must really enjoy photography. I told him - she definitely does!
