Day 110: It’s like a new bed again Ada got a new quilt for her bed on Friday. I had looked at a few comforters and such, but nothing struck me except for one at Nebraska Furniture Mart. Then we saw this one at Target. And it was cheaper. It has two things that excite [...]

Day 109: Look! Wooden Eels! We should build something. The deck was torn down today. Ada watched them and went, “Oh no! What are they doing?!?” Not all utilities have flagged our yard (including Aquila–hey!). The deck building will begin next week.
