Feeling Happy
Elsie, Utah and Still Plumbing
(This is Elsie!!!!!!!)
Had a pleasant e-mail from a past Daughter-in law. I received some more pictures of Sherry’s latest GREAT Grand child who is a beautiful little girl! I am looking forward to seeing that little girl of course, but BEN is the daddy and I look forward to seeing him. He works in residential building now, and I am anxious to see the houses he is building. He and his brother Corey are both in the building business.
I get the alerts of the comments and will get to them later tonight. Plumbing can be a bear. This is not too bad, mostly new work, so you do no run into the deteriorated pipes, drains etc. There is now a bathtub, hot water heater and stubbed up plumbing in the little building. Remember this building is only about 18’ by 20’, so I should not spend a career on it.
(You can probably guess, but this is Elsie also)
(Is that a cute smile or what?)
The senior citizens (the two ‘S’s) I have hired to help, spent most of the day ‘searching for carpet and vinyl’ and came back with ZILTCH! Then wanted to know if they could get paid early. Lord what ever happened to a good work ethic and donated labor? “I’ll have to admit though, that while I was busy someone did get the place cleaned up and the garbage, couch and washer hauled off (in personal cars) and by the city.”
Oh well, yes I am getting a little tired by the end of the day. But my work day starts after nine and ends around five. So I am not putting in a lot of hours. To be honest I am having fun. I love building.
(This is the storage building we are remodeling, we hope to pour concrete in the carport.)

Hey Jack and Sherry! This is Jessica Barrington-Use to be Helms. Hope you both are doing great. Just wanted to share some really neat information with you both. I signed up for this christian program and to make it short you send money to someone and three people send you money and the cycle continues. Anyway, One of my gifters called me today and wouldn't you know It was Joe and Sherry Darnell I do believe that was her name anyway we started talking about family and she asked me to let you know that your nephew Joe is doing good since his two brain surgerys. I though my goodness what a small world. Don't make Sherry work to hard! Hope to see you both soon. I do run into Vernon a good bit at Wal-mart :) I love you both! Take care! I enjoy reading the shipslog.
