A Friday of Work

Today, all the girls and Mom went down to work at the property, as Dad and the Boys are out of town. I got the job of digging down to find the sewer pipe that we are going to tap into. Starting out, I felt like it was a treasure hunt because I kept finding coins in the first few inches of ash and dirt, but it quickly became just dirt and gravel and no more coins. I finally found the pipe about 2 ½ feet down. We had a nice little break to go with our lunch. Unfortunately, I spilled the orange smoothie from the thermos all over. And, it was good, too! After our late lunch, I dug around in the foundation pulling out garbage for awhile before I had to head into town to run a few errands before stores closed. When I returned, dinner was being prepared and everyone was home for the day. Showers and hair washes later, we all felt clean and nice again. My older sister made a delicious dinner and we finished the evening off with a comedy movie. I was attending to other things in my room, so I wasn't watching the movie, but I could sure hear it.

Now I have a very red and sore sunburn from my day. Ouch!
