Unfinished Business

For openers, the goats' hooves are trimmed, a chore we are all glad is done and over until the next time.

The windows, however, are only half done:  kitchen, "round room," and four 10-pane-per-panel French doors, which are a real pain to clean.  The curtains went up on all clean windows, but there are still the dining room and living room to finish.  I may or may not tackle the rest of the house, but there's no hurry.  This place has more windows than Carter has Little Liver pills.

The papers for the home Linda is buying are not ready to sign yet, but she has found another place to stay for the duration and will be moving today.  It is so unfortunate that our animals could not get along (who'da thunk it?).  Luna has been miserable confined to her room and my cats have been so territorial, fixated on the stranger in our midst, that they've not been happy, either.  Linda left Luna at her store for three nights and that made Linda so lonesome, not a good solution.  I think, pets notwithstanding, that we've helped my friend make the transition from urban living in Seattle to rural Fair Play.  She is off on a life-changing adventure and we (well, most of the "we" in my house) wish her nothing but the best.  I can't speak for Celeste and Ralph.

It's NASCAR Sunday, so there's a pretty good chance I'll finish the living room windows today while watching the race.  Then I'll be a winner, too!

You are right - whoda thunk it that the animals would be the ones to give Linda and Luna the boot! But hopefully her temporary lodging won't last long and then she will be installed in her new home and her transition will be complete!!
