This last week there was still loads of demolition work to do!
Except, if you look closely you will notice that the child on the right hand side of the photo is not necessarily working... He is reading old 1940's newspapers that are under the multiple layers of linoleum. In fact, if you look a little closer, he will notice he is reading the comics.
Not to fault him or anything, Tim and I were reading the other parts of the papers! I had NO idea that there were senate hearings being held regarding FDR having received warning in 1936 about an attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. We also were interested in reading that a man was arrested and thrown into jail in Omaha for dressing like a woman. When the police questioned why he dressed like a woman he replied that he "liked to." So they kept him in jail. Jobs in the classifieds were advertised with wages listed at $15.00 a week. Seven piece, brand new bedroom sets were sold for $129.00. A 384 acre farm with 100 acres of producing pecan trees was selling for $10,000.
Nothing like history lessons while you work!
Still so much work to do!

I had just heard that you had moved. That goes to show you that I needed to read your blog!
Lloyd and I just got home from our AOA missionary reunion up in Salt Lake. It was fun to see people and get to sing our AOA songs again. everyone seemed in good health and happy. The Ruckers were going to go up with us but Leanna is not doing well enough to travel after her stroke.
Just where are you living? I love that you are so well to roll your sleeves up and tackle such a bog project. YOu are teaching you kids how to work and make the world a better place.
I will be better about reading about you. You have such an interesting life.
Love,
Donise Price
