We learned on Wednesday that Carl's best friend's sister died; on Thursday we drove to Kilgore in far east Texas and drove back home on Friday after the funeral. Even though I was born in Texas and lived here my entire life (except for two years in Oregon), I know very little about the eastern part of the state. We drove through country I'd never been to so it was a lovely, but long (7 hours each way), trip.
On Saturday my sister, brother-in-law, and a friend of theirs from Las Vegas came down and we took a kayak trip. It was relaxing and uneventful until I turned over going through a chute and lost my kayak, my paddle, and my shoes. Everything was recovered and I suffered only minor cuts and bruises. We ended the day enjoying a shrimp boil at our friends' house.
As far as progress on the house: we now have foundation entrances for electrical and plumbing; we expect the foundation steel to be delivered in the next couple of day and the concrete to be poured this weekend.
Until later. . .
