Or, What Would Yosemite Sam Say?
Yes kids, that is a stair tread from the much feared spiral staircase. It collapsed underneath Rich this past weekend. Fortunately, this DID NOT HAPPEN when our friend's Pete and Nora were visiting with their young daughter Laurel. Yikes.
I've been too busy to make posts, but suffice it to say that we have made a lot of progress but it just doesn't feel like it! Rich has procured a wet saw for tile and many other new toys to fill the shed. He also tiled the floor of the second bath!
The biggest news is that we were able to get things cleaned up and provide the appearance of control over chaos to have Pete, Nora, and Laurel visit this past weekend. We managed to secure the stairs using combinations of baby gates, shoes racks, and Wii boxes (that's right kids, the Wii is in the house!). Like any good toddler, Laurel figured out a way to find danger where the adults least expected it.
The Herrins helped us say good bye to Dotti for the last time. We took her ashes up a small mountain near the house and found a nice pre-existing memorial which marks the spot. The weather was a bit gray and rainy, but the Herrins survived their first hike with Laurel!
