Finally trying to finish at the ranch

Can you believe we're nearing finishing at the ranch. The girls plus Steve came out
to help get rid of more stuff. Twenty years of gathering is not a good thing. Don't the
people in the know say that if you haven't used something in 6 month, get rid of it? Well
how about10 years or more? We found things I didn't even remember having.
Cassie, Ashley, Jenny, Nancy, Pam, and Steve came out to help and Buddy came out for
a while too. We had already taken tons of stuff to the Foursquare Church for the homeless.
this time, we took several bags to our renters and let them pick out what they wanted with
the understanding they would take what they didn't want to the Goodwill.
We moved our big bedroom set from the big bedroom into the little Bedroom and mostly
it fit, with a few changes. Cassie and Jeff are going to be staying there for a couple of
months at least. That way, Jenny won't be by herself when Jake is being a fireman.
We found a little dead mouse in the bathroom, and superhero Cassie got rid of it for
us. That's what living in the country is all about - varments! It's really bad when it
crawls under something and dies!!!
Jake and Jenny and probably CAssie and Jeff are going to be doing more cleaning, pre-
pping for painting and painting. It hasn't had a paint job in several years. They're
keeping part of our furniture and Ashley took the kitchen table and 2 chairs in her little
car. Nick wants a couple of pieces, and Maybe Nancy. My house is full, that's for sure!
Amy asked Papa today if he wasn't pleased that his grandchildren love each other so
much that they don't mind living together. They should have a ball.
