Well it is quite a wet Wednesday out there - Jamestown is getting hit with some nice solid rain.  (Logan over at the Sun posted a vid and a funny scanner comment on it.)  On the bright side, Jennie swung by the house and did a quick look:  no leaks to report, so the roof [...]

It has been a busy, but exciting weekend so far.  We closed on our new house Friday.  Since then we have been looking over the place and trying to move small loads of stuff.  (The idea being when everyone shows up to help with the big move next weekend, it is hopefully just going to [...]
