We are taking the night off for elections!

I took a couple of days off from blogging. Not that there hasn't been anything going on, but more that it has been crazy the past couple of days. Sunday my Aunt Jackie, Uncle Casey, Kelsey, Mom, and me worked at the house. We didn't have any groups show up, but we were fine with no one coming out. We worked early and had to leave by afternoon to go to my cousin's visitation. Then on Monday was the funeral services. my uncle, mom, and me went to the house afterwards to work. My uncle has started knocking out walls. Caleb showed up along with Casey, Ann, Lily, and Logan that evening. Casey came to fix the water leaks. We now have water again and can use the bathroom. We have left one bathroom in place so we don't have to go behind the barn. We all went to chilis for dinner after he got through. Today mom is taking a break to campaign for our friend David Smith. It is a nice break for her and we all will be going to the Lime Light tonight for the victory party.

We are getting to the point to start taking out the sub flooring and putting in the new sub flooring. We also have found out the ceiling will have to be replaced. It has started to sag and crumble in some spots. The bad part is the flood insurance only pays for the flood damage not things damaged due to the humidity. Even though the humidity is caused from all the water in the house. The good part is it can be covered through her regular home owners insurance. Either way it is more work that has to be done. Also I found out from Ms. Davis at work that there was a story on the news about contaminated hay from the flood. Thank God we were able to get fresh hay from Mr. Evans. At one stable in the Nashville area four horses have died and seven are very ill with ecoli from the hay. We scattered our contaminated hay in some muddy areas in the field, but the horses are being kept in a seperate area. We will have to gather all the hay and get rid of it before the horses get near it.

We have been extremely blessed by so many during this time. We truely are very thankful.
