We're in the process of getting our house ready for our home-study. The date hasn't been set yet, but there were a few things we knew we were going to have to do to make the Health & Welfare folks happy. We got a gun safe and my husband installed it today. All the liquor is out of reach. The household cleaning products are still under the kitchen sink while we debate the merits of cupboard locks vs. moving everything into the laundry cabinets, which are 5 feet off the ground.
We also fixed our satellite dish, which got wonked by the snow sliding off our roof while we were house-sitting. Amazing what a difference a few washers can make, compared with how long it would take Dish Friggin' Network to send their service contractors out. I'm on laundry load #4, the kitchen is spick-and-span, sheets are changed, surfaces are dusted, and I'm feeling whupped. We're off to see "Big Fish" tonight at the local theatre/Catholic church. Yeah, that's an interesting thing about our little town. The Catholics don't have a church here, so while they're building one out on the highway, they meet for Mass in the Roxy movie theatre. So there's an interesting little factoid for you all about my home: Cascade, Idaho.
