This month has been going by just too quickly. It's been an eventful month though. After the busy labor day weekend, my brother and his wife visited us for a few days. We had a fun time taking day trips with them to Lanesboro, Red Wing, and Wabasha. We also had some really good meals in restaurants and at home -- with the highlight for me being the lunch we had at the Anderson House in Wabasha. It's always wonderful to go there.
While my brother and his wife were visiting, I discovered that our furnace was no longer working. So, I had a new furnace installed. I'm glad we discovered it when we did and not when it was really cold.
The new furnace is now installed. The air conditioner seems to work better now than it ever did. We're getting a better flow of air...

Labor Day Weekend
We spent the weekend doing a lot of hard work around the house rather than traveling anywhere. I took Friday afternoon off work and trimmed bushes and put weed killer/fertilizer on the lawn.
Saturday, we put back the section of fence that we'd taken down for the landscaping. We also moved some patio furniture up to the new patio area on the hill. I also found a guy that was selling large rocks on Craigslist, so we picked up a load of rocks and put them in various places for landscaping. In the evening we went to Susie's roadhouse with Richard's daughter and her boyfriend. The prime rib at Susie's was delicious!
Sunday, I worked on more outdoor projects -- picking up rocks that are in the newly planted lawn area, planting perennials that I had in pots, and doing other little things with the yard.
Monday, we built a self unit in our basement storage room, moved stuff we want to get rid of into the garage and moved stuff we want to keep out of the garage. I also found a solid oak china cupboard on Craigslist for Richard to put his mother's/grandmother's china in. We'll be rearranging the dining room area in order to get the china cupboard in there...now, we just need to find some guys with big muscles to help us with the cupboard. It's a real beast, but it's also quite beautiful...it's in the garage now, and the garage looks more full than it ever did. However we are truly making a lot of progress!!!
