It's been a while sinse I've posted, so I'd better catch up.
Yesterday was the Grand Jury Trial for Penny and Randy. Penny plead guilty and got 5 years probation with irregular submission for drug testing, 125 hours of community service, court costs, and restitution to her victim (which will NEVER be paid). She was then placed (or kept) in cuffs to be sent to Jefferson County for trial there on charges of manufacturing meth.. I'd just LOVE to know what she was thinking while she was riding over to Jefferson County.
Randy was not ready to plead, so his trial was delayed for getting him ready for trial.
Stucco has left the work at Creekside again. He aledged that I owed him $1000.00 for the rest of the work he had done. I had already over-paid him, but Steve said to just give him the money and get rid of him. There's much less friction in the air now, and Janie and I are getting so much done by ourselves.
There was some problem up at the trailer with the heat, and Randy Newberry came to repair it. He then came to Creekside to collect his money, and got the 50-cent tour. He was very impressed with the progress Janie and I have made. He likes our taste, and is in awe of our abilities.
Steve decided that he didn't like the way the front door was hung, so he took it apart three days ago, and it's still not put back. It might never work right again. He's doing a lot of yelling about it.
I went into the crawl space to work this evening. It's a lot warmer and friendlier down there.
I'm nailing some supports at the junctions of joists, to tighten the floor up a bit. It was badly needed. some of the braces in the floor could be moved with the slightest pressure of your hand. I think they didn't spare any nails. I'm using 2X4 blocks and joist hangers....and LOTS of nails.
I've still not got all the insulation done down there. There's so many holes in that building, it's like a chicken coop.
Janie and I came up to Clairemont today and got a load of fire wood for the wood stove at Creekside. It was dry enough to take the truck down into the pasture, so it saved us from having to carry the wood up the hill by hand. We got quite a pile moved.
If we have cold weather now, we'll be ready for it.
I'm still losing hair, and my throat still sounds terrible. I don't know what to do.
Janie and I are contemplating a trip to Mayo Clinic in Florida soon. Maybe they can help me.
The Womack's dogs came the other day and killed Billy, our pet goat. They tore him all to pieces. I am so mad. Their dogs have caused so much grief for us. Billy was the oldest animal on our farm.

Claire ~ Sounds like those neighbor dogs really got your goat this time ~ no pun intended! Sorry for the lost of Billy the Kid! Glad you are able to return to work at Creekside ~ also glad the criminals are getting their day in Court and a little extra for their efforts ~ grin! I'm so sorry you have so much to put up with these days. Maybe if you cut your long hair and remove some pins, the headaches and hair loss would stop? More than one person have claim that as a being a source of hair loss ~ esp. those hair pins! I hope your sleep has improved and you will get checked into the Mayo Clinic soon in Florida for a thorough work-up. Whre in Florida is that located? Julie lives near St. Augustine on the NE coast of that state. Take care, dear friend, and remember you are kept in prayer for a complete recovery to your spunky self again! Love ya, Faune
Claire ~ I just found out that the Mayo Clinic in Florida is located in Jacksonville, FL. That's about 40 minutes or less from Julie Jones, my youngest daughter's home in Ponte Vedra. Do let me know when you are going, so I can give her your phone number and maybe a contact can be arranged. She's all grown up now, my blondie, with two children, Camdyn, age 7, and Preston, age 3. She always asks about you and would love to see you again, for sure. Take care and keep in touch, my old friend!
Loving hugs, Faune
