Remember how I said I was going to find that great, great granddaughter and ask her a million questions? Well, SHE FOUND ME!!! Man, I just love this world. She sent me this wonderful email, filled with all kinds of nuggets - and I promise to share them with you. BUT, I want to meet her first and get some kind of timeline. I am also going to the historical society before I start piecing together the Firkin's history...

But guys, HOW COOL IS THAT???? (I was at a trampoline park with the kids - letting them jump off some pent up energy - when I opened the email. The dad next to me was definitely giving me the 'eye' because I was giggling with nerdy joy...no shame. It's who I am.)

Sometimes Finn will curl up with me when I am writing a post and ask me to read it to him. Well...we read the "salad" one and I wrote how he was "witnessing" all the work. Today he was adamant about helping. I only let him paint for a few minutes, since it was his room (which we FINISHED today!!! Woot! The Kilz phase anyway.). Then I sent them out into the fresh air to rake out that ginormous mulch pile.

Another day...tomorrow I am headed out to purchase 3 toilets and who knows what else...
